This isn't actually a Stuff You Should Know episode—it's a commencement speech delivered by Josh Clark (one of the SYSK hosts) to the class of 2020 during the pandemic. In his address, Clark encourages graduates to think critically about the incomplete truths people present to them throughout life, whether from media, government, friends, or family. He uses the metaphor of "weeds" and "flowers" to help graduates distinguish between what's genuinely beneficial and what might harm others, emphasizing that recognizing truth takes effort but isn't worth being paranoid about everything. Ultimately, Clark reminds the class that while every human is special and unique, this shared humanity means we should approach others with understanding while remaining vigilant about injustice.
