In the last few weeks you have been talking a lot about the world running fast towards a dead end, without showing any more hope that things will ever change.
On the other hand, up to one month ago, you talked on the possibility that the presence of two hundred enlightened people, or even one, could save the world. Why this shift of emphasis?
