The broader issue, Moren emphasizes, is how these speeches revolve around the speakers’ own fame and self-importance, rather than offering genuine outward-facing wisdom to graduates.

The recurring theme is that celebrity speeches tend to focus on themselves, perpetuating narcissism rather than community or real leadership.
