Stanford is nestled in the very heart of Silicon Valley, a place of understated yet immense wealth and considerable gentrification. You can spend months here and not have "a poor person" register in your consciousness. It's like the whole place is geared towards making you forget that bad things exist in this world.

So unfortunately, a "hey guys, there's suffering in this world" kind of speech may just be appropriate for Stanford and the kind of people who will tune into its commencement.
