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?

BE (BITI)
A future in which we do not look at the far-reaching future, what it is, will be and what is awaiting us (as we are working now), but where we are all living together in that reality or present, and possibly 2040 is the year when the present is really about something, not an idealised future. If we just think, why do we struck the future? But perhaps the reason is that our created reality is the present of Muka, so that the uncertain, unknown and dark future of the world seems to be more tempted? And again, instead of influencing the present rhythm moving forward to the future, and making constant adjustments, we are preparing for the problems that may come to the plan, but at the same time we are eroding our bit. So we are just in 2040. We do not look back on the past, on the future, but on things now, and not 1000 years on.

Honest present (Iskrena sedanjost)
We talk about the future, but I would return to the past. Mutual relations and respect will be discussed. I believe that they have lost their values through global technological developments and a modern way of life. That’s why in 2040 I imagine a series of sincere talks between all generics and regardless of social attitudes. The coffee conversations will not be interrupted by the disruptive message, the father of the child will be able to engage in entertainment at sea with the children and will not be absent due to phone belling and “urgent” calls from the service. I also imagine animation of children other than playing games on a tablet and looking at cartoons. We are available 24 hours a day via phones, i.e. some can be reached at work 24 hours a day, linking it to the privativities of individuals and separating the job segment and private life. In my home words, I don’t want people to “carry a job home”. I again imagine that we start a frank discussion about the problems of individuals and we don’t sweep the problems, but solve them. Here, I remember Ana Karenina’s book, where the spouses fled up to 4 nights until they had solved all the problems and only then bred into bed.

care (preskrbljenost)
A future in which inequality in pay brackets is reduced, as well as another way of valuing students’ knowledge, as well as teachers where teachers are paid for efficiency, i.e. that the work actually gets back to importance, that is to say teaching rather than serving money.

Humanity (Človeštvo)
I want a sustainable future where people’s well-being outweighs capital. This is a future where food self-sufficiency prevails, digitalisation would be used for the well-being of the planet (electrtrification) rather than for the consumable/firmisation of capitalism, with an effective welfare state, sustainable jobs, followed by de-profesionalisation and depolarisation of policy, decentralisation would be a prerequisite for the transition to a green economy.
