I believe the future, as you pondered, is a return to God—not merely in the religious sense, but as a reconnection with the spiritual, moral, and collective truths that bind us as human beings. Whether through Kabbalah’s search for divine unity (Ein Sof), Sufism’s journey to inner perfection, or other contemplative practices, the path forward lies in rediscovering harmony within the disequilibrium. For even AI, the great disruptor, may ultimately point us back to our origins.

To paraphrase Rumi: “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” In this wound—this global disequilibrium—we are being called to reimagine leadership not as domination, but as moral evolution. The leaders who will steer humanity forward will be those who recognize this void and strive to fill it with truth, courage, and spiritual depth.

We are not at the end of humanity. Instead, we are at the brink of its rediscovery. Survival, as Darwin framed it, belongs to those who adapt. Yet perhaps true adaptation—true evolution—demands not bending further into the chaos but rising above it. The rediscovery of God, the divine symmetry that unifies all life, is the only path that remains untrodden in a world consumed by speed and ambition.

We are not at the end of humanity. We are at the edge of transcendence. A point where leadership will no longer be defined by dominion over others, but by the courage to point us inward, back to the truths we have covered up for far too long. God, the eternal equilibrium, waits—not behind us, but ahead, as the destination we have always been searching for. The future belongs to those who will dare to remember.

It leads to where we are in the world now. Ignorance and religion are the driving forces that create poor leadership.

Your analysis is the result of long contemplation, but this world is very superficial. Your analysis brings together very nice ideas with lofty meanings, but this level poses a very big challenge, which is the ability to convey these ideas to different categories of people (of different educational attainment, and different in understanding the language that deals with spiritual meanings). The return of man to contemplation of his relationship with the Creator and with himself is considered a higher level of thought than the idea of ​​leadership that we deal with at the level of the individual’s control over a group of people.

When you combine ignorance and religion and consider them as a cause of weak leadership, then this is undoubtedly a judgment that contains a clear bias. Ignorance is not a cause of weak leadership (with great reservations about the concept of ignorance). We will not reach judgments supported by the logic of history if we do not agree on the concept of ignorance. As for saying that returning to religions leads to weak leadership, this is undoubtedly a judgment that contradicts history, as leaders who started from religious backgrounds were among the most successful leaders.

Seddik Boudouda Paper highlights that Generation Z rejects Transactional Leadership in favor of Transformational Leadership, which aligns with spiritual and moral values. Leadership in the modern era should be holistic, fostering deeper connections and guiding towards harmony and transcendence. Embracing spiritual and divine truths enhances leadership by promoting authenticity, empathy, and a collective sense of purpose. Robert Donnelly Both household travel modeling and leadership for Generation Z underline the importance of moving away from isolated, transactional frameworks toward integrated, relational systems. Whether in transportation or management, success lies in understanding and addressing the collective dynamics of those involved. Just as advanced regional travel models create more accurate forecasts by considering the intricacies of shared travel, transformational and servant leadership resonate with Generation Z because they align with their deep-seated desire for harmony, purpose, and interconnectedness. reinforces this by arguing that returning to religious foundations can strengthen leadership, as historically, religious leaders have been among the most successful.

Boudouda,

Leadership at present is extraordinarily pernicious, the lack of leadership in the West, Trump reclaiming the Presidency because of an astonishing popular vote that indicates poor intelligence and education in the wealthiest country in the world, let alone the possibly psychopathic, but certainly criminal, intentions of Putin.

But Boudouda,

Your belief in the natural efficiency of religious leadership needs scrutiny. Are you talking about Iran perhaps, and I hope not? Muhammad's furores into rule? God help those whose leaders align with god! Throughout history (a large claim but provable I suspect) religious leaders have provided violent governance!
