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?

2040 Plaan A
2040. Europeans have recognised that our differences are one of Europe's greatest values and that they need a united commitment. That the culture and self-existence of every small fragment of the people are just as invaluable as those of the great ones, whether they have taken root on an Aegean island or in the Lapland tundra buried in castles. This is not some woke wishful thinking, but a conclusion arising from the thermodynamics of living systems. London and Paris have got rid of the illusion that they could still function as independent geopolitical forces on the back of the vanishing aftermath of their lost empires and work creatively together in the common interest of the continent. A workable balance has been found between national interests and the common geopolitical interest, underpinned by a faster decision-making mechanism. Europe is a member of NATO as a whole autonomous bloc and is able to defend its interests regardless of its non-continental allies. Ukraine is a member of NATO and the European Union. Europe needs a strong and self-reliant Africa. In cooperation with African countries and the African Union, their educational and scientific capacities and their economic performance have developed sufficiently so that the accompanying emancipation of women and changes in family models have created the conditions for the pressure of mass emigration to subside. Well, I guess we'll keep looking.

Het belang van vegetarisme.
My specific theme is vegetarianism. I hope that in 20 years' time it will no longer be possible to believe that animals were slaughtered to feed people 20 years ago. I am 73 years old and since 6 years vegetarian and I notice that especially the people of my age are not open to plant-based food. However, eating meat is very bad for inflammation in our body, this has already been confirmed to me by countless doctors and specialists. Switching to vegetarianism is not only important to reduce animal suffering but also very important to save water. The cultivation of cereals, which now mainly serves to feed cattle, can then also be used for human consumption. The climate debate should also revolve around this.

Peace
In the past years, people have been caring deeply about peace and good relationships between all countries. No countries are at war and the disagreements made by politicians are not fought through, but talked through meaningful conversations that make both parties happy in the end.

Er Danmark som på mine bedsteforældres tid
A 2040 where different peoples have returned to their place of origin. A Denmark, a Europe without Islamist terror and crowds driven by asylum seekers. Knife attacks by rejected asylum seekers are no longer everyday news. A country where we live safely as when my grandparents were my age. Where we have money for welfare, where we have money for the elderly.
