It was beautiful and it still is; he wasn't able to do it in the end and lost the battle about 3 years later. But the high point of his truths remain in the talk, and his death only emphasizes them me.

Thanks for taking the time to add more animations to this great speech. It really helps drive the points home. I didn't even mind the music, though it would've been better without it.

If you haven't already tried your hardest, failed to respond as someone else would in your place, and haven't been devalued day in and day out for longer than you can remember -- you are still green. Green is a healthy meal.

Id say dont be arrogant about definetely knowing the outcome and try to get as informed as you can so you can be more aware of possible outcomes.

Great speech. No such thing as atheisms, just different Gods to worship.

IMHO, one of the greatest, most important speeches (essays) in the history of human thought. I listen to DFW's voice reciting this as often as I need to...so I won't completely forget to be conscious and aware in a world that constantly tries to put me into a coma. You have to take the red pill daily.

I just found this. I'm so happy I did. I use this speech every single semester as the first thing my Freshman college students in a critical reading and writing class take. I've used other audio's of Wallace giving the speech, but now I'm going to use this one! Thanks. Great job.

Why does every video on this speech have to include stupid music at some point in the video?!

Fair question. So, make one without "stupid" music. But you might want to be clear about what you mean by "stupid". It's not a very descriptive word...all it means is you don't like it. Who gives a shit what you like? That's not an insult but seriously what about it makes it "stupid"? I agree there are places I would have made different choices but stupid tells me nothing.

This is a brilliant video to accompany David Foster Wallace's brilliant commencement speech! Most or all of the other videos with this same soundtrack show only one photo of David Foster Wallace. Thank you, Learning to Care, for understanding and caring so deeply about the profound content in this speech that you took the time to find or create and string together this video's hundreds of images. They helped me stay attentive, which, of course, is the #1 message of the speech: To choose to pay attention to what's actually happening in every moment of our existence.
