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?

Sicherheit und Erziehung
I would like the migrants to accept us as we are. I have nothing against them living out their culture in return for them accepting ours. Criminals should finally be punished appropriately so that we can walk the streets as freely as we did a few years ago. Parents should not question every sentence but educate their children so that they can behave themselves and not ask the child what is right. I have to say that I love children, but their behavior leaves a lot to be desired.

Echte Demokratie, kein Gelaber
My wish for 2040 is that we will no longer be bossed around by such nobodies and whistles in Brussels or in national governments. Politics in the EU is increasingly degenerating into lobbyism and a self-service store. More direct democracy and not just a pretense of democracy. Security in the EU should be protected by external borders.

Bleak future
Sadly all of humanities efforts to battle climate change went unnoticed. The constant wars and new biologically engineered diseases wreacked havoc both on the economy and the environment. The global population started declining and the wealth inequality grew uncontrolled. Now only 0.01% of the population controlled all the resources and everyone else was considered slave labor. Some revolutions were instigated but sadly all of them failed due to the slaves fighting the technologically advanced weaponry of the elites with sticks.

We are smarter in 2040. After the corona crisis in 2019, we realized how important it was to be self-sufficient. So now, in 2040, agriculture has started to sprout up again around Denmark, a number of taxes have been removed to make it easier for farmers to sell their produce, and even restaurants have started to have their own kitchen gardens. And the healthcare sector has improved, not that taxes have gone up, on the contrary, but focus has been placed on ensuring that doctors' offices and hospitals have highly trained staff who actually treat patients, i.e. investigate what might be wrong with the patient, rather than just throwing panodils at them and hoping that the patient's problems go away. Because it really lagged in 2024-2025.
