[Music] Have you ever noticed how we are more connected than ever and yet somehow lonier than ever. We are always online, always reachable and yet something still feels missing. Strange, right.It's like living in a paradox. Connection everywhere, but real connection nowhere. Take selfies for example.This is the formal version of me. And these are me with my selfies. The filtered fun post under perfect kind of selfies.But before I move on, I want you all to do a small activity with me. I want you to take out ...
The Silent Algorithm | Dr. Soha Chahine | TEDxUniversity of Birmingham Dubai
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-01 15:57
Core Argument - The central theme revolves around the idea that individuals and organizations are increasingly behaving algorithmically, prioritizing performance and optimization over authentic human connection and emotional awareness [1][2][9][10] - The report advocates for a shift towards "human intelligence" (HI), emphasizing presence, connection, and choice as antidotes to burnout, isolation, and automation [12] Silent Truths - Burnout stems from pretense and emotional overload, not excessive workload, highlighting the pressure to maintain a facade of strength and certainty [5][6] - Success is defined by the depth of connections, not the height of achievement, emphasizing the importance of trust and genuine relationships [7][8] - The real danger lies in humans becoming algorithmic, losing their ability to feel, pause, reflect, and choose, rather than AI becoming human [9][10] Recommendations - Organizations should prioritize authenticity and presence in leadership, moving away from rewarding constant performance and towards valuing genuine human connection [6][7] - Individuals should focus on understanding and reprogramming their "silent algorithm" – the emotional scripts driven by fear, expectations, and belief systems – to lead from a place of choice and authenticity [3][4] - The industry needs to remember and embrace human qualities like feeling, pausing, and reflecting to avoid becoming dehumanized in an AI-driven world [10][11]

[Music] Why are you dancing with your hands. Why does it look like you're possessed every time you speak. What they really meant was, "Can't you just be less you?" When I was in fifth grade, people said that I spoke like a possessed bouncing ball.So I trained myself to speak like a statue, to be more perfect, if you will, because by then I had already learned the rules. Perfect score, perfect posture, perfect academic life, extracurricular activities, social media, feed, friend, group. Hang out with the coo ...

I'm just sitting there by that cozy spot near the window. The one with the soft light that always makes the words seem just a little more alive. Today, it's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Again, it's the 21st time I read it.Each time I open it, I'm amazed at how much I still love it. how much I feel like I'm fighting my way through the tri- wizard tournament with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The words flow almost automatically, and I don't even need to read them.I know them by heart. But today, something ...

RT MONO (@mono_ojj)This is honestly one of the most fascinating memecoin stories I’ve watched unfold. It’s rare to see something emerge truly organically in this space without the typical VC/cabal premines and orchestrated hype cycles.The trajectory from $5M back to $180M shows just how powerful a simple, self-aware narrative can be. “Useless” perfectly captures the absurdity of memecoins themselves: everyone knows there’s no inherent value, yet we still speculate because the spectacle is half the fun. The ...

[Music] Good evening. There's a guy in this room called Paulo Lumala. He's sitting at the back.So Paulo asked me, he challenged me. He said, "Climb Renzori and I was stupid enough to take up his challenge." And as it turned out, it was the most humbling experience of my life. When I arrived in the Renzoris, I found that the guides there, I think the most experienced one or the one who spoke any decent English was able to communicate effectively.I think was a primary school lever. And yet we found out very q ...

His journey isn’t just about chasing trends or going viral, it’s about preserving the soul of his roots through storytelling. Gaining fame in 2021 with the viral video “The Nosy Neighbor and the Bottle of Pesticide,” he chose not the flashiest topics, but familiar rural tales, playing multiple roles in one video to bring them to life. What made his work stand out was its raw humor, emotional truth, and deep connection to Vietnamese countryside culture. Among all his characters, Cụ Phến remains the most icon ...
