If every secret you've ever kept were poured into a river, would you still call that water clean? If every rule you've ever bent for someone that you cared about was projected over your head, would you still dare to call yourself innocent? Good. Then this hearing concerns you. As of now, this is not a TEDex talk. This is a hearing. This room is now a courtroom. You are the jury. Humanity is the accused. And the Nile is the only honest witness. And I rise before the court to defend a dangerous claim. Corrupt ...

A parlare di umanità mi viene in mente un racconto rabbinico. Si racconta di Rabbie Ezecchia. Vive a Lublino, in Polonia. Una notte Rabbia Ezecchia fa un sogno. Sogna che a Praga, molto distante da dove vive lui, sotto il ponte c'è uno straordinario tesoro. Al mattino si sveglia, si gira verso la moglie, dice "Moglie, ho fatto un sogno". E che sogno hai fatto? E le racconta il sogno. E la moglie comincia a insistere, a dire "Bene, allora vai, no, vai dove. " "A praga. " "Ma che sei matta.Ma è pericoloso, de ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-22 15:53
Language and Communication - Approximately 7,000 languages exist, yet humans have limited communication, choosing to be deaf and mute metaphorically [1] - Human civilization's achievement lies in imbuing sounds with meaning, defining language as the act of filling words and sounds with significance [1] - Language facilitates deeper connections beyond basic needs, enabling expression of emotions and abstract concepts [1] - The creation of shared meanings for sounds and words led to the development of transactional language, enhancing mutual understanding [1] - Language allows for the creation of immaterial worlds, perceiving beauty and potential beyond the physical [1] - Poetry became a testament to human existence, used to convey humanity across distances [1] Modern Society and Technology - Modern individuals rely on social media, using likes, hearts, and follower counts to define social value and status [1] - There is a concern that modern society is becoming a dystopian world where individuals are identified by numbers rather than names, reminiscent of dystopian literature [1] - Modern individuals willingly embrace a one-dimensional existence, driven by consumerism and the fear of missing out (FOMO) [1] - Protecting language and expression is crucial to preserving imagination and thought in the face of technological advancements [1] - The current era is described as post-human, with transhumanism aiming to enhance humanity through technology, raising questions about the balance between human and technological influence [1]
From Paintbrush to Possibility | Ghaya Alahbabi | TEDxDilmun
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-15 16:19
This is how my story began. Not in a laboratory, not in a boardroom, but with a paintbrush in my hand in a group of children in Zanzibar who had forgotten how to smile. We didn't share a language, but we shared something deeper.The need to heal. As colors began to fill in the room, I saw something extraordinary. Children who had been quiet started to laugh.Tears turned into pictures. and the pain turned into a possibility. And I learned something that day I'll never forget.Healing isn't only about medicine. ...

[music] [applause] I bow to the divine within you. I still remember the day my teacher at a parent teacher conference looked at my father and said, "Mr.. Nariman, I think your daughter is average in the class." For a moment, it stung. I felt the word average hang in the air like a judgment.And as I glanced at my father's flushed face, I felt the sharp tinge. Ouch. That must have hit a nerve with him, too.Is average bad. In a world obsessed with being at the top, was middle of the bell curve something to be ...
To be Human | Sonali Sharma | TEDxIITRopar
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-05 17:37
Human Experience - Being human involves embracing imperfections, contradictions, and the messiness of life, rather than striving for an unattainable ideal of perfection [1] - It is about balancing between work and life, understanding that small acts of kindness can make a significant difference [1] - Humans often crave simplicity but complicate things, desire happiness yet find reasons for sadness, and demand honesty while hiding behind filters [1] - The greatest act of courage is standing up for oneself, speaking up, protecting self-respect, and seeking help when needed [1] - Humans balance between needs and desires, finding meaning in small moments amidst the chaos of daily life [1][7] - Humans are wired for connection and empathy, not isolation or an overdose of information [6] Emotional Intelligence - Humans often hide pain and sorrow, presenting a facade of well-being even when struggling [1] - Learning from mistakes, including pride, ego, and anger, is crucial for developing kindness, gratitude, and humbleness [2] - It is important to acknowledge and embrace emotions rather than running away from them, as emotional intelligence is a key aspect of being human [2] Relationships and Connection - Humanity can be found in small acts of kindness and support from others, such as a steadying hand on a train or a stranger's blessing [1] - Forgiving others, even those who haven't apologized, and loving despite the risk are essential aspects of human connection [1] - Machines cannot replace human connection, empathy, or the comfort provided by friends and therapists during difficult times [4][5] Personal Growth - To be human is to fall and rise, to fail and try, to lose and still keep looking forward [6] - It involves daring, stumbling, breaking, and healing, and rebuilding again and again [1] - Overcoming the fear of regret is crucial, as is having the courage to choose momentary embarrassment over a lifetime of "what ifs" [10]

Bom, gente, eh eu não vou dar boa noite porque acho que a gente já tá viramos íntimos agora.
