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?

In the future, I want there to be a focus on having a healthy and attractive work environment, with opportunities for all people, where you develop as the person you are. There will be a strong focus on young people getting a good education as they did in the happy 80s, when people learned to write by hand and not on digital media... That we forget AI and return to the days when we talked together mentally and not through social media. Taking care of the elderly in nursing homes and making sure they had a good time after a long working life where they had contributed a lot of money to society. A world where Mette Frederiksen and Corona had never existed. Back to Mogens Glistrup and Anker Jørgensen.

Zelená budoucnost
In 2040, I would like to see a world where there is more balance between technology and nature. People would use modern technology to protect the environment instead of destroying it. For example, smart cities would have green roofs, vertical gardens and energy self-sufficient buildings. Transport would be green - electric and hydrogen cars would replace combustion engines. Public transport would be fast, convenient and accessible to all. Healthcare would be more advanced with artificial intelligence to help diagnose diseases. People would have greater access to quality education, regardless of their background or financial situation. Society would be more focused on mental health, and people would have more time for family and personal development. My ideal world in 2040 would be sustainable, just and harmonious.

I believe that the old continent of Europe will be safe and very beautiful in the future, with the disappearance of tyrants and dictators like Putin, and that we will live in peace and happiness, preserving nature and its resources. There will be enough work for four days a week, health care will reach a high level, the average life expectancy of the people will reach at least 100 years.

Rok 2050
In 2050 I would imagine a beautiful and bright future without quarrels and wars, so that all people are happy and content. As for the environment, I hope to plant more trees and keep order so that there is plenty of greenery and wildlife. So as far as development technology is concerned I would like to see normal (diesel/petrol) cars as well as electric cars, also better and more accessible infrastructure to foreign countries and villages. Let there be more affordable housing for young people who would like to afford or even own a house or land as salaries and wages are miserable and inflation is not helping. Let the shops be more modern but at the same time don't take staff away because of modernity as jobs are hard to find. Lastly, people could be more kind and friendly to each other, to other people, to animals and to the planet.That concludes my wishes for 2050.
