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?

I want a diocratic europe without neo-Nazis, without people who want power not for money but to make a difference. I want to see as much connection to public transport as possible, as few cars as possible in city centres. I want the protests to be repeated, so that Slovenia can finally get rid of Janez Jansa. That we succeed in limiting global warming. That it is easier for young people to get their first jobs and to get housing.

Continuing the trend of "all for nature conservation and animal welfare". The official line is to tackle climate change, which is the culprit for all changes, good and bad, that really have nothing to do with it. Local communities realise that cooperation is better than competition, but they don't know what that really means. What happens at global level is transferred to local level and the trends are expected to be the same - warming everywhere, weather extremes everywhere - which is not really the case. Instead of warming, it is colder, because there is the effect of 'cold water coming out of the radiator', which cools everything down.

In 2040, I think Europe has a stronger economy and is no longer seen as a continent stuck in the past. More jobs, less crime, less unnecessary immigration and a strong common belief that Europe can handle problems together and not rely on the US to support it all the time. I think we need to have a common defense budget and not make too many laws that make the work difficult for the member states. Environmental work should continue and the continent should take steps to catch up in technology development and not rely on Asia or America.

In 2050, the world has changed in ways that would have seemed like science fiction only a few decades ago. Green spaces have spiralled skywards, interspersed with urban skyscrapers that breathe with the pattern of artificial intelligence. Cities glowed at night in a bioluminescent landscape, replacing street lights with shimmering pathways that changed colour according to the mood of the people walking by, thanks to state-of-the-art biofeedback technology.
