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

    Climate change is a hoax. Humans have nothing to do with it. The poles are shifting and yea it will happen in our lifetime but nothing we can do to stop it. Better buy a bigger boat.

    That’s some poor design, ngl

    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”.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but the only people going to outer space or mars are the elite billionaires.

      I didn’t think he was talking about people in space, not physically.

    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.

      All stemming from supreme selfishness.

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

      Indian culture is all about humanity and this person is talking about only humans
      But in India people care about everything thing living non leaving all
      Indian believes that earth is our mother.
      And this philosophy is from thousands of years old.

    Who gave them the right to make a flag for the whole. When they don’t even care for thy neighbor….
    It doesn’t make sense, just ego

    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!!!

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

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

    I agree

    No. It should BE the Earth. 😤

    I get you have a dream. But you need to step back into reality. Humans adapt to survive. no more, no less. That means freedom of choice and Any reasonable/ Intelligent human will not trust anyone beyond their community.

    Knowing TED talks he probably is a flags salesman

    I don’t like the design 😢

    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
