How Flags Unite and Divide Us @TED @TEDx #shorts #tedxtalks

[rustyheyman]

I kind of think of the world as a ship. It is a leaking ship and we’re fighting over who gets to be captain instead of working together to fix the leaks.

[I_am_Ari_llo]

I agree, we should unite, not only with a flag, but as a whole GLOBAL human community.

[andrielioliveirabarros]

Flags are necessary due to our diversity. With one flag comes hidden inequalities

[redtop]

An excellent idea - not sure of the design but that's a mute point. The concept is very interesting and worth exploring further

[coreyedwards]

The flag is based on the flower of life, a form of sacred Geometry. It Symbolize things like 7 days of genesis, the start of embryos, and life itself. I think it'd perfect for humanity's symbol

[reyes]

Exactly.. I’ve thought like that since I was a kid

[antoniotinoco]

That is the seed of life, from sacred geometry. There will never be such a thing as no nations, races, or cultures. Each deserve their own flag and most have them. Flags are not the problem. Greed and corruption is.

[valterbione]

I think it's more like the human flag than the earth flag, if we are on Mars, will there be a new flag?

[BinaryReader]

Nations have value because they embellish a sense of national identity and pride in ones cultural lineage. It's easy for the US to say "let's all be one and erase our national borders", just so long as whatever culture emerges from that is a distinctly Aan American one.

No thanks, I'm not American and cherish my nations history and culture, and how it interacts with other cultures and contributes to the enrichment of cultural / national diversity and "ways of being".

[Anuchan]

uniting all countries ends our wars but keeps us as enemies.

[Wesleyheintzelman]

I like the we are all “one” in the grand scheme of things bc it is true and I don’t feel like we don’t need anything flag to show that!!!

[Rrangwane]

I like the theory of this.. buuuut the fact that the earth flag is designed by a white man in europe, it feels like a repackaging of the global isms we are plagued by

[Rainaman-]

Knowing TED talks he probably is a flags salesman

[ValitasCreativeLife]

If we’re all one what do we need to fight ? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[jayhachey]

The only thing we should be fighting is against the world economic forum

[Malc]

Anyone who thinks humans are all the same is just delusional. Humans ALL HAVE EQUAL VALUE AND RIGHTS. But that does not mean we are the same. Especially not when it comes to different races and cultures. We might as well be different species at this point. This isn’t racist saying one is better, because neither is “better” just different. It is clear we are not all the same.

[fridah]

At ages 13-18 I would of loved this idea
Now that I’m 24 this is just a terrible nightmare 🥲

[josegomez]

That's a elementary design tbh, just put the planet earth lol

[codebroz_]

You know what exactly the term SANATAN DHARMA is?
It is what you are talking about .

[THERepublic]

No. My worldview can’t be based on subjective code that shifts with the wind. “Humanity” is not an ethos. We are not the same.
