Or: How We Learned to Stop Pretending and Start Arguing with the Future There’s a new ritual happening at college graduations. Not the tossing of caps.

There are few sentences in American life more powerful than: “Don’t worry, I know a guy.” That sentence built half the suburbs, most restaurant patios, three suspicious basement bars, and at least one deck currently being held together by optimism and lag bolts.
