"He said it was like going home."

I know I'm sort of late to the game on this one, but doesn't David Foster Wallace's suicide somewhat invalidate the point of his 2005 commencement speech? Or at least prove that he couldn't take his own advice? I mean, what good does it do to remind yourself that "this is water" if you're doing it while you're drowning

Thanks for posting this, Steve. I'd never read the commencement speech of his that you linked to, and, combined with the knowledge of his suicide, it was a really interesting and poignant read.

I'm gonna go play "Animal Crossing" now.
