Some say there was too much profanity… I listened intently to every word. That speech captured me. I laughed, smiled and even teared up. But obscenity? Only one….. “Trump”.

Having Ronny as a speaker at Harvard is another reason I give credit to Harvard. An institution that can take a joke is an institution for me.

Reading between the jokes, sharp digs, and political and technological commentary, Ronny Chieng’s message seems genuinely encouraging: he is challenging a group of people with the power to shape society to pursue meaning, happiness, and the common good—not just the bottom line.
