Are We Cooked? How Social Media Shapes Language | Adam Aleksic | TED
Gen Z slang is rife with new words like “unalive,” “skibidi” and “rizz.” Where do these words come from — and how do they get popular so fast?

The Controversial Climate Tool Funding Real Change | Sandeep Roy Choudhury | TED
If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it’s the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who’s spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his…

7:51 surely we know black-pilled came from blue/red-pilled from The Matrix just like the term “woke” right? I think even the word incel might have originated after this happened, let alone the movement and recoloring their pill from red to black to separate from the “woke.”At least that was my understanding

I wasn’t going to post anything here, but something nudged me to. Maybe because I know what it’s like to be scrolling through comments, hoping for something to click some small sign that you’re not crazy for wanting more. For a long time, I was doing all the “right” things, but still feeling stuck. It’s like I could see the life I wanted, but couldn’t reach it. I didn’t have language for what I was missing until I found The Cancelled Laws of Reality by Selene Veritas. It didn’t force me into some flashy transformation it just helped me see how the laws behind reality actually work. It showed me how to stop forcing and start aligning. If that speaks to where you’re at, maybe this will find you like it found me.

To anyone reading this we’ve never met, but I genuinely hope the best for you. If you’re going through something right now, I get it. I spent years chasing goals but never actually feeling in control of the outcomes. I believed effort alone was enough… until I found The Cancelled Laws of Reality by Selene Veritas. That book opened my eyes to the real reasons things were stuck. Since reading it, not only has my income shifted my entire energy feels different. Life responds differently when you understand how it’s wired. If you’re seeing this, maybe it’s because something in you is ready. Wishing you peace and everything you’ve been waiting for ❤️❤️

“Unalive” is what we say now because America has desensitized children to violence and it is triggering to hear children constantly discuss how many “kills” they have on the game 🤮
Our brains are melting and it’s not the internet’s fault. It’s a user problem.

“Pilled” didn’t come from Incel groups. It came from the movie The Matrix – with the Red and Blue pill. Only “Black pilled” came from the Incel community.

“I don’t think we’re sliding into a dystopian 1984 scenario”; well of course not, 1984 is child’s play in comparison to the current day! George Orwell would never have guessed to what extent we’ve taken tracking individuals and how language is used in politics…

tbh, english speakers are pretty great with creating new words to avoid censorship. in my country, the equivalent censored version of “kill” is either “k.i.l.l” or whatever character look like it like “k1ll” or “k!ll”, most of the words I see talking about mental health is “44” (pronounced similar to “suicide” if you read it wrong enough in Vietnamese)
