Hello, I'm Jared Carlson, a senior management major. My question is, if you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
One superpower? Bill, you think more about that than I do. I don't know, extending one's lifetime would be a reasonable thing. Yeah, I'll take notes if you have anything to say on that.

And just think of— I mean, he, he— I probably wasted 10 years reading slowly.
