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?

Vegāniskā diēta bez aizspriedumiem un visiem
I see pre-school, primary and secondary education institutions, as well as medical institutions, as being free from prejudices about the vegan diet. It is available, students and patients can eat wholesomely during the recovery period, because cooks are not limited to preparing poor food - not just boiled rice, pasta, potatoes, served with lettuce of leaves and some slices of tomato and cucumber. Cooks use a variety of products when cooking, including less used cereals, vegetables, and are also able to prepare delicious desserts. Over a period of several years, it would appear from various data that the vegan diet has a good effect on health, it would become a more frequent choice even for those who also eat meat and other products of animal origin.

Volare, fino a circa un secolo fa, era solo un'utopia!
Against all dystopias designed by the ruling classes and their state rulers, we foresee a simple utopia as much more concrete and achievable. We see the salvation of man and his living environment, in the constitution of Confederate communities and organized from the bottom up with representatives revocable at any time on the basis of assembly decision. We hope for a decentralization from the big metropolises towards the countryside and the creation of independent but coordinated agricultural communities, in which there is production of food and everything you need, such as clothing, furniture, etc. according to artisanal methods that promote individual creativity. The training and education of children and young people will take place according to methods agreed by the members of each community and will have as its purpose not only a mere professional specialization, but the complete formation of the character and peculiarities peculiar to each one. Industrial production will remain in urban centers and will be almost completely automated, requiring only a few hours of weekly work and the operation of unpaid worker technicians coming in rotation from the various agricultural communities. Industrial production will follow the directives and meet the needs decided and elaborated by the Confederate communities, and the factories will operate on self-produced solar energy on site, as well as that useful for the life of the municipalities, and cold fusion. Cities will be, thanks to decentralization in the countryside, decongested, both in the sense of population density and for a better quality of life. Weapons will be completely destroyed and their materials recycled for civilian use, because in a humanity without ruling classes and managed by the world population there will be no need to oppose anyone, but only willingness to cooperate, aware that for a happy life it is necessary to be constructive and not destructive. All this looms like a new Renaissance in which the inner and material, economic realization of each one is no longer subject to the logic of profit in money, but to personal and community growth, which will promote an exponential increase of talents, both in the scientific and in the artistic field, just as it happened during the Italian Renaissance. Each community will maintain the traditions and customs of its territory, as well as the nations, but there will be no more borders. Those who, despite the well-being so realized and widespread, should want to harm or in any way override the municipalities in order to restore an order based on violence and autocratic harassment of other human beings, would be immediately arrested and exiled to some uninhabited island lost in the oceans: Where no one needs to steal, since all goods will be available to everyone according to their real needs, crime has no reason to exist! Does this seem like a utopia to you?! But, is it not much more utopian, indeed, dystopian, all that the elites of today's rich billionaires have planned, aimed only at maintaining their privileges and, to achieve this, to provoke wars and massacres of innocents, to poison the planet, to completely replace human work and tasks with robots?! Technology must be used "cum grano salis" and, in order for science and research to be free, they must not be subject to the economic interests of a few rich people, to their narrow and limited perspective, and who reason like the character of Verga, Mazzarò, who thinks only of "stuff", of the riches he wants to bring even to the grave! This will be an unbloody revolution, a reversal of the perspective, meaning and purpose of human life on this planet: Get ready, then!

Mundo utópico
I hope that by 2040 the prejudices between races have disappeared and that the aggressive Islam has understood that violence was not the way to impose its ideas on the rest of the world - I hope that terrorism has disappeared from the earth and harmony is the one that dominates the world. Ideally, everyone should have a job and a stable and healthy life. Pollution should go down considerably and climate change ,, far from advancing, should reduce and avoid these great problems of aggressive rains and long periods of intensive droughts that we currently suffer. Birth and mortality should be balanced across the planet, and not as today as birth rates in the " first world " go down scandalously and in the rest of the world do not stop growing. And finally that food must be distributed equitably.

Vuosi 2040
Finland has changed a lot in 15 years. This is the year 2040, and Finland has caught up with studying again. The school prohibits the use of smartphones and studies are mainly done with books and booklets. PISA results have risen to the same level as in the 2010s. Some have slowed down, and not everyone is on their hands all the time. People have started to exercise, and public health has improved significantly. Cars have become electric cars, which has slowed down the rush. For example, in winter, electric cars may not start, so you won't be able to get to work. There have been many pandemics in Finland since the coronavirus, and viruses are still a major nuisance to fight. People are still divided on the usefulness of wearing masks. The work situation is much better than in 2025, and hopefully there will be no inflation.
