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?

In the future, there will be no misleading headlines in the press or elsewhere. People understand what they're talking about and don't spread misinformation. Governments also do not spread misinformation or waste public money. Things are done quickly and efficiently. Managers are also really responsible for idiosyncratic decisions everywhere, both in the private sector and in the public sector.

Parempi vaihtoehto elämään.
The world situation has improved considerably. There are few unemployed. Crime has disappeared to a minimum. Everyone in prison works every day. Every family has an owner-occupied apartment, which is paid monthly. Every person has their own job. Remote working has increased for almost everyone. Mothers work from home, caring for their children.

AI, green energy and equity
In 2040, I envision a world where renewable energy has fully replaced fossil fuels, making clean energy accessible and affordable for all. Solar, wind, and fusion power drive our cities, eliminating carbon emissions and reversing climate change. Air pollution is a thing of the past, and once-endangered ecosystems are thriving again. Transportation is fully electric, with high-speed trains and self-driving vehicles powered by sustainable energy. Urban areas have green rooftops, vertical farms, and efficient recycling systems that minimize waste. Advanced battery storage ensures that energy is available 24/7, even in remote regions. Technology and sustainability go hand in hand—AI optimizes energy grids, and smart homes adjust consumption to reduce waste. Hydrogen and fusion energy breakthroughs make power limitless and affordable. This future is not just about the environment; it’s about equity. Clean energy has brought economic opportunities to developing nations, bridging wealth gaps and providing reliable power for education, healthcare, and businesses. In 2040, the world is healthier, cleaner, and more connected, proving that sustainability and progress can coexist.
