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?

People for Gaia
I see a future free of war, where people care for each other - where economy and prosperity are important but also the protection of our planet and the biosphere as a whole is a significant priority. I also see (hope for) a future free of too much daily involvement of people with social media, that instead have been transformed to globalized liberal (not for profit) platforms of circulating ideas and democracy. People at 2040 have started thinking (I hope) the idea of Gaia and our planet as a self-controlled, harmonic, and interactive complex of biological and non-biological worlds that we should care about.

Democratic,fair for all Europe
A democratic,fair Europe, without any corruption, without any poverty and with respect to the environment. I hope there will be more equality, fair practises for all, participation and solutions given to problems such as poverty and corruption. The rights of workers will be priority and not those of profits of big corporations.
