You know what's more disgusting than blind optimism, like the young hopefuls in the video? Real cynicism. Like the cynics that got voted up to top comments on this video.
There's nothing wrong with hoping for a better future for all people.
Do all of the people in this video actually care about the state of the world? Probably not, but I'm sure that at least some do. What gives anyone else the right to take a shit all over their "idealism"? If more people encouraged the ideas presented here( i.e. unity, equality, and social justice) instead of going to incredible lengths to shoot them down, perhaps things would change.
one of the biggest lies of the century "were all in this together"
then why is it the greatest advancements in human history were done by individuals who possessed a quality of courage, daring and genius that the pig population with their heard mentality could never accomplish
the only thing group think is for is to control the pigs until the day of slaughter
@doozyboody21 These kids just finished their second round of high school and think they are so well equipt to make a change in the world. They are also complete hypocrits, expecting freedom and openness but attended one of the most closed minded universities in the world.
enjoy your ignorance kids, a year in the real world will give you an outlook just like the rest of us, which will be to hopefull eek out enough of a living to hopefully get some rest one day, ALLLLLLL this bullshit about world peace and what not, hahah, not very realistic
I really like this guys. Instead of talking about shallow things like getting a job or getting married, they are talking about changing the world. This shows how enlightened they are and credit goes to berkeley for bringing them up in an awesome intellectual enviroment.
Since when did communism accomplish anything? Like the
chinese steal technology from the country they hate. Like the Russians that want to kill the country they hate. Like the liberals that shut you down because you don't think like they do. They claim equality as long as it is their type. they claim negotiation and open mindedness as long as it is negotiated their way and open to their ideas - no dialog or discussion. Idealism is great but put it to good use not this bullshit.
@fweeeew your comment was retarded other than the spelling mistakes and bad grammar it has nothing to do with video, and how does someone earn their wealthy? lol you retard.
@MrGrevy That's a typical selfish answer. You are stealing other nations' resources for your own benefits, That's a big American problem my friend (Survival of the fittest is rejected by Civility). That is not Fair (if you are considering the Human aspect of it!). You are not better that an African Man. If you were in Africa, you will do just the same, the big powers are blacking the weakest from development. And don't be too optimistic about America, cos it's Asia's turn now.
@benmoro if africans were in the same position right now they would do the same without batting an eye. Just like my nation china and other asian countries are gonna be surpassing u americans economically and standard of living and are currently stealing away all you yankees jobs. we have no pity at all for doing this.
@mistapiccolo Yes, it is commonly known that the new Asians are wicked, as any other civilization at its rise. With that "No pity" custom to u guys have, I can easily see the future atrocities that ur army wouldn't mind doing in order to secure resources and block the west (or exterminate it). I hope ill die before seeing that day.
In the end only the strongest peoples survive if you look at nature. Thats why i know china has a bright future and u americans future is nothing but one of welfare, financial dept, and unemployment.
@benmoro There is some truth to that. However, it's the multi nationals' fault not the american peoples' fault. America is on the wrong path, but it will be fine with the right leadership and some restrictions on corporations and bank practices imo. It would be nice if we stopped sending aid to these ungrateful countries though, as it never does any appreciable good. South africa is just a disaster and they starved after killing the white farmers...so I don't have much sympathy there.
@MrGrevy The under developed countries (including Africa) is not in need of US help. All what they need, is to let them deal with their problems on their own. All d issues that those countries have, are post-colonial consequences. Do you really think that d US is sending Money to African countries (dictatorships) to help? There is no morality (pity) at the international level. Now China is pushing hard to gain African notoriety over d west. D game will always be d same, only players change.
