OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

Alles gut?
I hope for the future that the world will be so pacified by then that there will be no more such wars as before. Until then, it should be a matter of course in the "developing countries" that people can adjust peacefully to coexistence and design their lives with the right technology in such a way that everyone receives a reasonable standard of living, i.e. the right educational opportunities, sufficient food, etc. These countries manage their raw materials themselves and are reliable trading partners for the "industrial countries". The technology is so advanced that solar power can be stored in sufficient quantities, so that "Dunkelflauten" can also be overcome over several days and in winter. Especially in the desert areas, the solar power harvest will be so good that all people on earth will have their livelihoods, so that it would not be necessary to invade other peoples in armed conflicts.

I imagine that we are all very busy freeing nature from all the concrete. We are happy because there is finally security and peace all over the world. The bad people are gone and we can enjoy the good air and nature in all its splendor. We will cook and eat together, nobody is envious of anyone else. Everyone is happy with what they have, because they have everything they need to live. The waters are no longer polluted and no one is cruel to animals or uses them as test subjects. We all have only one faith and only one God, to whom we are grateful for everything he gives us every day. We are getting healthier and fitter every day and we can travel the world without money and see and experience everything that we previously only knew from books or movies. We will be welcome everywhere and get along with everyone. There will be no more stress or entrepreneurs who want to get richer and richer. Because no money in the world can buy life.

Between now and 2050 my life could be transformed in extraordinary ways. I imagine reaching personal and professional milestones that seem far away today. I might change careers, following a passion I have always kept hidden, or perhaps start a project that inspires others. My relationships will grow and change: new friendships, deep loves, perhaps a family that will enrich my days. Travel may take me to faraway places, opening me to different cultures and perspectives. Revolutionary technologies will affect my daily life, simplifying current challenges and offering me unimaginable opportunities. I know there will be obstacles, but every difficulty will make me stronger and wiser. Looking back in 2050, I may smile, acknowledging how much I have grown and how the path, with all its unexpected turns, has made my life unique and extraordinary.

Bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen
Wie sieht das gesellschaftliche Leben in 2040 aus? Ich plädiere für ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen für jede Bürgerin und jeden Bürger von Geburt bis Tod. Wenn jeder 1.000 € bekommen würde, dann hätte eine Familie mit 2 Kinder, gesamt 4 Personen, ausreichend Geld für einen angenehmen Lebensunterhalt. Halbtagsbeschäftigungen und Hobbys in der freien Zeit haben genügend Raum. Finanzieren kann man das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen durch Wegfall von Zuwendungen wie Wohngeld, Kindergeld, Unterstützungen aller Art. Es gibt dann sicher weniger Krankenstand, Zeit für Weiterbildung, Zeit mit den Kindern, Zeit für Sport und Hobbies und bestimmt weniger Neid unter den BürgerInnen.
