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?

Een toekomst met vrijheid en gelijkheid
The theme I want to talk about for the year 2040 is freedom and equal opportunities. By 2040, Europe should securely guarantee freedom and equal opportunities for all its inhabitants in all areas: in terms of gender, education, mobility, access to medical care, government support, religion, occupations, physical disabilities, etc. It cannot be absolute freedom, because everything must go in respect to the fellow man, but the opportunities must be equal for everyone. That means that the government must create a form of deliberation that approaches democracy, but does not necessarily have to be exactly the same ? Forms or variants of democracy can be devised that refine and eliminate the inconvenients, such as blocking mechanisms by small minorities or by the super-rich, fragmentation of the political landscape that paralyzes national government for too long and so on. Equality does not mean that everyone should have or get the same thing, but that better balances are found, including the containment of profitariat. Equality also means thinking that extreme (and therefore unequal and unfree) thinking polarizes and actually puts a brake on freedom and equality. In this way, we can eliminate anomalies and injustices in society and find a better balance to really get along with everyone, regardless of disagreements or views.

Europa lidera
A social Europe, but with a European identity, that is attentive to inequalities and maintains humanity. A Europe that leads ecology but with its feet on the ground for production and globality, with productive capacity and that leads integration between Europeans (other nationalities also if they integrate).

Vamos mal
The future I do not see it very clear because there is more and more selfishness more wars more violence and losing information the ideal would be to govern the most intelligent and did something for the good of all humanity although their unlikely pollution and diseases will surely end everything long before the time comes to move forward.

Lo mejor está por venir
Every year we see greater advances in all fields. By 2040 I imagine a very advanced world where android robots will be a reality that we can see in all day-to-day activities. We will have home assistants / robots who will perform all the tasks of the home and take away those tasks that are so unpleasant. At the health level, the advances will be astonishing with organ transplants that today are unimaginable to us. Somehow we will have a direct control over our health (chip implantation or similar) that will allow us to measure our state in real time and be able to live longer and with more quality of life.
