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?

Parks statt Parkplätze
In 2040, people have finally realized how important it is for everyone to protect the climate. There has been a real rethink in transport planning and cars are no longer the main means of transportation. Cities are following the concept of short distances and alternative means of transportation, such as cable cars, have become established. As a result, the quality of life has also improved enormously. Instead of parking lots, there are now green spaces and water areas that make spending time in the city more pleasant.

Schöne neue Welt
Getting up. When I got out of bed, the coffee machine switched itself on and made two cups of fresh coffee. Shortly after that, the oven starts because my breakfast rolls are ready. After breakfast, my closet suggests what I should wear today. It takes into account the weather forecast that it has retrieved from the Internet. I listen to news about the areas that interest me on the loudspeakers in my apartment. I can change the preselection at any time, but the AI registers how I react to the individual items, recognizes my interests and adjusts the selection of items accordingly. Then the work begins. I sit in a virtual open-plan office and can interact with all my colleagues via my VR glasses. Individual work performance is assessed, taking into account age and current state of health, and the result is displayed with a signal. Green means that performance is above expectations, yellow indicates average and red means that work performance is below average and overtime is therefore required to complete the usual workload.

Demokrati och självtillit
Democracy and self-reliance. My main wish is that all countries that are now ruled by either relgious or warmongering autocrats would disappear and all countries would experience democracy. Locally, that Finns would be better at selling their products abroad and that those with financial means would invest in their own country.

Demokrati och fred
A better world for all people and a world that only evolves for the better all the time. Democracy, human rights, social justice and peace throughout the world. Children's rights are respected in all countries, women have the same rights as men, and the strong take care of the weak in society. We take care of our planet and respect each other's differences. No corrupt politicians and dictators. Smaller gaps between rich and poor. We find solutions to problems so that all people have the absolute best conditions to thrive.
