Nowadays the whole world is facing a very difficult period of crisis. In the past, whenever there was a crisis, it would be replaced by another crisis. If there was an economic crisis, it was replaced by a spiritual one. If it wasn’t a spiritual crisis, then it turned into a cultural one; and if not cultural, then technological. They somehow kept replacing one another, and thus humanity went on evolving.

But today, we’ve reached a point where no matter what kind of experts we talk to—philosophers, physicists, humanists, scientists, sociologists—all come to a screeching halt in their development. They’re completely lacking in the ability to envision the right path to follow. They’re unable to see or understand, and they feel unable to develop further.
