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?

Cuando ya solo importemos nosotros.
In this year I would like that technology, artificial intelligence, robotics and neurisciences have made people's work unnecessary and that we can devote as much time as possible in human relationships, without the conditioning of money. That society be free and that freedom be respected and respected by all human beings.

2040 : this figure seems a long way off, but it is only 15 years from now! What were we doing 15 years ago: in 2010? Between that date and today there is more talk about artificial intelligence, climate, electric cars. In 15 years, will we have made more effort to green our cities and build buildings that are consistent with the climate? It seems difficult to change people’s mindsets – especially when new buildings emerge from the ground without heat and cold insulation systems! I must say that I hope that humans will act faster and less slow down because there is no profit. I dream of plants in places where trees were torn off a few years ago in favor of slabs, etc. I dream of rechargeable and non-disposable batteries that will pollute the planet even more I dream of a decent income for everyone, and a decent roof. I dream of a humanity that respects others on all levels.

Minu linn ja selle elanikud
In 2040, my hometown and its inhabitants have changed. It has been concluded that screen addiction is still a serious addiction and there are more and more active attempts to move out of the online world in everyday activities. More community events and hobby groups are taking place, which has led to an increased interest in well-organised public spaces, and more and more sports and playgrounds are being built in the city, as well as opportunities to spend time indoors together, especially during cooler weather. It's a rare thing on the street that someone is on the phone. Residents increasingly value high-quality urban space and many cycle tracks and roads have been built. Sustainability is an important value - repair workshops and handicraft circles are a common phenomenon, clothes are preferred to be bought second-hand or made by themselves. There is no more separate packaging-free or "best before" grocery stores, but as a normal part of chain stores, there is as much packaging-free trading as possible, and there is a separate aisle for things that lose their shelf life. It has become normal to travel by bus, bicycle or foot, because the transport connections are very good, and in winter, light traffic can be reached everywhere, walking and cycling paths are opened first. There are essentially no vacant or unmaintained plots of land in the heart of the city and adjacent areas - as many historical sites as possible have been restored, unused sites have been taken into use. Priority will be given to densely populated areas and their bonuses. The banks of the Emajõgi River are in order and it is possible to walk along them for a long time throughout the city. The community is confident and warm, those in need always find support and are interested in each other's well-being even when they don't really know each other.

Barn och pensionärer.
I would like to see 2040 bet on the schools. There should be staff so that all children who need help can have a good day at school. They spend so much time in school and unfortunately many children do not feel well during school hours unfortunately. Then it will be spent on pensioners. In today's Sweden, there are too many poor pensioners. They've been working a whole life because when they can't work anymore they get to eat oatmeal 7 days a week. It is not a dignified life that awaits Sweden's many pensioners. After everything that has been with COVID and expensive loans, etc., we need a big investment in our pensioners. Sweden is good in many ways, but more equal wages between women and men would be a matter of course.
