OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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?

Zukunft
I would like to see a Europe without wars and despots. And less garbage and dirt on the streets. If there are no more wars anywhere, everyone can stay in their own country (except for vacation purposes) Weapons (including knives) should be banned. It should be possible to treat illnesses in clinics - including cancer. Affordable housing for all. Inflation would be abolished

La société en 2040
Society in 2040 is more tolerant, with individuals less individualistic, but with a real awareness of the importance of "forming society", of being a community of solidarity, responsible for its future and its environment. Man has realized that he can be the key to his own salvation. Individuals are now more involved on a daily basis in helping others, preserving the environment and sharing wealth. Individual aspirations have given way to a collective, voluntary dynamic. Everyone is involved at his or her own pace, providing help, a gesture or time for an environmental or social cause. The economy is no longer based solely on personal enrichment, but values work and investment.

Nouveaux modes de préservation de l'espèce humaine
In the 2040s, advances in medicine enabled AI to create cocoons where patients could receive treatment and get their bodies back in tip-top shape. Market gardening and animal husbandry were revamped to provide the population with as much healthy food as possible. The development of renewable energies reduced pollution. A worldwide policy of birth control has been introduced.

Das Jahr 2040
The year is 2040 and we live in a time when people have understood that war is not a solution. After the USA and China have proven to the world that they have power, peace reigns. Unfortunately, people can no longer live everywhere without problems due to weather disasters. There are more and more periods of heat and therefore drought. The world is constantly changing.
