Old Words, New World. A Dangerous Mismatch - Dr. Elan Barenholtz, DemystifySci #414

Language hums along in the background, ancient and confident, telling you it knows the shape of the world. But the world keeps moving, restless and unmapped, and the old words calcify into monuments nobody remembers building. The result is that physics, democracy, and the world at large suffer stagnation. Professor Elan Barenholtz and the DemystifySci duo wade into the drift, tracing how civilizations lose their minds one redefined word at a time, and what it takes to reground thought in a reality that won't hold still. The territory changed, and now we have to find new words to follow it home.
