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?

As máquinas vão trabalhar para nós
With advances in technology, which in addition to being many are increasingly rapid, the way of life instituted for people is becoming obsolete. Technology is changing the paradigm of work. If, until now, only work guaranteed subsistence and it was fundamental to work to live and contribute to society, with existing and future technology, it will be less and less necessary to work to live. Then there must be legislation so that machines bear the social costs more fairly and equitably. This will make equity and peace more easily attainable.

Ελλάδα του 2050
Life in Athens in 2050 is unique. The city has become a technological miracle, where autonomous vehicles circulate on the streets and buildings are energy autonomous. Citizens walk the streets, enjoying the fresh air and comfort provided by the city. Schools and universities have become interactive environments, where education is done through virtual reality. Students from all over the world can take lessons from the best teachers without leaving their home. Medicine has made huge strides forward. With the help of artificial intelligence, doctors can diagnose and treat diseases with great precision. People live healthier and more productive lives. From 2025 to 2050, Europe has taken huge steps towards sustainability. Cities have become cleaner and more environmentally friendly. Technology and nature coexist harmoniously, creating a future full of hope and potential.

Fazer a mudança
Finally the world has changed, governments have taken action and climate change is in a calmer phase. Today I woke up well disposed, picked up those I love and went out for a walk by the lake, the animals returned, the air is cleaner and the trees around us are starting to grow, reborn from the old fires that are now less recurrent due to a greater and global awareness. There is still a lot to do, but we will not give up or go back, it is up to each of us to protect Mother Earth and all who inhabit her. People are happier, more free and empathetic, it is the force of Nature to take care of each one.

I want my children and grandchildren to have a better future. There would be no political corruption, no war. People would be close to each other again, there wouldn't be such a gap between nations, religions, races. But most importantly, we can keep the planet alive. Environmental pollution would be eliminated (or at least so minimal as to be almost unnoticed) that recycling would become more widespread and wildlife rich again (extinction, endangered species, etc.). It is important that our planet is healthy again, because this is the basis of everything.
