Tom Hanks cryptic video.

This has to be one of the weirdest video on the web, of all time. Watch it once, then read the script below.

I am here to say congratulation congratulation you the chosen ones. And I’m calling you the chosen ones cause you have been chosen (pause) in many ways.

First by the temperament and discipline you lived by by the creative fires that lives inside of you and the … of your desires there is something about, all of you, in your upbringing and your background and your conscious memories and on-going mysteries, something that has driven you that complete your course and class and achieve your selected challenges and crossed the rubicon on your TIME there, your studies at Wright State. You succeed because of the aid and the love of others in your life without a doubt.

But. But succeeded mostly because you and you alone CHOSE to do so. You are the chosen ones.

You are the chosen one because of a faith unimated when you began at Wright state adventure you started. 

You started in the old times and the world before the great pandemic of 2020. You will talk about your earlier years of your life “Well that was BEFORE the COVID19”, “Well that was BEFORE the great pandemic”.

Part of your life will be forever identified as BEFORE, the same way other generation talked “well that was before the war or the internet or that was before Beyonce”. The World before will carry great weight on you.

Today is your graduation which is come, during, during the restructuring of time and science and of our own national will and worldwide common wealth.

You finished during the Great Reset, the Great Reboot. You’ve gone to student to graduate when more has been expected of you than just being an America. You had to be a responsable american. You had to be GOOD Americans. Good americans who make the sacrifice that had save life.

Now you will reference these past weeks [pause] for however there is more weeks to come, as DURING the pandemic, during the covid19, during the lockdown, during the quarantine, during the shelter-in-place.

Sometimes, if we all remain GOOD americans, you will continue on into the after, as in this was AFTER the virus was tamed, after we were safe to go out again, after we took our probable lives once more. 

But your after is not going to look the same as your during or as your before. You will have seen the movie and know how it ends. You’ll be enlightened in ways your degree from right state never held in promise. You will have made it through the time of great sacrifice and great need and no one will be more fresh to the task of restarting our measure of normalcy than you, you chosen ones.

You have not returned to the starting line like all of us generations before you. You’re just approaching it now for the first time. You’ve just arrived. You are chosen in that way. To enter the competition of life just when so many have had to recover and refresh and restart and reawaken. and to retake up the hard work and the uncheckable responsabilities of making the world no only our own but of your own.

Every class of every yer moves up into the rotation and proves their value by living their values but this class your class isn’t just doing work that has to be done you’re joining in! the work that has to be done 

you chosen ones are going to form the new structures and define the new realities and make the new world, the world after, all that we have been through and after your time here in the finals years, the final weeks at Wright State.

And the future is always uncertain but we who celebrate what you have. who celebrate all of your achievements we are certain of one thing on this day: you will not let us down. Thank you, congratulations, way to go.

“Restructuring of times”.

“Chosen ones”.

“New World”.

“New Structures”.

“Great Sacrifice”.

Why does it feel so dystopian?

Cheers,
