Interview with the speaker, Nick Selby, a sophmore in mechanical
engineering:
<> 6:33
He seems quite articulate and able to think well on his feet.
There are leaders and there are followers. The speaker in the video
clip is a leader, or at least a cheerleader. You are apparently a
follower.
So the little techie is going to "crush the shoulders of the [scientific] giants" eh? Kinda pathetic, unimpressive, narcissistic rant...
Lighten up. It was a great performance. Hell of an Engineer, I like that.

It was a lower brain function performance of interest to maybe behavioral psychologists and that's about it.

The guy *designed* that speech. I suspect he'll be a good ME, too.
The kid is cool.
Closed-form solutions are a quaint remnant of the last millenium. They are
basically useless in nonlinear systems, and the interesting systems are
nonlinear.

You're just a lower brain function kinda guy...
Yes, the interview is superficial. I would not expect Fox News to
interrogate him, or to dig deep into his past and beliefs in order to
produce an "in depth" interview. To his credit, he doesn't fall apart
with nervousness, doesn't appear to be faking anything, answers the
superficial questions directly, does not wander, is very polite, and
knows how to smile. We should all do as well.
Here's the rest of the speech, which includes 10 tips for success.
<> 6:48
I probably violated all 10 tips at one time or other (especially about
doing the laundry regularly). He also mentioned MATLAB and got some
applause.

Arianna Huffington is 63 years old and head of a successful company.
Nick Selby is perhaps 20 years old and has yet to even work for a
company. Her speech was to a more educated graduating class. His was
to a new freshmen class, less educated, and far less certain of their
destiny with perhaps half or more of those entering college dropping
out before graduation. Her speech was to give graduating seniors
direction. His was to give entering freshmen reassurance that they
were in the right place. Her 24 minute speech was from prepared
notes. His speech was 7 minutes and memorized. Her speech was to set
herself up as a living example of what the graduates can achieve. His
was to set the entering class as his friends.
Had her speech been to the Smith College entering freshmen, I suspect
they would have been confused by the references, lost by the topic,
and wondering what any of it had to do with them. Similarly, his
speech would have seemed trivial and juvenile to a class of graduating
seniors. It's amazing how much can change in 4 years of skool. I
would not expect equal quality or sophistication from such a disparity
in years, experience, target audience, and allowed time. Try again.

This just shows you only got half the ability to denigrate that you
half brother Phil does.
