OT: Aaron Sorkin at SU commencement today....

Very enjoyable. I especially loved this paragraph:

"
And make no mistake about it, you are dumb. You're a group of incredibly well-educated dumb people. I was there. We all were there. You're barely functional. There are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups, but the screw-ups, they're a-coming for ya. It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb."

It's a great way of injecting humor and saying that none of us are just one thing. For the most part, we're all a simultaneous mish-mash of smart and dumb. It speaks very well to the nature of humanity.

I would love to have had someone like Sorkin speak at my graduation. Unfortunately, my class was treated to spewed b.s. from Jamie Dimon.
