00:00As I understand, in my opinion, human fraternity is trying to reach an alliance with all of the
00:20people around the world, that the people will unite together, and these people could be from
00:26different backgrounds, religions and countries, so that they can understand each other and
00:35communicate with each other freely.
00:38We can see that we have many conflicts in our world right now, and in some other cultures
00:45and religions there could be things that other people cannot accept, so it would be difficult
00:52of course to reach this, but it is not impossible.
00:56I do agree that such things actually do unite people around the world, so if we make a hype
01:05on something and make something very popular, of course people will unite around us around
01:12the world and maybe forget some disagreements.
01:15So yes, something popular is actually very important to unite people.
01:22It could be an option, so it's like one of the things that you should do in order to reach
01:32the unity of the people.
01:34Because it's also important that the government also is in this question and understand it.
01:41Because without the government, without the people who have the power and have the money,
01:46it would be impossible also to reach it, even if you are making something very popular.
01:52Some of my friends, it would be interesting for them to sit and to listen.
01:57But for the most people I met actually like my age, maybe they will not be interested in such
02:05stuff, they have other things to do.
02:08We have to make also such forums, but maybe a bit smaller, to educate children already, so
02:17that they will maybe understand what we will be talking about and so that they will already
02:23make a discussion with themselves from young age, that they will have critical thinking.
02:30So maybe if we engage this from this perspective of educating young people, then it would be much
02:42easier maybe in the future to make them understand what we are talking about and make them interested in these topics.
