One of the Greatest Commencement Speeches Ever

YouTube ^ | Oct 6, 2017 | Dr Rick Rigsby Cal Maritime Commencement Ceremony 2017 Commencement Speaker, Dr Rick Rigsby

[Robert DeLong]

This is the greatest commencement speech ever.

I was thinking of ‘Ego’ in more-or-less the Jungian sense.

(I think that Rand was dangerously full of sheer Ego. There has to be a balance, and I don’t think that Rand ever achieved it. It’s sad, because she was so mentally brilliant. But she was stunted in a lot of other ways.)

My husband makes my breakfast every day.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Is that you, Victor?

[Robert DeLong]

I must confess I thought you were referring to the commencement speech. 8>)

I should see who you are responding to rather than what your response is before responding back, LOL. That's why I didn't see the connection or similarities. My very bad. Now I fully understand that you were comparing the Pericles Funeral Oration to the Gettysburg address. Thus I can see the similarities, finally. 8>)

LOL!

I think Freud was a pretty neurotic guy who had an obsession with a very simplistic notion of the ‘sex’ drive.

Libido is a lot bigger and more all-encompassing than just ‘sex’ - as sex is generally understood.

Great speech! Son-in-law is enrolled there now and I will definitely share this video with him.

Thank you for posting. Excellent.

Not what I expected it to be by the introduction.

Thanks for the recipe. It took me a year to finally learn how to consistently make good sunny side up eggs. I’m working on omelets now. I’m probably a decade away from trying a cheese soufflé

[Jamestown1630]

Making it like Pepin’s mother’s recipe results in a ‘sturdy’ souffle, and is almost foolproof. I almost never do the separate/whip/fold anymore.

[be-baw]

The recipe looked easy. Maybe I’ll try it if and when I have someone to share it with.

[Library Lady]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[boatbums]
