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?

Le retour à la nature
I wake up and find myself in 2040. I look out the window of my room, I am surprised, I am in another world: No car noise, no people arguing on the road, no trash on the sidewalks. I rub my eyes well , I hold objects to reassure me that I do not dream. I look for my clothes, I find to wear with my hand a soft white dress like silk I wear it and I leave my home. Barefoot, no need for shoes, everything is clean, roads shine , flowers everywhere, birds sing, clean air, blue sky. People greet each other with a radiant smile …

Sandt eller falsk
The world is a place where the most psychopathic people set the agenda in Europe and the rest of the world. A world where everyone can ask the questions whether factual facts are correct. Example unemployment is at 4%, according to the statistics, but political psychopaths believe the unemployment rate is at 12%. Fake News, lying is okay, even on TV.

No way out
The year is 2040, global fires are complicating the lives of the still growing world population, it is getting warmer and the glaciers of the world are completely gone. Sea levels have risen significantly and continue to rise, coastal cities are under increasing pressure from ever-increasing water masses. Machines are increasingly taking over the tasks of humans and are becoming ever more intelligent, the CO₂ values in the Earth's atmosphere have long exceeded a critical level.

El anillo verde
In 2040, Europe is a model of technology, sustainability and social inclusion. Cities shine with automated public transport and clean energy, while drones manage shipments and security. Smart buildings recycle energy effectively and efficiently. With universal basic income, people spend time on creative and community activities. This reduces stress due to questions such as; Will I arrive with my salary at the end of the month?, Can I afford a whim this month?,... In social groups, people exchange ideas and learn together. The "Green Ring" of vertical forests purifies the air and guarantees fresh food. Physical borders are replaced by a network of cultural cooperation, and armies are focused on combating climate disasters. A future with a lot of efficient technology; sustainable education over time for all social classes; in addition to the extinction of the largest pandemic in our world, hunger and the scarcity of hygienic resources.
