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?

A wonderful world
I would like a world where origins and skin colour are no longer problems. Where everyone can achieve great studies and do whatever job they would like to do. A world where children and women feel safe. Where religion is no longer a cause of war. A world where people no longer fight for authority, nor glory. A world where we are all aware of the environmental situation.

Finalmente un Europa unita
As we talk nowadays about the problems in Europe,the lack of unity common strategies and diminishing importance in the world,I hope that in 2040 we will finally find a union,where there are no longer individual states,but we will have a continent modeled after the United States,where we will have a single parliament,and we will all vote together to elect it.We will all have the same laws,fewer politicians,and a more streamlined and efficient system,where the best politicians from each country can run for office. In this way,we will be able to compete with world powers and emerging powers. Today it seems difficult to achieve,but I believe it is the only way we can look to the future with hope. Of course,I hope that this will happen long before 2040,and that in those years we will remember the difficulties of today,which made us unite and complete the European project.

Jutro 2040
The sun was just rising over Paris, or the castle had been awake for several Saturdays. People were quietly shaking floating capsules, and pedestrian zones were covered with intelligent pavements that bought energy from the stride of the proles. It was the 10th of March 2040, and Europe had become a continent of sustainability and technological harmony. I woke up in my home in Amsterdam, where the walls were changing the struggle for my position. Jutarnju kavu pripremila mi je kućna AI asistentica Mira, koja je već znala da chcesz dupli espresso. At the business, in the renewable energy laboratory, we were working on a new solar power system that could provide security for even the smallest rural communities.I travelled to Brussels for the European Summit on the Hyperloop superfast train. Since fossil-fuel aircraft have been banned, such journeys have become faster, cleaner and more affordable. The meeting was devoted to the new law on the rights of humanoid robots - an issue that was as important as people's rights.While I was in the kitchen in the evening, I looked at the hologram messages. The front page celebrated a new development: Europe has become the first continent with a plunging circular economy, where nothing is lost but everything is regained. I thought: maybe the future is not a dystopia after all, but a world that we have built together - a world where science, ecology and humanity go hand in hand.
