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?

UTOPÍA
I would like the future to be green. The seas were clean and filled again with seahorses and seaweed. That the thaw had stopped and our seas and animals were not in danger but happy. That our forests were lush and green. That it rained so that it did not create danger and only filled our fields with fruits. That people were more empathetic and understood that skin color does not force us to have first- and second-class citizens in our society. That our sons and daughters had a future, that is, decent work and decent housing, quality public education and quality public services and public health with enough money and space to be able to serve all citizens. Let men stop seeing women as feminazis and respect us and see us as equals. End prostitution and the men who feed this kind of savagery.

Oh Gott, wo gehts hin???
Drive from the center of Germany, from Spessart, towards Italy to South Tyrol. After the driveway on the A3 I join the autonomous system and enter exit "Tegernsee". With a cruising speed of 120km/h, we were able to enjoy the journey relaxed with coffee, entertainment and browsing literature from the on-board computer. In the Bräustüberl, the only restaurant in the wider area with inn tradition of the "good old times" (barbecue, service, conviviality and home cooking) we indulged in this pearl of the past for an adjusted price of 40 Bitcoins. With the Alpen Travel we were transported via the Brenner to Vipiteno, where we were accompanied by the rangers of the Alpine world to our destination. After recording all data and networking our plans with comparison with the authority, we were able to start our tour, which was given to us by the South Tyrolean Travel Agency. The time window of the tour we have selected with the status "Comfortable, without incline level5 (KM / h 3.2km). Accommodation must be adhered to, the deviation of the route is not desired / allowed and will be severely punished. The consumption of food and drinks is checked via the travel system and documented in the final invoice and forwarded to the health office and the health insurance company concerned. Happy and with a controlled pulse or, blood pressure, we arrive at home after 8 days. My children feel even more happiness as we descend into our very old basement, listen to music from Beatles and Stones from the turntable and we talk, laugh, funny, critical and funny and honest with each other free from all surveillance:

Europa et fyrtårn for verden
It's a day where I can say what I want when I want without threats of abuse. It is a day where I can freely choose between good and healthy foods and products and where I live in peace and quiet. At the same time, it is a day where I can be confident that the information I get in the media is objective and free of bias to a greater extent. And it is a life where the future is secured for future generations in terms of peace, sustainability and prosperity.

Η Νέα μας Αθήνα.
Andreas woke up with the solar dawn that was bathing his city, New Athens. The streets were full of trees that cleaned the air, and the self-driving buses were running on clean energy. The world was moving quietly, no noise from internal combustion engines, these were abolished in 2035. Everyday life has changed drastically since 2025. Europe, united more than ever, had invested in smart cities, green technologies and universal education. The economy was now based on the circular economy, where nothing was wasted. Leonidas connected to his virtual office through his neural interface. Most workers worked remotely, reducing commuting. His day went on creatively, until he met friends in an aerial park, where flying drones served refreshments. Europe in 2050 was a place where technology and nature coexisted, and man enjoyed life without harming the planet.