@MrGrevy Trolls like you are such a sad joke. So much anger at Berkeley graduates with their entire lives ahead of them and a world that will welcome their intelligence and capabilities, which, more than familial wealth or reputation, earned their diplomas, while you sit idly regretting an existence wasted in the darkness of your mom's basement. Poor little guy. Get a hobby. Better yet, get a life. Start now and you might even be able to compete with my dog for a cashier job at McDonalds.
@HPAndranix You seem to have a problem with projection my angry friend. I assume since you are super duper smart you know what that is. Your comments are as fascinating as they are disturbing. I am thinking you may be a bit unstable or have a borderline personality. I do hope you get help and I pray for your victims.
@MrGrevy You seem to have a problem with your position on Berkeley graduates. You'll attack people's comments celebrating them, then drop all substantial arguments in favor of ad hominem attacks when I call you out. I'll assume that since you figured out youtube, you can also use google to figure out what that is. You have still refused my request for an example of an influential person from the "real world". You can't stand up for your own opinions. If I were religious, I would pray for you.
@HPAndranix Well I would say that there are many influential people from the "real world". Jane Addams, Martin Luther King Jr., Oprah...there are innumerable people from humble beginnings who became influential. Did you not think there were? Maybe I'm not understanding how you define the real world.
@MrGrevy Martin Luther King Jr. was an incredible academic who entered college at 15, then got degrees in sociology, divinity, and theology. I think those can count as what you deemed "worthless" degrees. Oprah got a full ride scholarship from TSU studying communication and, as you can see from her stances on pretty much everything, is idealistic and liberal. Jane Addams was financially privileged. She learned about the poor from reading Charles Dickens, and her father got her into school.
Realization of the reality that is the world. Have an effort to change the lives of your neighbor for the better. Stop thinking big picture. Small movements impact the greater. You don't need to live in a white house to change the world.
@MrGrevy They, and in four years, I, will be the people making a difference in the world, uncovering the mysteries that propel the earth's rotation, leading the great social changes of the 21st century. Taking what we learn at Cal and applying it to the "parasite professions" that make the world better for your plebeians, while you will be taking up your dear old mum's bandwidth attacking the educated minority with the fame you envy, and the skill you need. Sad.
@HPAndranix The Earth's rotation? Good lord you sound like a moron. Yes we really need more banking scandals and class action lawsuits! What would we do without them improving our lives? You actually believe that? And fame? Graduating college makes you famous? What an utterly bizarre comment.
@MrGrevy The fame comment was a reference to Lord Byron's Don Juan you limey illiterate skunk. You can't even spell "plebeian" correctly when it's sitting right in front of your myopic eyes. "Trust fund turds"? They're Cal people, not a bunch of Harvard legacies. Better learn a little about the system you're bashing. Good lord you sound like a moron taking little snippets of a conversation and responding without noticing that I'm responding to your inane comments.
@MrGrevy I will remind you, again, that you have failed to provide me with an example, deciding to resort to ad hominem attacks rather than arguing intelligently. But now that I think about it, you're right. If all of us went to London Community College and learned to semi-eloquently attack our superiors over the internet like you, the world would be a much better place. Forget ending the recession and finding a cure for cancer, everyone should endeavour to be just like you.
But I agree, they are very privileged because, regardless of which ranking scheme you use, whether it's the Newsweek rating system, Jiao Tong University's, Washington Monthly, US News, etc. EVERYONE knows Berkeley is the best Public University on the Planet by far and most ratings place it in the top ten of ALL universities in the World. Yes, they are academically, perhaps even socially, privileged. But, as the stats evince, not economically (at least not at the outset).
Congratulations on creating a Straw Man. You didn't do a very good job, but ya did it. These kids go to the best Public University on the Planet. They are definitely privileged. But that privilege is of a different kind than what my comment was addressing. I was replying to someone who said these were silver spoon kids or something. There couldn't be a more erroneous comment. 1/3 Berkeley students receive Pell Grants. I believe that's the highest proportion in the nation.
