Humanity’s strength as a species is about to become our downfall. Due to the size of our population and our increasing life expectancy, humanity is facing an existential threat—one that will cause our world model to collapse by the middle of the twenty-first century. You don’t have to look hard to see it. Humanity’s dashboard is lighting up with warnings: environmental, financial, social, and demographic. Our planet is on borrowed time. Intellectuals around the globe are sounding the alarm, building awareness of these catastrophic problems, but we lack a consistent strategy to reverse our current momentum. The Quantum Leap presents a case study of a new model—a silver bullet that could change our trajectory, yielding intelligent, long-term solutions to all the threats we’re facing today. With a New Universal Model, we can prevail.
