The room fell into stunned silence. Some gasped. Some applauded. Others debated furiously online.
In the minutes that followed, news outlets erupted. Twitter, Instagram, and global forums lit up with praise, criticism, and endless commentary. Delap’s words were dissected by pundits, philosophers, and politicians alike.
