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?

Sustainability is a norm
In 2040, I would like to see a world where sustainable living is no longer an aspiration but the norm. Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and imagining a future where we’ve effectively addressed it is both hopeful and inspiring. By 2040, I envision a world where we’ve transitioned fully to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal power, drastically reducing carbon emissions. Cities are powered by clean energy grids, and buildings are designed to be carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative. Transportation has undergone a revolution, with electric vehicles and advanced public transit systems being the standard. Air travel is carbon-neutral, thanks to breakthroughs in hydrogen-powered planes or other clean technologies. Forests, oceans, and other ecosystems are thriving, having been restored and protected through global cooperation and innovative conservation methods. Moreover, I imagine a circular economy where waste is virtually eliminated. Products are designed for reuse and recycling, and single-use plastics are relics of the past. Communities worldwide have access to clean water, nutritious food, and education, creating a more equitable world. In this future, humans live in harmony with the planet, fostering a legacy of sustainability for generations to come.

I woke up this morning to go to work. I don't have to worry anymore about how long it will take to get there. Now I can teleport there and save enough time for myself and my family. If I have to worry anymore about traffic or pollution of the environment due to excessive gusts.

The future if we tried our best
Hey! Since you are new here I will shoe you around. It's the year 2040 and we are in the middle of a communist change. Let me show you around. First let's teach about the countries. Opps their aren't any. We live together as a whole here. No borders or anything but we still love each others cultures. If you haven't tasted Mexican food you are missing out on a lot. It might seem the same as always but this place is different. There is of course still money that exists but slowly but surely people increase the money they give to the goverment so we can do all kinds of stuff with it. The goverment is 100% clear. If a politician is seen even lying in the slightest bit he/she is going to jail. Schools have new classes like morality and philosophy even for 1st graders. They don't learn a lot bur definitely more than what they did before. I belive in about 400 years we won't need money at all. Would you think that's possible?

I would definitely like a future where we'll have a better life and not live like a doze and look for how to live and what little. Life should be lived fully every day to enjoy as much as possible. I want to travel the world, pursue my dreams and visions. You have enough money for everything I can remember.
