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?

utopia
I imagine a 2040 where the human race has managed to be at peace with all other races on earth, where we return to listen and respect nature and technology is exploited to help us achieve this goal.

La città che non sarà
I imagine my city, Florence, what it will never be again. Avenues and streets with trees that can cool the temperatures from the summer heat, and at the same time make us breathe good air. I imagine silence on the streets since you will travel mainly on cars with non-endothermic engine. A more sustainable and educated tourism than the current one. Easy and affordable travel for all users, including workers who will avoid using the car to get to work. I imagine a funzining and efficient healthcare without the long queues expected for important investigations / interventions, but above all I imagine a category of doctors educated and kind, as well as prepared and capable, which is not so evident today. In short, in the light of the choices of the last municipal / regional administrations, I imagine a Florence that can never be the decrypted one.

Cada nuevo día es un regalo
Every day when I wake up I was thrilled to think I'm still alive. When I was born this would be unthinkable. But we have evolved, at last! The second quarter of the 21st century started badly. Political, economic and social tensions intensified. What they called pragmatism degenerated into pure selfishness, greed, and authoritarianism. It had to end traumatically. But those we least expected helped. We learned from those whom we considered inferior. You always have to learn from others. We're all better. The less economically developed continents taught us to value what we had lost along the way, which cannot be quantified in dollars or euros. We are a collective, we all depend on everyone. And we all depend on where we live. We are setting priorities. It is essential to improve the natural conditions of the planet. Technology must integrate, not separate. AI has been decisive. Guilty of having political guidelines is really only governed by logic. Political democracy is not possible without economic democracy. Their contributions to daily life have been enormous; Almost miraculous in healing, determinants in technology, more human than men in sociology. We've got a long way to go, but we're heading in the right direction.

No violence, respect for others, become independent countries again with its own people and not let a massive submersion of migrants who come to destroy our civilization. To be able to go out with your children, parents, friends, without fear. Having a less industrial and less technological way of life .
