In this brief spoken segment, the speaker recounts a personal crisis in which they lost their innate ability to speak. They describe the scenario of standing on a podium before a massive audience of 500,000 people, intending to deliver a talk with 100 ideas prepared. However, when they begin, the words become trapped in their mouth and fail to emerge. The audience first reacts with amazement, then shock, and ultimately leaves the auditorium empty. The speaker frames this experience as a defining moment in their life, highlighting the profound impact of sudden speech loss on their personal and professional existence.

The purpose is bizarrely simple. Imagine you want to talk, you want to address a large audience, say 500,000 people. You are on a podium and you want to talk. You have 100 things in your head. And people know that, yes, this is going to be a genetic talk. And the moment you start speaking, words are trapped in the mouth, words are not coming out. First people look at you amazed, then probably shocked, and probably they will leave the auditorium. Without anything. And that was my life when I lost my natural speaking ability.
