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?

Ilus oled, meie Maa
All wars ended and all wars ended. The entire military industry was reprogrammed to produce life-saving machinery. People of different skin colours and religions live side by side and respect each other. The number of children is consciously limited so that there is a balance in the world. People realized they had a HOME to take care of. The big cities began to empty out, and people went to live in the countryside creating communities. Robots and the diseased brain (AI) were dismantled. There are no stripes in the sky and nature was helped to recover. Potential for a voluminous source of energy was ‘disguised’ and ugly windmills were removed from the terrain. The production and over-fertilisation of GMOs was stopped and the conversion to natural agriculture was carried out. Deforestation for oil palms was stopped and forest parcels were restored. The play of God and the "making without" were stopped. Elections are fair and governments really take care of their people, not take advantage of benefits, money and opportunities. All biolaboratories ‘playing’ with viruses, bacteria and fungi, as well as human and animal testing facilities, were abolished. People understood the harmfulness of drugs and alcohol, and live a temperate life, thanks to which healthy children are born. The children do not believe that we were ever wanted to be chipped, and we were constantly monitored by cameras.

Europa - eine griechische Göttin
The celebrations for and on 1 May 2040 in the former EU countries are characterised by cheerfulness, exuberance, expressions of freedom and independence. The abolition of excessive bureaucracy, caused by a self-serving, bloated bureaucracy, promises a future of reshaping Europe. Nation-statehood is no longer branded and defamed, people have realized that gangling, predetermined ideologies and restriction of opinion were counterproductive to the prosperous development of their countries. National consciousness is no longer branded as right-wing populism. The borders within Europe are controlled under the responsibility of the countries themselves, as well as immigration from non-European countries, without obligation and coercion by the majority of former bodies in Brussels. A European defence alliance, launched by the countries as a counterpart to NATO, guarantees and demonstrates military strength against potential aggressors. A constitution, created and signed by all members, with regard to mutual relations between economic and social components, is the basis of a strong, independent and self-confident Europe, which is not influenced by any non-European power.

A Future of Sustainable Cities in 2040
In 2040, European cities have transformed into models of sustainability and innovation. Gone are the days of traffic congestion and air pollution—thanks to a fully electrified and AI-managed transport system, streets are now shared by autonomous electric shuttles, cyclists, and pedestrians. Green roofs and vertical farms cover buildings, providing fresh food for local communities while purifying the air. The energy crisis of the 2020s led to a major shift in the 2030s: cities now rely entirely on renewable energy, with solar panels, wind farms, and fusion power supplying homes and industries. Waste is almost nonexistent—advanced recycling and circular economy policies ensure that everything is reused. Education and work have also evolved. With automation handling repetitive tasks, people focus on creativity, research, and social well-being. The workweek has been reduced to 20 hours, allowing more time for leisure, learning, and community engagement. Most importantly, people are happier. The balance between technology, nature, and society has created a Europe that is not only advanced but also deeply human-centered.
