June 1—Before us, looms the threat of the outbreak of a profound escalation of the NATO-Russia conflict, a trajectory that would lead to nuclear warfare and possible complete human extinction. Somewhat more distant on the horizon is what could be called the “Green Death” — the destruction of productive capabilities, including, prominently, agriculture, in the name of protecting the planet for a future humanity (of less than one billion people). These twin challenges demand an affirmation of the beautiful truth of the human identity — of the potential, across cultures and time, to contribute a new discovery, a new act of courage, of enduring value, to the future. A new paradigm based on the true nature of the human individual, is required — nothing less will work!
