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?

Artėjant prie amžiaus vidurio.
Two thousand forty years. I'm eighty-four now. The world has changed a lot, as have I. All sustainability theories have collapsed, it has been clarified that this was a money laundering and misappropriation, but the collective responsibility of politicians has failed to identify and bring to justice. The wars were kept to a minimum. My health is no longer good, although a breakthrough has been promised in the field of health care, but the promises have not been kept. The new generation, some inactive, apparently consumer activities of life took the top, forty-year-olds are somehow anemic, they do not want to engage in some activities, even entertainment is no longer interested, let alone work. Climate change has not changed, cycles repeat themselves on the principle of the spring, as was already the case in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In Europe, there has been a significant decline in the number of ethnic Europeans, a very large number of Arabs, Asians, Mongol-type ethnoses. Technical progress is stagnating because some limit has already been reached that the human mind can no longer cross, as has been established by Artificial Intelligence. My future is already clear, there is almost no time left, so it remains only to wish those who are moving forward to go beyond all limits and not give in to apathy.

Pēc neliela laika sprīža
I'm 82 years old, quite chased vision from the use of over-technologies. On the other hand, I have retained my reading skills and will be able to read in front of thirty-year-olds who I will not understand what I have read. It will finally be possible to travel from Riga to Europe by high-speed train. Aggressive Russia will be calmed for a longer time. Latvian will also be used for communication in Latvia. In general, it will not be so bad at all.

L'uomobartrfice della sopravvivenza di Madre Terra
Today, 1 January 2040, the sun finally peeps out behind a blanket of dark clouds that for years have darkened the sky, after so many disasters, so many floods, earthquakes and tidal waves, acid rains that have devastated the earth by reducing crops and therefore causing famine and so many deaths, especially children, man has understood that nature must be protected, every single man and woman has done his part, has taken responsibility, has carefully diffracted waste, has recycled, has not wasted water, has stopped polluting seas, rivers lakes, has produced less CO2 and above all has understood that farming intensively is against nature, animals must be respected. Mother Earth is still convalescing but she is on the road to healing and I am confident, man may not be extinct.

Leider kein schöner Ausblick
I think in 2040 the climate catastrophe got worse. Huge firestorms are now also threatening our major cities in Europe. Furrowable heat waves prevail especially in the summer in southern Europe, where I live with my wife. The so-called floods of the century have become the rule. The Amazon rainforest burns off all of Allien and is no longer a coal storage facility. Our seas are also so warm and acidified that they can hardly absorb CO2. Food prices are rising to unprecedented levels. There is a shooting order at the external borders of the European Union. Violent social upheavals cause internal unrest and violence.
