Unicorns? Really? Yes! Well, that is to say, maybe. As Dustin explains his Meditations Upon Unicorns the lecture evolves into a “very, very serious discussion” about that which is and isn’t real, and how such things impact our mental-state, our emotional well-being, and our lives. You may not believe in unicorns, but it matters very little, for this lecture is inspiring for real! In celebration of National Mystery Month.
