The language of being human | Poet Ali

Right now I'm speaking the speechless language ... This TED Talk is art

*He is brilliant.* One of the most captivating people I've ever watched, communicating the most important ideas. So glad I found this TedTalk!

[@vis_6916]

It’s amazing how all TED Talks need language in order to be communicated, and he communicated so effectively & gently. I love this one!

[@VipassiJani]

Me too

Most the girls in the world are complaining about it, Most the poems in the world have been written about it, Most the music on the radio is hitting about it, kicking about it, or ripping about it, Most the verses in the game people are spitting about it, Most the songs in the world people are talking about it, Most the broken hearts in the world, I know, are walking without it, started to doubt it, or lost without it, Most the shadows in the dark have forgotten about it, Everybody in the world would be tripping without it, Every boy and every girl would be dead without it, struggle without it, nothing without it, Most the pages that are filled are filled about it, The tears that are spilled are spilled about it, The people that have felt it are real about it, A life without it would be lost, When I'm in it and I feel it, I am shouting about it, Everybody in the whole world knowing about it, I’m hurt and broke down be flowing about it, going about it wrong, because I didn’t allow it, Can’t a wound or scar heal without it, Can’t the way that you feel be concealed about it, Everybody has their own ideal about it, dream about it, appeal about it. So what’s the deal about it? Are you about it? To know that life is a dream and unreal without it? Everything that you feel is surreal about it, But I’m just a writer, what can I reveal about it?” Poet Ali

Thank you!

Definitely one of my fav Ted Talks....

🤝

[@VipassiJani]

Agree

[@tvbrain22]

the way this guy speaks is like listening to a song. when i am home by myself i turn on this speak to put as background noise. so comforting

[@Kookie-zv4bu]

It's been such a long time since a ted talk has made me cry

[@iderie4834]

pu**y ahh 😂😂 ted talk made you cry

[@xComfortIsAMysteryx]

♥️ Your melodic style of speaking gave me chills. Such a great message.🦋

[@dua_junaid]

Ikr he was captivating to watch!

[@vis_6916]

Amazing Ted Talk! Definitely one of the best!

[@peghume201]

As soon as he said “the second you recognise it feel free to stand” I just knew it would be about cancer. The journey of cancer is one of the most horrible journeys anyone could go through. My mum battled and lost 2 years ago. My heart goes out to everyone who has battled with that ❤

[@emaffett]

Poet Ali, heard and understood! Your "It" is so simple even a child could understand (another language). Beautiful. Just beautiful! Thank you.

[@nathanvanveen3412]

This was so emotionally strong, tears starting dripping from my eyes...

[@Lil-pl1dt]

Wow, from a lover of learning new languages this really opened me to a new perspective. One of the best ted talk I've ever seen

[@adrianr108]

Why are there still wars on Earth when there's this kind of wisdom available?

[@murduck8798]

It's called money

[@flyingpotatoe1299]

Because not everybody grows up safe

[@alohahejahe___]

because it’s just a speech, not real life

[@davidlloyd6726]

It is so rare for someone to introduce a new paradigm; a way of looking at things that has not been expressed. Ali does this so well here. Not only does he use language masterfully, but he has changed the way I look at interaction.

[@AyubuKK]

This speech is brilliant. I was only watching it to complete an assignment, but this speech is pretty amazing.

[@latote1917]

He did the same talk in 2014... but whenever I listen to the last part of the talk... my heart melts

[@karlchandran4631]

Language and communication is what drives us in life. Whether it is done with the use of a tongue, a touch of the hand, a look of the eye. That is the beauty of language. Language has the ability to allow connection to take place. To have a language is to possess a soul. Commonality is achieved when communication takes place. This video was a pleasure to watch!

[@getachoterrefe5356]

Breath-taking speech. Maybe the best speech I have ever seen on Tedtalk.

[@lenguyendieulinh5902]

This is one of the most wonderful talks I've ever watched at TED. He is beyond brilliance.

[@vajeehabidi]

Is it normal to watch a Ted talk repeatedly for 7 ,8 times and still can't have enogh of it?. I am sure I need a Ted talk for my addiction to Teds. Absolutely love the brilliance this man Ali exudes with his sheer depth, originality and eloquence.

[@oseprifaldy6009]

That precious speech made me more openminded how Important to learn about many languages

[@kaypeeinfired9041]

Absolute brilliance just shining through him. The compassion, the emotion, the resilience, the patience, the knowledge and the open mindedness that he exhibits here is breathtaking. Cried and my heart felt very full throughout! Exceptional human being!

[@zsaemp3996]

This is probably the best Ted Talk I've ever heard.

[@MrDDNichols]

One of the best... videos, not TED talks, VIDEO... I have ever watched. Completely engaging and interacting while keeping the message clear and concise.

