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?

Miers – izglītība, ilgtspēja un vērtību cienīšana
First, peace. Peace across Europe, with an educated, positive and sustainable society that respects old values and strives for new ones. A Europe in which every person’s voice counts in society, regardless of their faith, orientation or financial situation. This is possible in a well-educated community, because it is important not only that the majority of society accepts the minority, but also that the minority does not shout with its slogans. Technological progress has been somewhat "braked down" to be no longer the same as now that worn-out electronics cannot actually be recycled, and that AI enters places where human creativity must prevail, rather than machine thinking.

Retour vers la nature
It will be a greener world where nature and animals regain their lost place over the centuries. Energy will be less polluting and global warming will be an old story. The four seasons will return to their place. Transport will be clean, non-polluting and non-noisy

In 2040, the Great War in Central Europe is finally over. Minor conflicts still continue. Things have become unmanageable because of the EU bureaucracy and NATO's inefficiency after the US left the alliance. Russia managed to carve up the lands up to Germany, which occupied its former lands in Poland. Daniha lost Greenland, which was taken by the US. However, Russia had to give up some territories in the Far East to China. The EU ceased to exist, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal closed their borders to refugees from Eastern and Central Europe. Refugees from Central Asia did decrease after the US nuclear strike on Iran.

By 2050, many things will change on a global, technological, social and economic level. There will be self-driving cars, drone deliveries, robotics in care and industry. The world population has reached 10 billion. There is a permanent base on the moon. Nuclear fusion as an energy source works. There are shortages of water, food and raw materials.
