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?

Utopia
In 2040, the rest of the world will follow Europe in the uptake of renewable energy. Europe, for its part, will learn from Bhutan and focus not on economic growth but on increasing people's well-being and happiness. People are living more in commune-style housing and loneliness has been eradicated from the continent. People eat mainly vegetarian food and, due to the collapse in demand, animals can be raised ethically on small farms. The working week is four days a week and wealth is shared equally and fairly between all people.

Lev friskt och i frid
After several peace agreements, conflicts between several countries have subsided. Technology has advanced to the point where we are no longer destroying our environment. Clean water is available to 100% of Europeans, but so is clean air. People can travel and work freely within the EU. People are happy and content because all countries are equally well off. No one feels the need to flee their country. Children get free education. Food is organic and locally produced. People can travel across the world quickly with no negative impact on the environment. People are helpful. Because there are no major differences in quality of life, there is less hatred towards other ethnic groups and it is peaceful. No threat of war. Of course, there are still diseases and mental health problems. But research is better and so is understanding and treatment. The UN and the EU work well together. Working days are shorter and the quality of life has improved significantly. Violent crime has decreased due to improved quality of life for most people. Of course, there is still some bribery, but it has decreased. People are more accepting and curious about other cultures. Terrorist attacks are decreasing as technology and research make it easier to identify risk factors. Since education is easily accessible, disinformation is reduced.
