Thanks for fueling my unjustified superiority complex. I literally did nothing and you still found a way that allows me to feel smug about it.

My roommate has a class, part of his business major, where they have a new guest speaker every week. One of the speakers spent his first 20 minutes listing every failed communist state and proclaiming capitalism was the second coming.

Say what you want but this man could go on to be a powerful demagogue if he has the ambition for it. Unlike you OP who lacks the will and courage to even half-ass a presentation that is not even worth marks.
My advise is you befriend this man and feed his sense of ambition so maybe you can one day taste the scraps of success.
