Back in the Dark Ages at MIT there were no Commencement speakers. The students had earned the right to be there and not any third parties. Then somebody decided that they needed someone to tell the graduates something. Like actors who played floor cleaners at MIT in a grossly illogical drama. Then COOs of media companies. Now this year there is a You Tube personality!
You really cannot make this up. Instead of curing cancer, eliminating TB or the plague, we get a backwards wearing baseball hat "influencer" So "swimming in Jello" may be a pressing theoretical issue and not solving the genetics of breast cancer.
But this is a classic proto-Marxist approach, down grade everyone and then control them.
Imagine a parent who dumped a quarter million into the education having to sit while this "dude" tells people about being a video influencer. At some point the MIT Board should be asking themselves some questions.
