Inspirational Speaker who was this extreme sports dude who had had a couple of his limbs frozen off when he got stuck on a ledge on some mountain. It was weird. Software salespeople need to hear from someone who has had a long, successful and happy career in software sales, not from an overly optimistic, ex mountaineer. Some poor guy who arrived in the morning hoping to learn about better sales technique ended up going home worried about the blood flow to his extremities. Its not inspirational its confusing. And if the mountain was meant to be a symbol of lifes challenges, and the loss of limbs a metaphor for sacrifice, the software guys not going to get it, is heCos he didnt do an arts degree, did he He should have. Arts degrees are awesome. And they help you find meaning where there is none. And let me assure you, there is none. Dont go looking for it. Searching for meaning is like searching for a rhyme scheme in a cookbook you wont find it and youll bugger up your souffl. Point being, Im not an inspirational speaker. Ive never lost a limb on a mountainside, metaphorically or otherwise.

However, I have had large groups of people listening to what I say for quite a few years now, and its given me an inflated sense of self importance. So I will now at the ripe old age of 3. To echo, of course, the 9 lessons and carols of the traditional Christmas service. Which are also a bit obscure. You might find some of this stuff inspiring, you will find some of it boring, and you will definitely forget all of it within a week. And be warned, there will be lots of hokey similes, and obscure aphorisms which start well but end up not making sense. So listen up, or youll get lost, like a blind man clapping in a pharmacy trying to echo locate the contact lens fluid. Here we go 1. You Dont Have To Have A Dream. Americans on talent shows always talk about their dreams. Fine, if you have something that youve always dreamed of, like, in your heart, go for itAfter all, its something to do with your time chasing a dream. And if its a big enough one, itll take you most of your life to achieve, so by the time you get to it and are staring into the abyss of the meaninglessness of your achievement, youll be almost dead so it wont matter. I never really had one of these big dreams. And so I advocate passionate dedication to the pursuit of short term goals. Be micro ambitious. Put your head down and work with pride on whatever is in front of you you never know where you might end up. Just be aware that the next worthy pursuit will probably appear in your periphery. Which is why you should be careful of long term dreams. If you focus too far in front of you, you wont see the shiny thing out the corner of your eye. Right Good. Advice. Metaphor. Look at me go. Dont Seek Happiness. Happiness is like an orgasm if you think about it too much, it goes away. Keep busy and aim to make someone else happy, and you might find you get some as a side effect. We didnt evolve to be constantly content. Contented Australophithecus Afarensis got eaten before passing on their genes. Remember, Its All Luck You are lucky to be here. You were incalculably lucky to be born, and incredibly lucky to be brought up by a nice family that helped you get educated and encouraged you to go to Uni. Or if you were born into a horrible family, thats unlucky and you have my sympathy but you were still lucky lucky that you happened to be made of the sort of DNA that made the sort of brain which when placed in a horrible childhood environment would make decisions that meant you ended up, eventually, graduating Uni. Well done you, for dragging yourself up by the shoelaces, but you were lucky. My 3D Fish. You didnt create the bit of you that dragged you up. Theyre not even your shoelaces. I suppose I worked hard to achieve whatever dubious achievements Ive achieved but I didnt make the bit of me that works hard, any more than I made the bit of me that ate too many burgers instead of going to lectures while I was here at UWA. Understanding that you cant truly take credit for your successes, nor truly blame others for their failures will humble you and make you more compassionate. Empathy is intuitive, but is also something you can work on, intellectually. Exercise. Im sorry, you pasty, pale, smoking philosophy grads, arching your eyebrows into a Cartesian curve as you watch the Human Movement mob winding their way through the miniature traffic cones of their existence you are wrong and they are right. Well, youre half right you think, therefore you are but also you jog, therefore you sleep well, therefore youre not overwhelmed by existential angst. You cant be Kant, and you dont want to be. Play a sport, do yoga, pump iron, run whatever but take care of your body. Youre going to need it. Most of you mob are going to live to nearly a hundred, and even the poorest of you will achieve a level of wealth that most humans throughout history could not have dreamed of. And this long, luxurious life ahead of you is going to make you depressed But dont despair There is an inverse correlation between depression and exercise. Do it. Run, my beautiful intellectuals, run. Cod Soft Cod Soft Roe. And dont smoke. Natch. Be Hard On Your Opinions A famous bon mot asserts that opinions are like arse holes, in that everyone has one. There is great wisdom in this but I would add that opinions differ significantly from arse holes, in that yours should be constantly and thoroughly examined. We must think critically, and not just about the ideas of others. Be hard on your beliefs. Take them out onto the verandah and beat them with a cricket bat. Be intellectually rigorous. Identify your biases, your prejudices, your privilege. Most of societys arguments are kept alive by a failure to acknowledge nuance. We tend to generate false dichotomies, then try to argue one point using two entirely different sets of assumptions, like two tennis players trying to win a match by hitting beautifully executed shots from either end of separate tennis courts. By the way, while I have science and arts grads in front of me please dont make the mistake of thinking the arts and sciences are at odds with one another. That is a recent, stupid, and damaging idea. You dont have to be unscientific to make beautiful art, to write beautiful things. If you need proof Twain, Adams, Vonnegut, Mc. Ewen, Sagan, Shakespeare, Dickens. For a start. You dont need to be superstitious to be a poet. You dont need to hate GM technology to care about the beauty of the planet. You dont have to claim a soul to promote compassion. Science is not a body of knowledge nor a system of belief it is just a term which describes humankinds incremental acquisition of understanding through observation. Science is awesome.
