   "The best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest. Empathy and compassion are evolved states of being."

   This is the speech of the year. I've always found it remarkable how easy it is to hate – it's a primal emotion that often comes from ignorance and requires no intellectual effort.
