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?

I travel to the 2040s and the world looks like I always dreamed of being cleaner, more sustainable and more connected. Cities have become green oases with smart homes that use solar energy and ensure energy savings. Emission-free transport means electric cars and autonomous vehicles that have reduced congestion and air pollution. Everywhere people seek harmony with nature, many grow their food in urban gardens or vertical farms. Technology has brought huge advances in health care, so many live longer and healthier lives with advances in genetics and artificial intelligence. Everyone’s life has become simpler and smoother, from smart medicine to AI assistants who take care of everyday needs. The future is for all people, regardless of origin, gender or wealth. Communities that promote collaboration and empathy dominate. There is a positive atmosphere everywhere and a strong concern for each other and the future of the planet.

They finally condemn all genocidal governments and lock up corrupt politicians whose fascist and neo-Nazi message created so much misery, hatred and scarcity in humanity. And so do extraterrestrial beings who collected all the evil of rulers and businessmen eager for power and luxury. They leave the planet clean of professional criminals from politics and business. They break down borders and foster appreciation for others, different human ethnicities and nature, teaching humans the values of equity, nature and peace.

Un monde meilleur
I would like common sense to be the rule for everything, for life to be as gentle as possible with people who respect each other, who watch over each other. I would like there to be no more conflict, work to be more shared, physical links to take precedence over virtual ones, our children to thrive in a healthier environment, research to progress again and again to enable everyone to live as well as possible.

Vivir en armonia con la naturalez
I would like that in 2040 Europe is an ecological continent and that it only depends on clean energies to live. May citizens live in peace and harmony with nature. In the Canary Islands I would like to have an ecological tourism and that we depend only on clean energies, that we manage to produce everything necessary so as not to depend on others. That there are no problems either of housing or of work, that the education is public and efficient and that the health is of the best that we can have.