@MrGrevy What you label "pre programmed talking points about equality and justice", I consider the highest possible standards for any person, educated or not. You have still failed to provide me with an example. There is also a difference between being educated and being a goofy brainwashed sheep spouting pre-programmed talking points that attack the educated for their enlightened position above the uneducated rabble that makes up the "real" world.
@MrGrevy You are sadly misguided if you believe that an education acts as a hindrance to greatness, as you suggest in your unsupported responses. Please give me an example of someone who didn't dream big and seem naive when they were young, who made a difference in the world. If any of the big influential figures of today had decided to lay down and "get a clue" about the harsh and unforgiving "real" world you expound, humanity would never progress.
How did I know what these do-nothing twits were going to say? Good lord it's as if their programming is the same everywhere. That affirmative action special whining about people not having anything...ugh. Feel free to donate YOUR money to try to solve the problem. Cross eyed dullard. These people are all worthless morons. "Women in politics"?? Yeah I think we've had an over representation of women in politics for about 50 years. Disgusting.
Make education mandatory. It is mandatory for being smart. Although human being are still the kind of animals (or beings--depending on which religion you follow) that only move upon being stimulated, they are also capable of acting out of their own will. Only education molds an enlightened human being. This is very needed for a peaceful world. We need more people who works with brains and less with feelings aimed only to self serve. Greed is not the only tool of evolution. Reason also is a tool.
Berkley! I'd Bet most of those young men are full of "SPUNK" and a lot of the chicks are carpet munching N.O.W. Cows who want more equality also as long as we in fly over country are paying for it! We Have Too Much? Come to Al Gores Tennessee, and see if the Appalachian people could meet your hopes and dreams for a great salary, My highest paying job was nearly $26,000 a year with a 40 mile commute great huh... Oh, sorry, I have Too much ! Thanks To Progressives and Liberals. OBAMA.plug yo hole!
In the future I want every person in the world to believe in Jesus Christ and be saved from their sins, go to heaven, and escape the future eternal lake of fire.
@fweeeew picture this: The US (and most of the ex-colonizers now called industrialized countries) have access and control 90% of the resources on earth. When you work hard in the US you become wealthy like yourself. But, when you work hard in a poor African country (Swaziland for instance) you'll barely be able to buy 1 lbs of rice to feed your family.
@fweeeew Sadly the education system must have failed you, or you're innately ignorant. Either way, if you're going to critique the #1 public university in the country, you might want to learn to speak English.
To you who condemn the optimism of these graduates and their "innocence" thinking that they can make a difference, because they've spent the last 17 years of their lives encased in an academic environment, fuck you. I defy you to find a major influential figure who was not isolated from the "real world". Presidents, politicians, global leaders, are all in a completely different class from us plebeians, and they're the ones who make the difference for the rest of us.
@fweeeew Well, unfortunately too many people in this country already feel like people should be responsible for everyone's actions. This is really a dead end street. People need to be responsible for their own actions and get their act together. I applaud you for working hard and becoming financially successful. I wish more people would do the same.
stop scarin me iam just a little poo poo pants nipplehead..with assy nipples in the sand...and dont forget abouth that uncut pizza u plopped on my head..and then u scared me and smeared jelly and mayonice all my feet ..and then my shoes fell of when u pushed me down the stairs..so stop pickin me..even through i run like a girl and sit down to pee..and my 13 year old cuzzin has less acne
Silver spoon? You either don't understand the term or you're pontificating about topics that you have absolutely no background or training in
1/3 Berkeley Students receive Pell Grants.
BTW, It doesn't matter which ranking scheme you use, whether it's the Newsweek rating system, Jiao Tong University's, Washington Monthly, US News, etc. EVERYONE knows Berkeley is the best Public University on the Planet and most ratings place it in the top ten of ALL universities in the World
i just wanna say i got a really big penis and can suck my own dick..and i farted extremly loud and shit came out ,,now its in my pants can anyone help me??

