    For being positively inspirational, it is good, but you need to see the other side too.

  9. Randy Pausch admits he worked for the DOD on the killer toy machines that modern warfare uses to make people into dots on a screen. Modern warfare uses the same toys that brainwashed triggerhappy boys use at home.
    His lecture is a “headfuck” as he says himself, it shows his children the truth when they’re old enough to understand.

  14. Man I really need this attitude during the hard times in life. How can I be positive when others around me are negative, and I don’t feel too great about my current position in life. I wish I had Randy as a life coach lol.
