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?

Es wird eine schöne Welt.
My future looks like this. The doctors, the scientists, the researchers find a cure for fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. My health will be fine in 2040. People have also realized their mistakes and respect nature and animals. The environment has recovered. You can breathe good air all over the world. Unfortunately, some animal species have died, but humans have ensured that many animal species have survived. There are hardly any cars or airplanes left. It will be a beautiful world in which every living creature enjoys living.

Hoe ik het zie
I hope that I am still alive in 2040, when I will be 85, I don't know what to expect. I hope that my husband and I will still both be here and that health care will perhaps be a little better than it is now. I hope that there will no longer be war or famine anywhere, that everyone will be back in their own country and that the Netherlands will once again be for the Dutch and that everything will go well for everyone.that if someone does something that really cannot be done, he or she will also be punished and that justice will take its course, that you will really be a perpetrator and no longer a suspect, even though people have seen it happen; there is so much injustice now.

Un futuro adulto
It's 2040. We are no longer afraid of Artificial Intelligence because we have found that it helps us to diagnose diseases and identify cures, to pollute less and to find materials and processes that are really able to cut emissions, indeed that in their production they can sequester CO2. We are no longer just talking theoretically about green and sustainability and circular economy: we are really making a difference and our cities are finally clean and welcoming, they are cities for people, where green is not just maquillage but is wanted, lived and cared for with awareness and care and water (waterways) is a friendly and positive component. People, even the common and inexperienced ones, have learned to use Social Media with respect, they know English and no one dares to use aggressive tones anymore. Have we grown up? Perhaps.

I wish it was like it used to be, but unfortunately, I don't believe that times will return to what they were 25 years ago. In 2040, I see a world of speeding people caught up in phones without which they can't do any of the smallest things. On the other hand, I see people fighting for each day. The rich versus the very poor. Clogged with responsibilities, worried about all the duties they will be saddled with not so much by virtue of living and running a home o but imposed by the state. Taxes slicing our income for more and more reasons. Tired and overworked people trying to pay for everything that comes their way. Wanting them to have some pleasure left over. Constantly worrying about adjusting even their homes to meet the requirements placed on them, struggling for.any help with what is imposed on us from above. Overworked-forced to supplements ania more and more vitamins, because those consumed in food are not enough to replenish the supply when working so hard. And nature-more and more disappearing from our sight. Resources used to the maximum. Places of former exploitation left behind, destroyed, neglected.
