Nine Life Lessons

Here’s a commencement address given by Australian comedian/intellectual Tim Minchin.  He says he’s not an inspirational speaker, but in fact, it’s hard not to be inspired.

Not to give anything away, but he shares my existentialist view of human life, i.e., that we live in a cold and dispassionate universe that is utterly devoid of concern for us.  Our lives have no meaning, but that doesn’t mean we’re condemned to purposelessness and the listless sense of dissatisfaction that accompanies it.
