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 last war in the world has just ended. All nations have recognized the boundaries between them as final. It doesn't matter that more than 50 new countries were created, but in the name of world peace, it would be worth it. The people returned to their homelands and felt that they were finally free. Violence and oppression have disappeared, and all nations are united in the fight against climate change, which threatens the world, but not the one caused by man, but the real one who comes from space. The world's largest countries are committed to maintaining peace in the world, regardless of cultural differences and differences in economic levels. It is then that the individual will feel that he is living in peace and stability.

By 2040 I will probably not be there anymore, but this does not mean that I want the best for my children and grandchildren, which is why I hope that everyone, both large and small, poor or rich, will (begin to) take their responsibility. No one knows what awaits our grandchildren, no one can look into the future, no one can predict it, let alone for 20 years or more. That is why it is crucial that we now commit ourselves in all areas to save our nature, think of harmful substances from factories, ed, the very polluting aircraft and cargo transport, the ships not excepted, the missiles that they send to space to do so-called for investigations, no this is also commercially by the great empires, it is not the animals that burden and damage the environment, man is the great culprit, without humans no pollution

Een dag in 2040: De Nieuwe Renaissance van Europa
The sun rises above a futuristic Amsterdam, where floating trains silently shoot past the glass facades of energy-neutral buildings. I get out of my autonomous taxi, which navigates effortlessly through the car-free center. The air is cleaner than ever, thanks to the radical shift to carbon-negative cities in the 2030s. On the way to work, I greet a colleague who lives in Spain—his holographic presence next to me feels lifelike. Thanks to quantum computers and decentralized AI, we work together limitlessly, while universal basic income stimulates our creative innovation. During lunch I walk through a vertical park, a living tower full of trees and vegetable gardens. Food waste is a thing of the past, since the regenerative agricultural revolution of 2040. In the evening, I visit an exhibition on the history of the transition: how pandemics, climate crises and energy shortages forced us to cooperate. We learned from the past. 2040 is not a utopia, but the result of conscious choices – made by people who dared to dream and act.

I would especially like a peaceful life without war and unrest, full of family well-being and happiness. More safety and pleasant people in the world. I wish for a world without animal abuse, addiction and violence. From a technological point of view, I can't imagine where else things could go, but I'd love to watch it. Sometimes less is more and you have to focus on the important things.
