Ladies and gentlemen, and everyone else.
Welcome to your 21st century odyssey.
We're happy to help you along the way.
This journey began with foolishness,
but we don't know how it will end.
Will it be doom? or new hope?
Global warming, cannibalization crises,
pandemics, military ambitions of superpowers,
monopolistic multinationals,
xenophobia and other forms of discrimination.
Broken democracies,
distorted justice and education systems,
social polarization,
a media that doesn't report the truth,
and many other issues..
Despite this,
there are voices of solidarity
from citizens around the world
who are not giving up
and are demanding reflection and improvement.
The challenge to find a new way forward continues,
as does the effort to make the truth known.
Will it be doom? or new hope?
Now we're ready to take off.
Please fasten your seatbelts.
Thank you.
