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?

Democracy, solidarity, presence, sustainability and humanity. Politicians and social debaters around the world have succeeded in opening people's eyes to the joke of these topics, so that as many people as possible can have as good and safe a life as possible, while at the same time taking care of the planet and using only what we need

I hope that there will be facilities and care enough for the grey wave of which I will be a part in 2040. Care is not an attractive sector for the next generation, but it is also our joint care. Above all, I hope that as a result of my positive way of life, I can become a strong and vital old.

In a better future, the Earth would be much better off. Air, ship or car traffic would no longer be polluting, but vehicles would run on water, wind or solar energy, for example. Recycling would have evolved enormously, and everything could be recycled. Recycling would be made mandatory by law, and failure to comply with the law would result in a substantial penalty. Eating meat in its present form would have been left behind and replaced by artificial meat produced in laboratory conditions. In addition, ecological vegetarian food would have strengthened its position. Fast fashion would have been almost completely eradicated, and the production of clothes should be done in an ethical and environmentally sustainable manner. Human rights and equality would have taken a great leap forward. There would be no racism, people would accept each other and treat each other kindly and fairly. Animal rights would also be better protected and animals would no longer be used to satisfy people's food needs. There would no longer be war on Earth, but there would have been progressive ways to preserve peace. Education is free and truly accessible to all.

Modern but not better.
It's 2040 and so much has changed in the last 15 years. Mobile phones are now the size of an earbuds and can be placed into your ear and operated by soundwaves and electrical energy from your brain. Robots do most of the household work and soon will replace humans in the workplace. Banks supermarkets and restaurants no longer need humans to serve everything us computerised and ready made meals are packed in dishes and stored in fridges by robots.
