The original article version of this video owes itself to two primary sources.

The first is Ken Robinson's fantastic TedTalk, 'Do schools kill creativity?'
https://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinso...

And the second is one I've brought up from time to time, David Foster Wallace's Kenyon College Commencement speech. I would link to it here but Kenyon College has been pretty active in taking down video versions of it (without posting one of their own, for some reason.) The original article version of this video contained a direct citation to David which I removed for the sake of the video's flow but put in a cut to his biopic, The End of the Tour, to try and give credit.

Also, the article version of this video was edited by my friends Toby and Nigel so thanks again to them.

Brainstorming for possible cuts in the video was done with the help of my most Canadian consultant, @defrostedrobot
