There's no way that we can have national security unless everybody else in the world has national security as well. Because we're not going to forget how to make nuclear weapons even if we do decide to dismantle the ones we have. So we have to think about national and global security.

And then you realize that nobody feels secure when they don't know if they're going to be able to eat tomorrow. So you can't separate security from the problems of poverty and hunger. And you certainly can't separate security from the problem of environmental deterioration and impacting the life support systems of the planet. All these things require a total change in attitude with regard to our relationship to the planet.

Everything is interconnected in such a way that there's no solution to one problem without a solution to them all together. And at first glance that might seem to make the problems much harder and the situation much more complex.

But actually, it really doesn't. What it means is that what we need is one fundamental global mind change and all of the problems become much more solvable than they were before. And I think that's what we are somehow intuitively being led to.
