"Greek philosophers diagnosed the weakness of will to be the problem of why knowledge does not immediately translate into action. Smokers are a good example of this. They know fully well, that every cigarette is killing them, yet they continue to smoke. The Eastern wisdom traditions like Buddhism on the other hand, would argue that the problem is the failure to integrate such knowledge into the person’s being. It is meditation that serves as the link and the tool in the integration of intellectual knowledge and the desired changes in our behavior. Therefore in order to make meaningful changes in our physical actions, we need to change our perspective on life."

"Today’s leaders, who all belong to the collapsing world (including Barak Obama (3)), cannot possibly imagine how to solve the problem, just like central bankers in 2006/2007 could not possibly imagine the scope the unfolding crisis could reach (4). It is their world which is disappearing under their eyes, their beliefs and their illusions (sometimes similar) (5). According to our team, a 20 percent renewal of worldwide leaders is required to begin to see sustainable solutions (6) appear. This is indeed, according to LEAP/E2020, the « critical mass » needed to permit any fundamental change of perspective in a complex not very hierarchical human group. Today we are still far from reaching this critical mass: in order to contribute to finding solutions to the crisis, those new leaders must accede power in full awareness of the crisis’ specific nature."
