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?

Energy hunger
In 2040, I envision a world where sustainable energy is the norm. Imagine cities powered entirely by renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy. Skyscrapers are adorned with vertical gardens, and every rooftop hosts solar panels. Public transportation is efficient, electric, and accessible to all, reducing our carbon footprint significantly. Communities thrive on local, organic produce, thanks to urban farming initiatives. Waste management is revolutionized, with zero-waste policies in place and advanced recycling technologies. Education emphasizes environmental stewardship from a young age, fostering a generation that values and protects our planet. In this future, clean air and water are a given, and biodiversity flourishes as natural habitats are restored. The global economy benefits from green jobs and sustainable practices, ensuring prosperity without compromising the health of our planet. This vision of 2040 is not just a dream but a goal we can achieve through collective effort and innovation.

Sonho 2040
In 2040, the world is a place where technology and sustainability go hand in hand. Cities are smart, with buildings covered by vertical gardens and solar roofs that provide clean energy. Autonomous and electric cars dominate the streets, reducing pollution and traffic accidents. Health has also evolved significantly. With advances in genetic medicine, many diseases have been eradicated, and life expectancy has increased. People have access to personalized treatments, based on their DNA, and artificial intelligence assists doctors in diagnosing and treating diseases. Education is more accessible and personalized. Traditional classrooms have given way to virtual learning environments where students from all over the world can collaborate and learn together. Augmented and virtual reality are common tools, making learning more interactive and engaging. In the environmental field, great progress has been made. Renewable energy is the main source of energy, and recycling and reuse of materials are common practices. It will be a year of innovation, sustainability and global collaboration. People live in harmony with technology and the environment, creating a brighter and healthier future for all.

O futuro que quero pra nós
We are in 2040 and today the world is very different from when I was young, nowadays people accept themselves as they are, there is no distinction of people all are treated as equal, our rulers are honest which makes our life much easier, there is no more poverty and everyone lives in dignified conditions.

Por um futuro melhor!
I wish the future was more humanized, better for everyone. That there should be respect, that everyone should have access to quality health care, that education should be better for everyone. There were not so many economic interests. That all sorts of violence would end. There should be greater respect for the environment. But, unfortunately, a large majority do not want or think about a better future.
