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?

Like it was
I want to live in a future where people will be more kind, grow their own food and treat each other as brothers abd sister. There will be no classes, we will all be equally rich and if anyone would do anything to oppose that, s/he will be send to the space. Everyone will have jobs. No more homeless people and robots will help us in making that change cause,sadly, human nature is always corrupting. I would also raise some wild animals to look after for every human. We will live one with the nature and pollution will be on the lowest.

Den v roce 2050
Ema woke up in the quiet bedroom of her smart house. The windows automatically dimmed to keep out the morning sun, and the holographic assistant told her it was time to get up. She had an important meeting today - her first day at her new job as Sustainable Innovation Coordinator. The world had changed since 2025. After the global energy crisis, humanity had finally come together and invested in renewable energy. Fossil fuels were a thing of the past, and every city had its vertical farms to supply the population. While the climate crisis was not completely solved, people learned to live more sustainably. Ema went out and got into an autonomous solar vehicle. With a universal basic income, no one had to choose between survival and personal development. Technology served people, not corporations. She watched the city with a smile - full of green, clean air, and people who finally had time to live, not just survive.

Evropa
A strong and economically stable Europe. Safe, free of the free-riders who suck it dry and abuse its softness, ignoring not only morals but laws, stealing, murdering and raping. And by that I mean Arab economic migrants specifically. So that Europe can compete with Russia and America. A Europe with a strong and self-sufficient army, without nonsense like regulations on what butter or rum should be called. And where one is not afraid to speak one's mind and not be corrected when one uses only 3 genders and only recognizes the biological sexes. So that the European Parliament can be useful and not just a newsagent's shop where people blather on and receive fat bonuses.

Města v rovnováze s přírodním světem
The sun slowly rises over Prague, its rays reflecting off the green roofs of buildings covered with solar panels and gardens. I wake up in my smart home, which automatically optimises temperature and air quality based on my needs. The clothes I wear are made from biodegradable materials, designed to be easily recycled when worn. On my way to work, I ride in an autonomous hydrogen bus that moves quietly through traffic-free streets. By 2035, stringent measures to limit emissions have been introduced across the EU, and massive investment in renewable energy has transformed cities into self-sufficient ecosystems. Today, I'm free to take a short trip - a hyperloop will take me to Berlin in 30 minutes. Travelling between European capitals is now cheap, green and accessible to all. I think about how much the world has changed in the last 25 years: the climate crisis has forced humanity to act, technology has brought solutions and we have finally found a balance between progress and nature.
