OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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?

Instead of a short maternity mother, she could get a new job that is done from home to be with the child. Or he works part-time on a full-pay basis. In addition, bonuses and benefits for each subsequent child to boost the birth rate a little. The father would be a pillar of the family again. Children do not have to be condemned to spend their childhood in kindergarten. After that, the school system could prepare them for real life. They would learn the basic things necessary for the functioning of the household and the family. And later something from the profession that they are interested in and there is a real demand for it. At least 5 numbing subjects can be removed from regular classes because everything is available online (geography, history...) or the subject itself is unnecessary and boring to most children (musical, visual...). For 99% of things, one query to a chatgpt is enough, I can't imagine how much AI will progress in 15 years, mostly schooling is almost completely unnecessary. If the flow and similar tricks made by fools from children are banned, they could grow into relatively normal people who have a goal and purpose in life instead of just consuming air. They'd be paid at work, and they'd have time to rest. States would not fund all sorts of nonsense and would not absurdly print nonexistent money, we would turn more to the local community and self-sustainability. Pensions would not be needed, there could be some state social system that would allow pensioners to get everything free (up to a certain limit) instead of cash payments. They would live and work in smaller local communities. It's a pretty unrealistic scenario, because all those billions of dollars have to be washed away. There are no men of progress in us when greed and the desire for power reign.

Raggiungere l'immortalità
Technology has taken unexpected steps since 2025, today we can live 300 years with the appearance of a twenty-year-old, there is no need to work robots work and create economy for us. Teleportation is now a solid reality, the next step is to achieve immortality. We are almost eternal.

Utopia
We have a society where young people are free from the anxiety that characterised young people in 2025. There is still free education for everyone, it will. Our hospital system is more resourced and works more efficiently. It's enough time to take good care of the sick patients. The different therapists in the primary and secondary sector, as well as the municipal care staff, talk a lot and share information about the individual patient, so that no patient is lost in sectoral transitions or between therapists. It is a pleasure and a joy to live in a nursing home. There is peace in the world, and we no longer spend billions on war, gunpowder and bullets. We find that politicians who have really done something illegal are held accountable for their actions. For example, in the future they cannot be allowed to give orders for something where the legislation is not in place (think of the mink scandal under Covid). We can travel freely around the world without fear of political unrest, war and infection with serious diseases. All who can work, work according to their ability and contribute to society. There is no cheating on social funds. Corruption does not exist. Everyone has a fair standard of living. Workplaces are flexible in terms of making work/life balance work.

Zjednoczona Europa
It's 2040. Finally, Europe has become one, united State, in which there are no better or worse - every person has the right to shape his or her life in the best possible way. Borders have been abolished and all citizens can live anywhere. They live in peace, respecting the diversity and cultural diversity of the members of the United State. They feel spiritually richer due to the fact that people of different faiths, skin color or sexual preferences live next to each other. Thanks to the unification, Europe has become a strong country and of great importance on the international arena. Its citizens no longer have to tremble for their future and fear the aggression of their opponents. The absence of borders and the free market allowed for economic development. Because people live better lives, they can invest in the development of science and culture. Higher social awareness translates into care for the natural environment. The former "Green Deal" has ceased to be an empty slogan, and has become a signpost that guides people to preserve the biodiversity of our planet, improve the cleanliness of the earth, rivers and air. This is the new world we want to pass on to our children.
