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?

Walking Night (Περπατώντας στο δρόμο τη Νύχτα )
A better future should be free from the serious problems of today: violence, war, hostility, rape, crimes against people by other people, all of which I would like to have reduced. Everyone’s rights to be equal regardless of their race, sexuality, gender, what they love and what they stand for. Equality of practice, not only by name, but also in practice. Equal pay, education, education in all areas that determine a person’s future. I would like to believe that other key issues such as hunger, poverty, basic human rights and the needs of the human being covered to survive will have been resolved. We will also solve one key problem: the destruction of our own planet. And if we have not solved it, we will have made very important moves to solve it by involving citizens and persuading it is an important issue of those who are now unaware of it.

A greener eco-friendly future
Electric cars/buses to have replaced the current ones in more than 50%. Big cities are greener and more spacious and mobility is not only achivend by cars and buses but also by bicycles. People will work 4 days/ week and have time to enjoy their families and homes, also have more time to travel.

Intangible Future (Άυλο Μέλλον )
We are in 2040. Technology has changed even further. Vehicles do not have drivers. The environment above the ground is also used for movements. There are no mobile devices at all. Technology can read thinking and plan everything. But people are more lonely and alienated. Bet with the environment has been lost. Temperatures are high, there are severe weather events and extreme situations. Diet has changed. Food is chemically and technically manufactured. The offices are digital. Biodiversity has been reduced. But life expectancy has increased paradoxically.
