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?

J'ai beaucoup rêvé cette nuit.
I'm still alive in 2040. Despite my old age, despite my heart failure and my multiple frailties. Thanks to advances in gene therapy in particular. The world has changed, in a much more favorable sense than I could have imagined in 2025. The dictatorial excesses that we saw then multiply, to the point of resigning themselves to the inevitable, the third world war, have one after the other disappeared in five years: Putin was swept away in Russia, Trump was impeached for proven mental illness, and new early elections brought more reasonable people back to power, Xi was overthrown in China, and the new leaders instituted true democracy in this huge country, Milei resigned and entered the convent... We build more vertical cities, healthier, accessible to all, and the multiple public transport, electric and hydrogen, almost free, circulate without noise throughout the territory... But it is probably time for me to wake up: I had to force it on the chamomile last night.

Mieux-vivre ensemble, avec la planète et le progrès
In 2040, I would like the future to be better in terms of inclusion and to live better together with people but also the planet. Progress is really useful to people without being a brake or a threat. I would like people no longer to be so divided about politics and society by remembering that we are all the same and that we are all human beings above all else. I would like minorities to be accepted and no longer discriminated against. I would like the disability to be better taken into account so that people are more helped in order to maintain at best in the semblance of normal life. I would like a better health system with really useful consultations of necessary length, reducing expectations and with diagnoses that arrive faster. Finally, I would like AI to be perfectly controlled and regulated so that they are no longer a threat regarding fake news or the hijacking of images that could only concern stars. I also want AI to be an ally, not a substitute for humans. It must also not make teaching obsolete and solve the problem that students do their homework with, by foolishly copying and learning nothing. Also, the planet is protected and progress does not encroach on it because we will have realized that it is also a matter of national security, health and that it is a cost not to protect it (natural disaster, insurance that increases and that no longer protects against these disasters).

Taxes will not exist, a way will be found to meet the needs of the community in other ways. Health care will be freely available to everyone without waiting in line for weeks or months. Travel will be shorter, allowing people to visit the world. The work week will be 4 days and the weekend will be 3 days, so that workers will have time for family life. All official matters will be able to be handled remotely. Programs will be implemented, making free training available to everyone.

For the future, I hope that people will have much more respect for nature and animals, that a beautiful coexistence is possible without the slaughter and killing of animals. I imagine a beautiful flower meadow surrounded by trees and in the middle many many animals that can live peacefully and without fear. And above all, people are happy with this and realize that meat consumption is not necessary. Animals should no longer have to suffer because of money and certain medicines. Not even in poor countries.
