Came here after I saw so many Duke students burying this speech on Yik-Yak. haha
He started off pretty well but then he just went on and on with the inside jokes. By the time he got to the serious part of his speech, nobody was still listening!
srw You mean to tell me there was a serious part in that speech?
Christopher Hurt Snippets here and there.
This was so inappropriate for a commencement speech... especially DUKE'S commencement speech. The Class of 2015 deserved much much better.
Dr Farmer is clearly a top scientist. His talents do not lie, however, in public speaking. He struck a tone of condescension, often mocking his audience. I had hoped for a tight-knit speech with a real message. Instead, this was a rambling address that fell flat.
Abetterworld Students do applaud anything. The vast majority are vapid ass kissing morons, and these are the people I don't want in charge of specific areas of importance in my country in the future. Students are the last people that should be brown nosing.
Descansa en paz querido Dr Paul Farmer ♥️🇵🇪🇵🇪
Yeah I thought it was going to be good when he started out, and then it just became cringe-worthy
In a town called Mirebalais, in Haiti’s Central Plateau, she met another volunteer, an American named Paul Farmer, who had recently graduated from Duke with a degree in medical anthropology. Their upbringings were starkly different: Farmer was raised, with five siblings, in a bus in a Florida campground. (They joked that Farmer had grown up looking for diners where kids eat free, while Dahl went to places where kids eat Brie.) But they had the same yearning to improve the lives of the poor. Excerpt from New Yorker 12/18/17
Selfless individual who in my mind can do no wrong. Probably did more genuine work then all the other commencement speakers combined for the past 10 years.
Well said!
I attended this graduation and I'm still astounded by how horrible this speech was.
Classic egomania, just like the rest of that school.
ForestBugStudios How many Duke grads have you met? One? Two? Three maybe?
When you draw conclusions based on such a small sample size you only make yourself look incredibly foolish.
I stumbled upon this just today -- obviously far past when it took place. After hearing it I went looking for a transcript, only to find the numerous 'displeased student' links about how they felt they deserved much more.. To that, I'd say you aren't hearing correctly... while yes, I get it -- the jokes of the likes that those well educated in history and medicine may not have been received, to discredit the message of the speech and to say so much more is deserved is utterly ludicrous. Perhaps synthesizing information from long speeches is not a strong trait of many in the younger populations - I lie on the outskirts of millennials, graduating college from OSU in 2011, but the message of this was strong, honest, and serious, not to mention filled with gratitude for Duke in what it offered Dr. Farmer to where he stands today.. if you did not hear that, from an outside perspective, it is not due to the fault of him as the speaker, but yourselves as a listener.
