Yeah, he's talking the same stuff I heard in 1990 at Hampshire
  College, 25 years ago, which to me *then* sounded old-fashioned
  talk, the era of the professors that were teaching. I didn't
  mind of course 'cause the school had no grades or anything and
  kissing a girl in an apple tree orchard who had just dropped
  LSD, leaving me tripping balls as I walked back to the computer
  lab, and trying to do IRC with the words blurring across the
  screen and my fingers melting into the green screen terminal was
  pretty awesome.
