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?

The best future I imagine is for there to be peace in the whole world, balance in everything, no poverty, no violence, happy children, happy families, the current corruption of governments to disappear all over Europe and in Greece, of course.

Redzu, ka pasule ir sadalīta starp dažam lielvarām un mēs joprojēm esam Eiropa. Vēlos to redzētu spēcīgu un vienotu, ar tām iespējām ko tā jau šobrīd dod, bet bez liekas birokrātijas. Joprojām ir izdevies novērst tiešus karus un mēs dzīvojam mierā, sadzīve ir pārgājusi uz digitālo vidi, daudz ko mūsu vietā izlemj makslīgais intellekts un daudzi lēmumi vairs nav jāopieņem pašam. Varu mierīgi dēdēt savā lauku īpašumā un pārvaldīt savi dzīvi no turienes. Ceļot ir kļuvis grūtāk, jo starp lielvarām ir milzīga konkurence un naids. Maz kas ir atkarīgs no parasto ierindas pilsoņu vēļmēm, visu izšķir varas pārstāvji - ir zināma veida diktatūra.

AI for more humanism
I would like that more people had that chance to work less while receiving more money for their work. With the productivity jump through AI enhanced technologies people would be able to finish their work quicker and would gain time to spend it with loved ones, take care of healthy habits, volunteer in favour of those in need etc

In 2040, I envision a future where sustainable energy solutions have completely transformed how we power our world. Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and by 2040, I hope that we have made significant strides toward a carbon-neutral society. In this future, the majority of our energy comes from renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydropower. Advances in battery technology and energy storage have made it possible to harness and store vast amounts of energy, ensuring that clean power is available even when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing. Fossil fuels are no longer a primary source of energy, having been replaced by cleaner alternatives that not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also minimize air and water pollution. Cities are designed with sustainability in mind. Urban planning prioritizes green spaces, energy-efficient buildings, and public transportation systems that run on clean energy. Electric vehicles dominate the roads, and advancements in public transit mean that more people rely on efficient, eco-friendly options for their daily commutes. This shift to sustainable energy has also spurred economic growth. Green jobs are plentiful, with industries related to renewable energy, energy storage, and environmental conservation leading the way. Education systems emphasize sustainability, teaching students the importance of environmental stewardship and equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in a green economy. Moreover, global cooperation on climate initiatives is strong. Nations work together to share technology and resources, recognizing that the fight against climate change is a collective effort. International agreements are in place to ensure that all countries are on track to meet their sustainability goals, with regular progress assessments and accountability measures. In this 2040, the impacts of climate change are being mitigated. Communities that were once vulnerable to extreme weather events have been fortified with resilient infrastructure. Ecosystems are being restored, and biodiversity is flourishing as conservation efforts are prioritized. The planet is on a path to recovery, and there is a sense of global optimism as we move closer to a truly sustainable world. This future is one where the health of our planet and the well-being of its inhabitants are at the forefront of every decision, ensuring a better world for future generations.
