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?

Leben ohne Ehrgeiz und Veränderung
I think that by 2040 little will change in the life of humanity. How little has changed in the last 15 years. There are too many different but equally strong groups and so we find ourselves in a situation where everyone pulls in their direction, but we end up stepping on the spot. People are too busy with political news. Reading news and contentless discussions robs people of the time to actually create something. It also costs energy to be upset about yourself or your environment. Most people are ultimately satisfied with what is happening and do not feel the power to change. Moreover, disruptions are subject to strong state control – not directly, but indirectly – as it is difficult to distinguish between private and regulated activities. Due to the variety of regulations, living without consultants is not possible, and consultants must be paid. There is no reason to wait for change. We will continue to live in the illusion of freedom, although only money can provide this freedom if man has appropriate claims and ambitions.

The world is changing, Putin and Trump are dead and the world is a more peaceful place. There is more room to spend the global economy on taking care of the world's citizens. One day, all the politicians woke up and agreed that they had to do something good. The good thing was to make sure that children from birth to adulthood were safe, healthy and happy so that we wouldn't have wars and poverty in the future. It was decided that children should grow up with closeness and much more ecology. There would be time to be a child, play in nature, see your family and experience the world with them. There was time for sick days, which meant that far fewer people in the world became ill. Schools had much smaller classes and much better facilities with much more nature. There was a focus on immersion in themes where children could excel in their strengths. When the children became teenagers and had learned to take care of nature and each other, we saw a much greater diversity in the education system so that we as a country could better handle all tasks with our citizens. These now young people were proud and inclusive. They knew that when you paid attention and took your time, things turned out well. And in that way, the world became a better place. Hopefully!

The morning dawned with sunlight breaking through the glass dome that surrounded the Eco-City. I woke up in my zero-energy apartment and watched the drones go to work maintaining the city's gardens. The window of my room looked out onto vertical greenhouses growing fresh fruit and vegetables right in the centre of the city, providing healthy food for the residents. After breakfast, I went to my job at the European Innovation Centre. My route took me through green parks. In the afternoon, I attended the opening of an exhibition showcasing the latest technologies to help combat climate change. I was proud that my team had developed a new energy storage solution that made solar and wind energy even more efficient. The evening came with a town festival where people gathered to enjoy local art, music and gastronomy. I stood under the starlit sky and was happy to live in a world where people have achieved a balance with nature and technology. The world is finally at peace and harmony between peoples.
