One of The finest commencement speeches.
« on: June 09, 2019, 09:44:53 pm »
This is from 2017 but I only found it today.

If you have 26 minutes....watch it.  You will not be disappointed.  It is the long version.

I have had the opportunity to hear a fair number of commencement speeches and will assure you that I've never heard a better one.

I don't think many will spend the 26 min to listen. But, if they do.. it will be worth it.   :beer:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
