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?

The positive alternative is a scenario where everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution. Instead, machines do most of the work for us, everyone gets a basic wage, so we can spend more free time and realise ourselves as free human beings.

15 years have passed, more castles have been overtaken by technology, and people are either dead or it is too late for humanity. The controllers of most companies and shops have been replaced by machines. Shopping centres are just servants and deserts. Nature is unrecognisable, or people are beginning to think that business cannot be replaced by a machine or a robot. This is a craft business for most. Some people are still living the same life, but some are in love with technology. The government has come to its senses and, at the end of a certain period, it has taken the old way of life back, but only the old way of life has been replaced by the machine.

My opinion
While I can't predict the future, I can share some trends and factors that may influence Europe's direction over the next 40 years: Demographic Changes: Europe's population is expected to age, leading to increased pressure on healthcare systems and pensions. Migration may play a role in balancing demographics, influencing workforce dynamics and cultural landscapes. Climate Change: Europe is likely to face significant challenges related to climate change, prompting greater investments in renewable energy and sustainable practices. Policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions may reshape economies and urban planning. Technology and Innovation: Advances in technology, including AI, automation, and biotechnology, could transform industry and daily life. Europe may focus on maintaining competitive edges in high-tech sectors while addressing ethical concerns around these technologies. Political Landscape: The political climate in Europe may continue to evolve, with populism and nationalist sentiments influencing policies. The strength and cohesion of the EU will likely be tested by economic disparities, migration issues, and geopolitical tensions. Geopolitical Dynamics: Europe's relationships with global powers like the US, China, and Russia will be important. Changes in alliances, trade agreements, and defense strategies will shape Europe's role in global affairs. Economic Development: Europe's economy may diversify further, with a focus on green technologies, digitalization, and resilience against global economic shifts. Regional economic disparities might lead to differing development paths within Europe. These trends suggest a complex future for Europe shaped by various interrelated factors. Monitoring current events and developments in these areas may offer better insights as time progresses.
