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?

Vision to the future
I would like that the future would care more for the environment especially the big companies and do more research therefore for technologies which are sustainable. I imagine also that flying taxis in this time are normal and we don't have cars like in 2025 anymore, we own like little airplanes everyone. Also I would wish that the people in the future care more for the animals and protect their habitat. I wish that the pollution of the oceans and also the air is less in these times and that the people and companies realised the importance of that topic.

Futur meilleur
I would like to see less intrusive technology in the future, such as the phone that follows us everywhere and social networks that prevent us from thinking properly. I also hope to see an improvement in industrial food, because more and more people will have to be fed, and I am afraid that the quality will be even worse than it is now. I also hope that people will be more open-minded and awake about who the real problem people are rather than bickering with people who are in the same trouble as them.

Triste avenir.
As a Belgian, it is important to keep our identity, our DNA. I'm afraid it's already too late to keep our Christian values. Immigration is a social, economic and cultural scourge. Unfortunately the politics of the left will have 2040 allowed an invasion, a "submersion" (as President Trump says) of people who do not share our values and whose sole purpose is to invade us and impose on us their religions, customs, ideology,... By 2040 Europe is bankrupt, natural disasters have ravaged countries, people are isolated and drowned under increasingly stifling constraints. But by 2040, people finally understood that overproduction of meat is harmful and they are being directed towards a healthier diet. Animals are better treated. Farms have become rare and of very good quality for animals. We are paying more and more taxes and poverty is everywhere. But in May 2040, I'm retired and that's good news.

Europa Unida
Europe today marks the fifth anniversary of the United States of Europe; In 2035, the foundation stone of a political union between the former European states was laid, finally achieving political and social cohesion for all European citizens. The United States of Europe has eradicated the use of violence to settle conflicts, implemented a European Basic Income to eradicate poverty, and implemented a common fiscal policy for the entire continent.