[@narrativegatherer3128]

Man, I remember when I saw his TEDx talk. It's great that TED asked him to repeat his great TEDx talk.

[@DaAwsumDude]

By FAR my favourite Ted Talk. Poet Ali is an eye-opener.

[@bogitruth]

a brilliant polyglotic poet of the heart Thank you Ali, you are an inspiration that we can alway learn a new language!

[@GhostDogg07]

This was one of the most impressive things i have watched someone doing! What an emotional rollercoaster- this was so real it almost hurts. Thank you Poet Ali for giving us this!

[@YourSpeakingJourney]

I’m so glad Poet Ali is finally getting recognition here. Brilliant.

[@jonathandavis8503]

You made me laugh, cry, and spit all while watching this. I enjoyed your presentation of language and learning! I physically am able to speak 4 languages (english-primary, Spanish-secondary, and Pashto/Farsi). Now I understand that I speak a multitude of languages than previous assessed.

[@salimaa9209]

What's Pashto/Farsi

[@jonathandavis8503]

@@salimaa9209 its Arabic. Mostly spoken in Afghanistan.

[@abdolamunir8287]

Amazing speaker. Loved the way he articulated the feelings and experience of aspects of life.

[@weiduochen6139]

One thing I found very interesting is normally only people who speak 'the same language' can become friends together,there are some people,even if you speak English together, you find it difficult to communicate each other,This is because you don't have the same experience or 'language' at all,You speak English but you have nothing in common,that is why we need to learn more 'languages' to really know the world. BTW,as a early childhood teacher,one of the important things I've found is that when you're talking to a child, you have to speak 'the child's language',they're not naughty,they just don't understand what you're talking about.

[@angelaujunwa]

He speaks melodically!! Beautiful speech!

[@mohamededbey]

Okay, Its been awhile since I've watched TED. I'm very glad to return to TED by watching this masterpiece. This is one of the best TED talks I've ever watched 😊.

[@tingalayo6130]

Mr Ali, I don't know if your first name is Poet, because if it is, at least in English it is an unusual name. That said, if it is, your parents were insightful beyond measure because you are indeed a poet. As a bow to a violin string, my being resonated to your words. It was a privilege to listen to you. I am in your debt. Montreal, Canada.

[@sannejooni6042]

This needs more people watching and listening. I’m going to search him up now bc wow

[@HermoineU]

this topic really suits the happenings in ur world due to the pandemic that is happening, this will open each and everybody's heart, mind and soul.

[@LoneWombat2126]

Incredibly moving...touched everyone in the audience (there or on KZbin).

[@haplemaple]

What a phenomenal Ted Talk. Genuinely caught me in his grasp from the beginning to the end of his presentation which turned into a conversation 👏

[@harshitapriyadarshi9886]

How succinct ... applauds for the man

[@knowble8656]

One of those languages, I felt years ago with the uncle who helped raise me. And I recognized it immedietly when he started talking about it. This talk was amazing.

[@JessWicked]

Thank you for sharing your message, ‘It’ moved me & touched my soul. Without a doubt you spoke a language that reaches many and more importantly will lead many of us to contemplate ourselves, our IT.

[@sandimoeoo832]

The Ted Talk is just beyond my idea. Its really something which always makes me to explore and recreate my own thoughts.

[@pipitipopiti9534]

Deeply grateful of all the experiences in life that shape and make us share the same language of heart, soul, spirit, human beings...our lives would be very flat if not. Thank you for this insightful talk. 🌻🌻🌻🐝🍯♥️

Simply mesmerizing and amazing. Absolutely loved every bit of 14 minutes 55 seconds.

[@maryapolot4754]

This morning I had what I refer to as a great conversation with a very close friend about "language" but at that moment while we interacted more than ever did it occur to me how much I value universality when I comes to language. Because I believe that language goes beyond words, so much to the extent that I have a discomfort being "identified" with particular "spoken languages"...... . I still hope that whenever I speak to anyone, ...that I can communicate and connect even when we don't speak the same language

[@reynaldobalawag624]

Wow! Just a wow! What a goosebumps when you say "it" ❤️. You nailed it sir. 😊👏

[@allenecassagnol9341]

This one “spoke” to me. ❤️

[@troythegreat7369]

Being able to speak 4 different languages is pretty amazing. I am still learning a little here and a little there of Spanish-my second language.

This is so interesting - he SHOWS us the 'language' instead of just saying it - sooo meaningful. My favorite though was the "text love letter" and the poem. So talented :)

This talk is enlightening. Hope we can speak 'that' language.

[@Ty921]

This is probably one of the stronger Ted Talks posted for awhile. The poem/rap at the was really good. Could be one of those things you'd read off a short story or poem in Middle/High school and be judged.
