The Limits of Language Are the Limits of Our World
My name is Artem. Today I want to talk about a topic that I find both fascinating and deeply personal. The title of this lecture is “The Limits of Language Are the Limits of Our World.” More broadly, I want to talk about the hypothesis of linguistic relativity—what it is, how to understand it, and why it matters. The idea for this presentation came up when Roma once talked about doing a presentation on the alphabet. That discussion made me think: instead of letters, why no

How Pharaohs Were Buried, What “Mummification” Really Did, and Why the Afterlife Was Treated Like a High-Security Journey
The speaker starts from the common cliché: “Egypt is the land of pyramids; pharaohs were buried in pyramids.” Then they immediately say that, during their trip, they learned the opposite—“there are no pharaohs in pyramids,” possibly “never were,” and “never will be.” That surprise becomes the hook for the real topic: where pharaohs were buried, and what the technology and belief-system of burial actually looked like. Fact-check note: “Pharaohs were never buried in pyramids”

The Television Industry and Its Technologies: From Studio to Screen
Introduction I have been preparing this presentation for a long time, trying to make it both technical and accessible to a general audience. I have worked in the television industry for more than sixteen years, starting in digital video and even earlier in security video systems in Israel. Over this time, I’ve been involved with television from both a technical and a business standpoint. Currently, I work in product management at an Israeli company, and previously, I spent th

Housing, Society, and the “Useless Class”
Introduction Good afternoon. It’s been a while since I last gave a lecture, and I wanted to share with you a journey I began a few years ago. Around 2020, I was looking for a theme for my graduation project in design. At that time, my life had already been intertwined with construction—I had a building company in Israel where we built several houses. That experience, together with my personal interest in architecture and social questions, led me to this project. At the same t

The History of Indian Motorcycles
Introduction: Why Indian? A friend of mine, a Harley-Davidson rider, once asked me: “Why did you choose an Indian motorcycle? Harley is legendary—everyone knows it, everyone rides it.” At that moment, I didn’t have a clear answer. I chose Indian because when I was searching, visiting various dealerships, I simply liked the Indian model I eventually bought. There was also a technical detail: Indian motorcycles have a slightly lower center of gravity, making them easier to hand

History of China
Today we’re giving a presentation on the history of China. All credit for preparing the presentation belongs to my brother—he approached the material thoroughly and did the bulk of the work. I only took a small part, and together we decided to present everything in an interesting and interactive way. At the start, I’d like to quote a well-known phrase attributed to Napoleon: “When France decides…,” and we’ll mention that joke today. I also remember an anecdote from childhood:
