Speech didn’t stop being powerful. We just needed technology to show us again. Now every voice is a broadcast. Every post a ripple. Every word carries energy that can reach people we may never meet—and affect lives we’ll never touch. You speak—and something happens. Not just in your phone. Not just online. But in someone else’s nervous system, imagination, identity. You shape reputations. You alter trajectories. You train the culture around you in what to expect.
