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 2040 I would like to have as a main concern to have achieved equality among all people at least in terms of human rights. In a second phase I would like to see economic equality and a reduction in the wealth gap together with unemployment rates across Europe. More consideration should be given to animal rights and the world should have become a safer place for everyone overall!

In 2040, countries show solidarity with each other and people live well. The countries of Europe solve their problems peacefully and civilly through debate and communication. They don't always agree, but they've learned that if everyone gives in a little, it's beneficial. As there is dialogue, there are no wars and populations are richer. They have more economic power. People saw how the rulers behaved towards each other, with solidarity and without hatred, and they followed suit. People became less racist and more supportive of each other. This made people happier and richer. Richer monetarily because there was help between them and happier because there was no hatred or envy or petty intrigue to haunt their days.

Let us imagine that I am in 2040, and that I live in a future characterised by sustainability, balance and social justice. A topic that for me would be crucial for improvement is climate change and the way in which society uses energy and natural resources. Ideally, in 2040, the world would certainly become rapidly decarbonised. The green and renewable energy market would be dominant, and fossil fuels would certainly be eliminated. Solar panels, wind turbines and other clean energy technologies would be widely available and standard in everyday life. Buildings would be flooded with green, with smart systems for recycling, efficient use of water and minimising waste. Transport would be 100% electric, and public transport would be efficient and accessible. Self-driving cars and other technologies would enable a freer human protocol, reducing congestion and pollution. People would live in buildings that are designed to offer a high quality of life, with an emphasis on cycle parking, pedestrian zones and smart buildings that use a minimum amount of energy. The society would be less divided, with an emphasis on justice, social justice and access to education and health care for all. The health and well-being of the eaters would not only be focused on physical health, but there would also be more efforts to initiate mental health, social and emotional support. This future would be marked by people's connection with nature and interpersonal honesty, and by the development of technologies that do not take into account the environment. The key promise would be to educate all of us about the importance of a sustainable life, where we would actively work to reduce our negative impact on the planet, or to improve inter-human relations in a global society.

Of course I would like the future to be better like everyone else, but I feel like it's going to get worse. Anyway, I would like there to be freedom in all its forms. That is, all people to feel equal and do what they like and if others are involved always with consent, freedom of speech and press where there is free and objective journalism. It goes without saying that there should be no wars. No countries and by extension people subservient to other countries either directly or indirectly related to economy, standard of living etc. I believe that in this way people would be happier and there would not be all this anthropophagy. Most people would have equal opportunities and young people would dream without any fear and hesitation.
