it's easy to forget that other people have feelings and emotions and their own struggles to tend to

try to keep them in mind before you act like an asshole

that's right, just the same, tired golden rule spelled out in a new, artsy way

He meant to check em

Why do normies love this speech so much? I know people who don't read know it.

just take LSD, boy

He did a speech where he talked about a goldfish bowl with some goldfish in it and they were talking goldfish and one day one of them said to two other ones that the water is good today and then this seemed to confuse one of the goldfish because it became apparent that he did not realise that he was swimming in water which I suppose is quite poignant because the reality is that goldfish probably don't realise they are swimming in water they probably call it something else as they don't speak any of the human languages. I think the point is that you are meant to think about the air a bit more and maybe come up with your own word for it and realise that other people aren't as stupid as you think they are because they've also probably thought about water and air at some point in their lives.

It's good for college kids, they think they're smarter than anybody without a degree. College only reinforces this, it's good to enjoy people.

You are at your smartest immediately after leaving college it's been proven

I believe he meant that your perception of the world around you is as invisible to you as water is to a fish.

I do wonder, though, who would be charged with such a boring study. Ah, let's have the useless interns we just recruted out of college take care of it, get them out of our hair for a little while...

Is not just that

>just the same, tired golden rule
That's exactly the fucking point. It's something we all "know" on a surface level, but the challenge and work of life is to be aware of this knowledge and act on it especially when it's least convenient or gratifying. I gather you haven't read Infinite Jest because this was a very common theme in that book: finding meaning and inspiration in the banal and cliched.
