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?

Větší rozdíl mezi ekonomickými třídami
I have 2 children and in 15 years they will be 18 and 21, basically they will be adults, but I reckon that if they don't study abroad they will live here. I hope that by then technology will have moved on again and everything will be even easier and more connected. That even if they live abroad, contact will be possible without any problem. I hope that many of the diseases that threaten us now will be completely eradicated thanks to vaccines on the decline, I expect cancer to become a common disease. I think there will be a greater disparity between the economic classes and we, as the upper middle class, will be worse off overall, but since we already own property and will eventually get more from family, I reckon we will actually be better off overall, but worse off on a day to day basis. The biggest difference will be in the top end, which will be even better off, and the bottom end, which unfortunately will be even worse off.

Vesmír je na dosah
The year is 2040. There are several billion people in the world, because a cure for longevity has been found. But you can travel to space, you can actually live there, and you can even choose a planet. Mars has people who like rocky "seas", Pluto has people who like fresh water and 100% oxygen. Scientists and doctors are going to Jupiter and trying to find a cure for cancer( it still hasn't been found yet, but it's well on its way). Well, those who like life on Earth stayed here. Cars are no longer just racing on the roads, but even in the sky, competing with planes and shuttles. Tourism is booming. Everybody wants to go to space.

2040: L’Europe réinventée

EU decided to finally stop self-destructing
European leadership finally started prioritising European citizens over foreigners and corporate demands for cheap labour and stopped the mass uncontrolled migration, protecting European culture and values. The unelected bureaucrats of the EU commission stepped back and allowed for the nation members to actually govern themselves for the most part, and worked to guarantee the freedoms of the citizens and a high standard of living in the union instead. Finally, to tackle the declining birthrates, traditional family values were promoted and incentives given to young Europeans to start families and create safe environment for the next generation to be raised.
