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?

Was stelle ich mit meiner Freizeit an?
I discuss the weekly program with my computer and we decide to go on a round trip during the week and play the best golf courses in the area. While I am at the breakfast table, which is also a screen, still assembling the utensils that the robot should bring out of the box and pack for me, the car is already supplied by the computer with the necessary routes and the cargo, the computer reserves for me the accommodations and the leisure activities. While driving, the car drives me independently to the destination, I can look at the world news in peace and browse the culinary offer of my destinations, check the hotel reservations of my computer and maybe change. Particularly important are the reservations of the flying, self-controlled helicopters, which let me "fly" and explore the area. I'm sure I'll get information on which of my friends and acquaintances are nearby. This will be a great week for sure!

Indietro nel futuro
March 2040. It's not cold, the weather is mild, dry and cool, it's spring! Tour the streets of a green city, low houses, well-kept flower beds and parks, but also meadows and woods in lontantanza; people smile, with a serene, satisfied air, no trace of anxiety. Mi immagino un orrore alla "Macchina del tempo", la sera con l'oscurità queste anime candide cammineranno come agnelli verso il loro destino, cibo per orrendi mostri del sottosuolo (o sottosopra) E invece no, scopro che semplicemente l'umanità pare avere trovato un equilibrio, dopo aver corso sfrenatamente verso il baratro dello sconvolgimento climatico, dopo un decennio di politiche contraddittorie, tra governi negazionisti e guerrafondai che hanno esaurito totalmente le risorse naturali del pianeta in nome del potere e del diritto al benessere, e altri pseudoambientalisti che hanno quasi provocato l'estinzione di migliaia di razze animali da allevamento e varietà colturali antiche con pratiche agricole intensive e aggressive, tentando invano di sconfiggere la fame nel mondo .... ora tutto è tranquillo. The decimated humanity, forced to a thousand renunciations after an indigestion of hatred and unbridled well-being has understood the lesson. It started from scratch, but not really: Earth is now repaying with new resources, new elements, new abundance. Now I can go home.

Toekomst van hoop
I hope for a future with accessible services for all citizens and clear rules regarding housing and migration. I hope for all world countries to join a collective vowing to ensure that there will never be war again. I hope for freedom to be who you are, but clear and concrete guidelines, such as having two genders. I hope for accessibility to culture and the arts and mandatory artistic classes in schools.

Vi kan!
År 2040, om 15 år, har världen hittat en stabilitet inom fredsområdet. Både inom och utom Europa samarbetar man för att inga områden längre ska hotas av krig. Parallellt med detta har världens alla länder tagit krafttag för att påverka jordens klimat och miljö i rätt riktning. En riktning som inte enbart styrs med ekonomiska intressen i förgrunden. Inom Sveriges egna gränser får välfärdssamhället för första gången på flera decennier ett uppsving, så att inte bara anslag ökas, utan även att kvaliten inom verksamheterna blir bättre genom kloka beslut. Människors tro på framtiden stärks och oberoende undersökningar att jorden går åt rätt håll.
