Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's Commencement Address at Western New England University 

W@W!!!

Learn Math, Geometry , Biology , Psychology , Physics and Physiology and taxation to cope with life's problems

You can pay me billions and I can guarantee you that I can buy all those people including Neil deGrasse Tyson to come and re-do it just for you, and I will still be left with hundreds of millions if not billions of profit :D

I was in it!!! This was definitely my graduation ceremony :)

While we don't have an exact head count, there would have been approximately 5,000 people in attendance.

Awesome

1Rebone it appears to me that he was simply meaning you can "argue" that KAT is a better spelling than CAT.

A wonderful man, we all agree? A genius!

@@rebonex yes

How was that a slip of the tongue...? Wish I could post the gif of the dude watching "The Point" fly over his head and out of frame lol. He meant that one could argue that kat is actually a better spelling that cat because k is always pronounced "k" - a hard 'k' sound - whereas a beginning 'c' is sometimes pronounced as an "s" sound, whereas nobody could argue that XRQ or whatever it was could actually be a better pronunciation; then he backed this up by pointing out that dictionaries offer the phonetic spelling of "kat", and if someone didn't have the language and all of its spellings memorized, they would be safer/more likely to definitely be correct, or at least ensure that someone read the word correctly, in guessing kat than cat.

Well good thing nobody came here to talk about race.....except this one guy....

Whicker Friesian its not about instant gratification. Its about cheesy music added to video. Spoils the video.

Whicker Friesian yeap. Its a good speech i agree. 😃

Could you elaborate on those fallacies?

Or perhaps more education from the OP..? Wouldn't even cross ones mind to assume that perhaps any misunderstandings might be on the end of the one who hasnt been earning a doctorate per year since..forever? Also, please look up the definition of "fallacy" before posting anything else. 😆

Apparnetly the gist is not understood. A fallacy has no clarifications that can make it better, its a fallacy. Expanding upon a mistaken belief doesnt make it any more correct. Nothing he said was fallacy. I was honored to be graduating at the same ceremony as Neil Degrasse Tyson and his speech was brilliant.
