Question: Let’s talk a little about what happened this year. There have been many events, we need to read and explore all of this. I checked what people searched for the most on the Internet: the Olympic Games in Paris, elections in different countries, and the most was Donald Trump’s victory. This greatly interested the world. I’ll share other things that were highly viewed.

There were millions, almost billions, of views for the pygmy hippo Mu Deng born in Thailand. She bathes, she smiles, and people just keep watching, watching, watching.

There was the confrontation between two rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake. They lived peacefully creating their rap music until suddenly they started fighting, hating each other, insulting one another, pouring it all into their songs. And people are following this fight.

The successes of SpaceX—the space company; it seems people still dream of leaving the Earth.

Dubai chocolate is of great interest. There is a milk chocolate with pistachio filling, which got billions of views.

And then there’s natural disasters and much more.

Meanwhile, wars continued here and in Europe.

People are barely interested in scientific discoveries, Nobel laureates, or history.

I would like to ask you: how would you sum up 2024?

Answer: I do not know. It is time to shut it all down.

Question: You mean all of this?

Answer: All of it, really.

Comment: So you have little optimism about…

My Response: It is not that I have no optimism; I just have nothing to base it on. Everything is going downhill.

Question: Why do entertainers, like these rapper conflicts, interest people much more than anything else?

Answer: What else can they do? Where else can they throw themselves?

Question: So there is less empathy for wars, tragedies, suffering?

Answer: Of course.

Question: People are escaping, right?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: So a person does not go where…

Answer: They already have enough pain of their own. Personal troubles overshadow global ones.

Question: Is it possible that through interests in sports and entertainment people might eventually come to understand deeper things? That they will watch all this and gradually begin to ask: “Why am I watching this?”

Answer: They will. All this will lead them to the question of the meaning of life, of everything.

Question: So there is a positive seed in this, right?

Answer: I do not see people being able to evaluate their lives, their mission, and their purpose from a perspective where they would demand the Creator to reveal the full picture of creation to them. Humanity has lost itself.

This, I would say, is my diagnosis. At this point, millions will jump up and shout: “How can this be? What about this, what about that?” Live and you will see that even including this and that, and everything else, in the end, will all turn into one impassable swamp.

Question: Then tell me, if you could somehow guide humanity toward a single topic, and people would listen to you, what topic would you direct them to?

Answer: That is obvious—the meaning of life. I rely on the Creator; I completely believe in Him.

Question: Are you speaking about humanity or yourself right now?

Answer: About humanity.

I completely believe in Him. I completely align myself with Him. And in my understanding, that is how it looks. Give unto the Creator what is the Creator’s and to man what is his after the Creator takes His due.

Comment: I simply rely on Him, that is all.

My Response: Yes.

Question: But that is the right choice, to rely on the Creator?

Answer: I do not see any other option.
