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?

I look out the window. There are no cars on the street, they haven't been around for a long time, but laughing children are playing among green plants. The cars park in the garage and at the push of a button I can call them to me if I need one of the collection cars. But that is rarely the case. The U7 takes me wherever I want to go. Fast and comfortable. And why drive forever when everything I need is nearby? I run errands around the corner. For a long time you no longer have to shop impersonally on the Internet for simple things, but can personally get simple things around the corner again. Personal and fast. Admittedly, there isn't the widest choice, but for that too. All you need is around the corner and the saved time I spend with friends meeting on the street where everything is green. Street, what's that word? That hasn't been right for a long time. I have to correct myself, I meet on the green path in front of the house.

In the year 2040, the citizens of Germany are finally satisfied again. You look at smiling faces, whether black or white. The equality of every human being is once again in the first place, everyone is accepted as he is. A large part of the migrants have adapted to the new conditions, in the form of a new culture, respected them and even found work.

I imagine a safer future for everyone, more security, no longer afraid to leave the house without being attacked or bothered for anything and everything. Being able to count on others if you have a problem, a difficulty, not feeling left out and finding comfort, listening to people, institutions, establishments. Living in harmony with our neighbors, no longer making a difference, rebuilding solid, lasting ties with our neighbors and family. Respecting others in every way, recreating inter-generational links and flourishing in a community with the support of others, without judgement or discrimination.

It's January 1, 2040, we're finally out of the European Union, on November 17, 2039, France voted 100% for FRANCEIXIST, an all-time record, 0% abstention. We're thrilled to be back with our Francs, our purchasing power, the teenagers are having a hard time getting by with the Franc, but for us old-timers what happiness, we can eat bread, meat and cheese again, The construction industry is hiring like crazy, future workers are being trained on the job, and the job market is flourishing in every field. We've managed to get rid of AI. France is finally controlling the flow of immigrants, and doing so wisely, because in certain professions we don't have enough people. We give them a temporary residence permit, and pay their pensions and family unemployment benefits. They are housed in ecological residences close to their place of work. The justice system has sentencing facilities, and the death penalty has been abolished, so there's no recidivism. But justice is extremely firm, and delinquency, weapons, burglary and attacks on people are extremely rare.
