OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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?

Světlá budoucnost
I can imagine that there will be great advances in medicine. There is a non-invasive cure for cancer, medicine is able to cure all disabled people with physical disabilities and visual impairments. Small chips will monitor our health and alert us when something goes wrong. At the same time, they will be able to provide treatment. Doctors will only deal with really urgent cases and those that advanced robotics and artificial intelligence cannot solve. There will be rocket development in this area, and AI will be a great help in diagnostics and treatment in the health field. Companies from all over the world will participate in its development. Everything in medicine will be much more advanced and effective. Wheelchairs will be able to walk again. Euthanasia is finally enacted in the Czech Republic, many people are waiting for it with hope. Even an animal has a right not to suffer when there is no hope of a cure, and hopefully in the future we will too. Eye transplants will be introduced so that even the blind can function normally in society and find regular work, because they do not get this opportunity.

There are no more fossil fuels used in the world. Pesticides have finally disappeared. AI is at the service of humans and facilitates the very early detection of diseases. Dictatorships have been banned as well as wars. Women have won equality with men.

Mental Health freedom
In 2040, I imagine a world where mental health is no longer a taboo subject, but rather an integral part of daily life. Over the past two decades, society has shifted from seeing mental health as a personal burden to recognizing it as a collective responsibility. Access to mental health care has become universal, and everyone—from children to the elderly—receives support as easily as they would for any physical ailment. Therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals are now embedded in schools, workplaces, and communities. Digital platforms have evolved into fully personalized care systems, offering real-time support with AI-driven tools that help people track their emotional well-being. There’s no more stigma attached to seeking help, and in fact, emotional wellness is seen as a key pillar of personal success, just as much as physical health. In this future, people of all backgrounds feel empowered to speak openly about their struggles, knowing that their mental health is valued and prioritized. The result is a more empathetic and resilient society, where people not only survive, but thrive emotionally. This world feels connected, supportive, and hopeful—no longer isolated by mental health challenges, but united in caring for each other’s minds as much as their bodies.

Ihmiskunnan täydelliseen tuhoon
There was an explosion in the beginning. The sound and the pressure wave were something I couldn't describe. We were sitting outside in the garden. We understood that the end of mankind had begun. Telephones, computers; Everybody's mute. The electricity didn't work either. There was no movement anywhere; No people, no cars, no animals, nothing. We heard something about the old radiator radio. Strange clicks, ticking: Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tu Yeah, that's right. Who would save our souls? No one, no one.
