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?

Skandinavien samlet igen for folket
Ahh what a wonderful morning I wake up fresh with the idea that Scandinavia is reunited , yes now we call the Swedes our brothers and sister people with pride in heart and the Norwegians our beautiful and warm cousins in the north . Our officials have become close and comradely with Swedish and Norwegian officials so there are discounts when traveling to each other's countries and then we eat more of each other's food goods so health increases for all good quality is the way forward

I am in 2040, I wake up and it is beautiful, the air of the planet is purified and the water I drink is pure and unpolluted. I consume less but what life is simpler since we humans have had the desire to make efforts to take care of our planet. I will do my shopping and everything is in bulk, there is no plastic at all, even for liquids have to bring our own containers, life is so beautiful that I feel reassured for the future of my children.

I would like Europe to join forces more so that it forms a strong force to other continents. Right now we are still strong enough to keep america and china out through regulation. But there will come a time when the tech giants will "shit" on that. To form a good bloc, countries need to cooperate more, not just fantasize and invent rules. Above all, it has to be done. Encourage business. Right now there are no big startups coming out of Europe. This has to change. In 2040, I hope we are on the right track.

In the year 2040, I hope above all that there will be peace all over the world and that we will act together for the benefit of humanity and nature and that all people and nations on earth will live together in peace and that there will be prosperity for all and that there will be as few armed conflicts as possible but that everyone will act together in diplomacy and wisdom. There will be no more internal combustion engines, only modern cars that move around with a kind of modern drive technology that works without internal combustion engines. In 2040, a lot of work will be done from home because it will no longer be necessary to go to work; instead, people will be able to do all the essential things from home and then spend the day with their families. In 2040, many things will be automated thanks to AI technology, which will have replaced the majority of human work by then so that people can devote themselves to their hobbies or other private wishes. Everyday life will be characterized above all by AI, but in the end humans will still be in control, checking and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. In the year 2040, mankind has succeeded in pushing back climate change as far as possible, partly due to the use of new AI technologies and, of course, with the help of modern protection systems, which above all protect natural landscapes and the oceans. There is absolutely no more plastic - everything is transported in special containers made of plant fibers or wood, for example, or eaten and drunk from them. There are also no more books, everything takes place in the digital world, so that paper can also be saved. More fruit and vegetables are grown and eaten and less meat. In the care sector, there are now modern home robots that support people in caring for the elderly throughout the day. In addition, cars no longer drive on the road below but move in the air above and fly around like spaceships. Mankind has also recognized the danger of nuclear weapons and has already begun to scrap all nuclear weapons on earth. In 2040, there will therefore only be a small number of nuclear weapons left, but they will no longer be used. The oceans are now plastic-free again and there are enough fish in the sea again. In addition, all harmful chemicals that damage or pollute the environment are now banned all over the world. Women now have the same rights as men, earn just as much as men and hold high-ranking positions in business, politics and society. In medicine, too, it has been possible to treat and eliminate all diseases through the use of state-of-the-art AI technology. And as mentioned earlier, wars will no longer be fought in the future, i.e. in 2040, but conflicts will be resolved politically through diplomacy. In 2040, the climate has largely recovered and temperatures are reasonably pleasant and bearable.