Ilike a future where the man next to me is not identified by its color, culture, nation but by what he is. I like a future where we all are equal and share the earth without needing to kill one another
@way2smart: you're absolutely right. The huge majority of the world's problems at this point can be linked to overpopulation. But it will never be politically popular enough to say that people need to take responsibility for not having so many children. Meh, over a half a million foster kids out there ready for adoption, but everyone wants one with their nose.
i want the us to start leading the world in the right direction by making some tough choices like limiting our population growth (capping our population - limiting the net effects of migration across the borders, domestic births, and domestic mortality to a zero sum), capping carbon emissions, and focusing on job creation (I haven't thought about the best strategies for that part); mostly we need to recognize that we are entering an historic phase where more people= lower average quality of life
@Way2Smart22 That sounds great, Hitler. Should we kill all the firstborn, Pharoah? Learn some history of how well this works, jackass. BTW, United States is CAPITALIZED, Chairman Mao.
@Way2Smart22 America's population is not really what I'm worried about. The populations of the Third World need to start learning how to use birth control. I hope it will never get to the point in America where we will need to pass laws like China has. We do need tougher immigration enforcement and stop the Political Correctness Crap. We need a Safer, Cleaner Environment. Oil Free, No Oil Spills, Electric, Wind, and Solar Energy. We also need to Seriously Fund NASA for the future.
This is so wonderfully encouraging. I hope these people remain optimistic and committed to making the world a better place. Go graduates of 2010!! Each one gives me so much hope for the future of the world.
Its encouraging to see, hear and feel the enthusiasm of these graduates. Despite the naysayers, I applaud their efforts and pray God grants them the necessary resources to make change happen. To all the haters...keep doing what you do. Friends support but haters motivate and give wings to the imagination of the truly determined. Peace and Blessings.
"More equality" demands the second bright young thing who got the mic stuck in her face.
If you're "black" and your SAT is 1270 chances are in the 90 percentile range that you will get into a major university. If you are "white" and at 1270 you have a 14 percent chance.
If you are "Asian" and scored 1270 your chances are 10 percent.
What's up with the hate comments, I think they're only jealous of those smart young students who have hopes and successful future waiting for them, if you think you're a smart-ass try to be better than them! LOSER!!
Wtf? What is up with all the pathetic and hateful comments towards these kids? Its probably from frustrated little pricks who couldn't achieve anything in there lives and hate on others who do. Lol get a life.
I want work for everyone who is willing to accept a job, no more unemployment, no more need for unemployment insurance, and health insurance for everyone.
I would love to hear if these new young professionals will be looking for lucrative careers now? Will you rate yourselves at the same financial means as the 'status quo' working class Americans or will you asapire to drive a BMW or Mercedes?
Perhaps start a business like I did 12 years ago and hope to make a good living? Own a nice home? Or do you aspire to be even with, or even believe that there can not be POOR people, middle class and the better off class or wealthy folks? Hmm, I'm sceptical
these comments are so depressing. people are actually hating on a video of hopeful, inspired students striving for equality, and comparing them to hitler? what is this world coming to
@Jerra49 I guess I could go to a competitive progressive school and "dream" of a better world or I could just make asinine comments to make myself feel better about myself.
what a worse place the world would be without the USA?
oh my god , what are you talking about , they just kids , i bet you are one of the those people whom call USA , America , why did some people just miss geography 101
They'll be executing all-new logistical paradigms by enabling the synergy to actualize their potential through directed decisions and consolidating connections to their spiritual, physical, and economic dualities to rethink the structure of the macrosystemic and microsystemic to defeat the forces of those given to loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution energized by obsolete patriarchical heirarchies.
I applaud the graduates sentiments, but I have to say I'm concerned for a generation that thinks texting is real communication rather than simply an exchange of information. I hope they'll take Ms. Shlain's advice and unplug and actually talk to each other to gain greater understanding. I also hope they'll first join Americorps/Peace Corps to see how the system we call the world works from the inside. Only through real observation and involvement will they be able to affect meaningful change.
I don't understand why there is so much negativity..,,lol. Congrats Berkley students, best of luck in your future endeavors. I love this optimism when there are so many who would give up so easily.
Haters = bitter individuals who probably don't have as much going on for them as these graduates
Graduate at 2:00 said it best, hoping "we just don't consume knowledge but are producers of knowledge."
Why are you guys hatin on these kids? They can succeed in wat ever they like I know it's not gonna be easy but just becuz u couldn't doesn't mean they cant
In the 1960s and 1970s I wanted the same things they want now. I am still working for those things. Although the right wing conservatives, big business, and organized religion continue to put down humanists, it's still worth the fight. Graduates, don't give up your ideologies. Make it happen! I'm glad to see that you want a better world. Don't be put off by cynicism and sarcasm.
As a former student (c/o 2008), I'm happy to see that the Berkeley spirit continues to live within all the students that walk through Sproul Plaza year after year. If the haters out there knew what hard work looked like, they would shut the hell up. My parents immigrated to the U.S. over 30 years ago & gave the little they had to my sisters & I so that we could get a good education. I often gave up having a social life to study or work or volunteer. & I still do, even though I don't have to.
i hope your dreams continue to flourish once your first sallie mae bill comes in the mail and you're still chasing butterflies in a daisy field. go forth, follow your dreams, you are the leaders of America!
You know what's more disgusting than blind optimism, like the young hopefuls in the video? Real cynicism. Like the cynics that got voted up to top comments on this video.
There's nothing wrong with hoping for a better future for all people.

