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?

Blaginja sveta -čisti zrak,voda, morje, zdrav prst zemlje
Nature is clean. We have healthy air, clean water, rivers that flow freely without dams, healthy soil for growing crops, and everything grows without toxic chemicals. Animals are no longer staked to eat. We all have a home and a job, and everyone is doing what they love and developing their talents.This future no longer has weapons of war to fight wars.Soldiers are trained in peace negotiations for justice and the good of all, helping others who are worse off than others...

NO FUTURE
Ideally, we'd like to go back to the post-war years, when everything was (more or less) fine; people were coming out of a hard ordeal and wanted to forget and be happy. Today, money and religion have corrupted everything, we're no longer allowed to laugh, we're governed by ayatollahs and incompetents who destroy everything. We can no longer have fun, there's no more education, violence prevails, there's no more intelligence except AI/AI, which ends up destroying everything. So-called "social" networks (never has a name been so badly worn) are nothing but an outpouring of bile and hatred. Even the USA, once a symbol of freedom, is now in the hands of two mad dictators... the world is doomed.

Where we're at
It's now 2040 and so much has changed since 15 years ago in 2025. Transport has changed so much as there are no longer any petrol or diesel cars, electric is the only option fuel option available since 2035. Another visible change is the abolition of landline telephones, all communication is through mobile networks and most people watch television on portable devices, the concept of the television set in the corner is long forgotten. The workplace has also been transformed with the increase in the amount of hybrid working and full time home working supported by the increase in data centres and the reducing cost of technology, storage and proliferation of AI world-wide.

Drugačna prihodnost
We used to go to school, but now it's unthinkable because we are home-schooled. Our teacher is artificial intelligence. We don't know cars anymore, now we go by air and we can travel 30km in 10 minutes. Slow trains at 150km/h are no more, now we drive at a minimum of 300km/h. There are no longer live employees in petrol stations and local restaurants, there are robots and self-service checkouts. There is a lack of emotional intelligence. People are emotionless everyone is in a hurry.. life used to be nicer, and children used to play outside now I don't see any anymore.
