The dominance of English as a global language is accelerating the extinction of other languages, with one disappearing every 14 days. This creates barriers that prevent brilliant minds from sharing ideas unless they pass costly language tests. Stories of lost indigenous knowledge and overlooked talent show how equating intelligence with English fluency narrows opportunity and innovation. Reviving translation and valuing all languages can open doors to untapped discoveries.