Realization of the reality that is the world. Have an effort to change the lives of your neighbor for the better. Stop thinking big picture. Small movements impact the greater. You don't need to live in a white house to change the world.

@MrGrevy They, and in four years, I, will be the people making a difference in the world, uncovering the mysteries that propel the earth's rotation, leading the great social changes of the 21st century. Taking what we learn at Cal and applying it to the "parasite professions" that make the world better for your plebeians, while you will be taking up your dear old mum's bandwidth attacking the educated minority with the fame you envy, and the skill you need. Sad.

@HPAndranix The Earth's rotation? Good lord you sound like a moron. Yes we really need more banking scandals and class action lawsuits! What would we do without them improving our lives? You actually believe that? And fame? Graduating college makes you famous? What an utterly bizarre comment.
MrGrevy 1 year ago
@MrGrevy The fame comment was a reference to Lord Byron's Don Juan you limey illiterate skunk. You can't even spell "plebeian" correctly when it's sitting right in front of your myopic eyes. "Trust fund turds"? They're Cal people, not a bunch of Harvard legacies. Better learn a little about the system you're bashing. Good lord you sound like a moron taking little snippets of a conversation and responding without noticing that I'm responding to your inane comments.

@MrGrevy I will remind you, again, that you have failed to provide me with an example, deciding to resort to ad hominem attacks rather than arguing intelligently. But now that I think about it, you're right. If all of us went to London Community College and learned to semi-eloquently attack our superiors over the internet like you, the world would be a much better place. Forget ending the recession and finding a cure for cancer, everyone should endeavour to be just like you.

But I agree, they are very privileged because, regardless of which ranking scheme you use, whether it's the Newsweek rating system, Jiao Tong University's, Washington Monthly, US News, etc. EVERYONE knows Berkeley is the best Public University on the Planet by far and most ratings place it in the top ten of ALL universities in the World. Yes, they are academically, perhaps even socially, privileged. But, as the stats evince, not economically (at least not at the outset).

Congratulations on creating a Straw Man. You didn't do a very good job, but ya did it. These kids go to the best Public University on the Planet. They are definitely privileged. But that privilege is of a different kind than what my comment was addressing. I was replying to someone who said these were silver spoon kids or something. There couldn't be a more erroneous comment. 1/3 Berkeley students receive Pell Grants. I believe that's the highest proportion in the nation.

@MrGrevy What you label "pre programmed talking points about equality and justice", I consider the highest possible standards for any person, educated or not. You have still failed to provide me with an example. There is also a difference between being educated and being a goofy brainwashed sheep spouting pre-programmed talking points that attack the educated for their enlightened position above the uneducated rabble that makes up the "real" world.
HPAndranix 1 year ago
@MrGrevy You are sadly misguided if you believe that an education acts as a hindrance to greatness, as you suggest in your unsupported responses. Please give me an example of someone who didn't dream big and seem naive when they were young, who made a difference in the world. If any of the big influential figures of today had decided to lay down and "get a clue" about the harsh and unforgiving "real" world you expound, humanity would never progress.

Make education mandatory. It is mandatory for being smart. Although human being are still the kind of animals (or beings--depending on which religion you follow) that only move upon being stimulated, they are also capable of acting out of their own will. Only education molds an enlightened human being. This is very needed for a peaceful world. We need more people who works with brains and less with feelings aimed only to self serve. Greed is not the only tool of evolution. Reason also is a tool.

@fweeeew picture this: The US (and most of the ex-colonizers now called industrialized countries) have access and control 90% of the resources on earth. When you work hard in the US you become wealthy like yourself. But, when you work hard in a poor African country (Swaziland for instance) you'll barely be able to buy 1 lbs of rice to feed your family.

"More equality" demands the second bright young thing who got the mic stuck in her face.
If you're "black" and your SAT is 1270 chances are in the 90 percentile range that you will get into a major university. If you are "white" and at 1270 you have a 14 percent chance.
If you are "Asian" and scored 1270 your chances are 10 percent.
Is that what she means by "equality" ?

If the haters out there knew what hard work looked like, they would shut the hell up. My parents immigrated to the U.S. over 30 years ago & gave the little they had to my sisters & I so that we could get a good education. I often gave up having a social life to study or work or volunteer. & I still do, even though I don't have to.
