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?

I would like to see a future where there is a safe public space, where there are no lunatics with knives on the streets killing innocent people. I wish that drug addicts and aggressors would be punished severely for their actions and hurting their victims and that our laws would not protect criminals and juveniles. Let criminal liability be reduced and let there be harsh laws and punishments for criminals of violent crimes. Let there be respect, deference and warmth among the people.

I would hope that the world would be a better place to live in, less pollution, less inequality, and offer many opportunities for all, of course no wars to threaten existence . one would also hope that science has solved the many problems that plague us, npn more disease or suffering, food for all. respect for all living forms animal or plant, a kind of garden of eden, but without snakes

I dream of a Europe where everyone can be themselves. Everyone would be happy, not having to be afraid of other people, terrorists, etc. Everyone would have a job and a home. Health care would be good and easily accessible with a low threshold. Europe should be democratic in its decisions, so that one country, for example, cannot reject the majority's wishes. At present, emigration is the cause of the vast majority of street-level fears (drugs, sex crime, violent crime, etc...) and this needs to be addressed. More police officers are needed to patrol e.g. city centres and suburbs. Training should remain at least at the current level (in Finland) and should continue to be free of charge. It could be easier to move to and make a living in other Member States, to make Europe more coherent. People should be supported to eat healthily, at the moment all cheap food is hollow carbohydrates with no nutritional value. So tax breaks for healthy food.

We all live in a world w here our environment is much better and the forests are slowly coming back to life. There are fewer dead trees because the air is cleaner and less polluted with CO2. We have found various ways of producing less CO2 and removing it from the air. Private transport still exists and it is not just electric cars that are on the road. Overall, cars have become much smaller again because nobody needs such large vehicles anymore. People in large cities are also using bicycles of all kinds much more, so the number and width of roads has been significantly reduced. Everything is much greener. Wind, water and solar energy is widespread and can be produced and stored in sufficient quantities. Coal-fired power plants have been largely abolished and nuclear power has not been developed further. Heating has been reduced to a reasonable level in relation to oil and gas because these options have been significantly improved and produce even fewer emissions. People live much more with each other than against each other. The economy is still doing well because less unnecessary things are produced and goods last much longer and can even be repaired. Agriculture produces in reasonable quantities without doing so in places where, for example, water is not available in sufficient quantities for plants, people and animals.
