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?

Europas fald
With the economic collapse of Germany in 2027 and its withdrawal from the economic union, France and Italy failed to contain the polarised political developments that divided European unity. During the European political turmoil, the Soviet Empire was re-created in Eastern Europe with the incorporation of the Baltic states, encouraged by Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, which had previously withdrawn from the NATO pact. The Nordic Union was founded as a counter-party to the failed Europe and the Soviet Union. The Union introduced the common Nordic currency, the Crown. Europe's subsequent collapse resulted in massive Chinese acquisitions of key utilities. Unemployment across Europe is high and climate change has led to large uncultivated areas in southern Europe, resulting in massive migrations to the north, where food and basic necessities are scarce. Political systems are undermined by corruption, so maintaining order is governed by cartels across countries. Hunger, lawlessness and chaos are the cause of frequent conflicts and civil war-like conditions that are politically exploited by the Soviets, who are constantly expanding their territory to the west!

A more just and equitable world, where we fight to avoid war, end poverty and hunger. Where the energies used are as clean as possible and much or most of the natural resources have been recovered and preserved.

De artificiële wereld
You wake up via an automatic alarm clock and at the same time your body temperature and blood pressure are measured . Your weight determines what you eat throughout the day. You travel with a vehicle that is powered by hydrogen. Global daytime temperatures have risen in Belgium and everyone must protect themselves against UV rays. All kinds of cattle in the meadows have disappeared and people usually eat vegetarian . The people usually greet each other via all kinds of applications on the smartphone. Social life has evolved into a digital encounter. The government follows every person in terms of health, movement and performance. All means of payment are digital, paper money is gone. Cybercrime remains the issue to be tackled.

Artificial intelligence will certainly be one of the key players in 2040, thanks to which you will be able to develop your abilities and communicate in every language with people from all over the world. Self-driving vehicles travel on roads and streets, and flying drone taxis can quickly reach any corner of the world. Medicine has certainly invented a cure for cancer, and one might think that this chronic disease has been forgotten. hope is that wars have disappeared and more children are born, because everyday problems are solved by the solutions and variants invented by artificial intelligence.
