Hello!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Hi!

It's so fun to see you doing this! because I get to play a game called "Who Ironed Their Stole?" Just you.

Right there in the front.

Yes, good job.

You want, everybody else has got a crease all over.

Everybody's looking at their stalls like, "Anybody?

Yeah?

Good one?

Pretty good?" It's fun.

It's fun for me.

I hope you all also enjoy that game later when you're talking to each other.

And you can be ashamed of your crinkles, every man.

Hello.

Oh gosh, I...

It's been really lovely to spend a little bit of time here

and to see all of you on this very important day as you celebrate doing something really, I don't really do imposter syndrome,

which is when you're in a place and you're like, "I don't belong here.

How did I get in this situation?" I have a superior syndrome.

It's called "ha ha ha, I fooled them again" syndrome.

where you know you don't belong, but you're kind of pleased that you have once again convinced everyone cleverly that you do belong.

So, That's where I'm at right now, a man who some of you probably know as a TikToker,

who who recently blind -ranked AI companies by how much they look like buttholes - Um,

giving the commencement speech at MIT.

And I can tell you this now because they can't take me off the stage.

I've started already.

- So, I'm here though.

So I'm going to try and do a good job So thank you very much to everybody for welcoming me out, all the lovely people up here.

President, Governor, surprised to meet a governor today.

And alumni, class of the '75, hello.

Thank you for coming out.

And also, of course--

Thank you to the extremely impressive charismatic and attractive students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduating class of 2005!

25!

You know.

Thank you.

2008 is it 2005 sometimes?

When you get older, you never really quite know.

So So, To express my thanks,

The average human skeleton has more than 25 ,000 calories.

Which is not probably how you thought I was going to finish that sentence.

Also most of your bones are in your hands and feet.

That's more than 50 % just the hands and feet.

Also, skeletons, bones, are very oxygen dense.

They have a lot of oxygen in them, a lot of oxygen atoms.

If you took all those atoms out and freed them, you can actually create enough breathable air to breathe for more than 24 hours.

Those are some of my best bone facts, and I assume that a good way for a normal human to express thanks is with bone facts.

- Thank you.

And I gave you my very best bone fact because I owe you an extra special amount of gratitude because as

the class of 2025, you have done me a favor, where I asked a lot of you, or asked all of you, to fill out a survey and more than half of you did it.

I assume while you were supposed to be p -setting or whatever, that is, but instead you did this.

And I appreciate that.

I've really loved looking through your answers to these questions.

learning a little bit about you, learning a little bit from you, one of the things I ask was what was the most MIT thing you did while you were at MIT?

And this was my favorite section to read because some of it was definitely not meant for me to understand it.

Like a lot of you talked about about counting smootz on the Harvard Bridge.

And I just-- that's great for you.

I don't-- Thank you.

One of you was Tim the beaver, so that's pretty MIT.

Now that I'm looking at the teleprompter, I realize that Tim is MIT spelled backwards.

I was today years old.

when I hit that fact.

That's good.

I wonder when Tim was formed.

Do you guys have your brass rats on your fingers already? Is that...

Yeah!

That's really cool.

Okay.

Another of you tried to...

This is very MIT.

Tried to impress a date with train facts.

I see you.

Game sees game, except with bones.

A lot, and I mean like a suspiciously large number of people responded to this question just with one word, hack.

Um.. in a way that was very like felt conspiratorial and like whatever it is that you did,

maybe the statute of limitations isn't up yet so you're not going to put that down in writing.

But By far the most common word in this section, did a word cloud, was built.

You built bridges and robots and incubators and startups and Geiger counters and an eight -foot -wide periodic table and a ukulele.

Is the ukulele person here?

Hi!

How's it going?

Is it a good day?

You're right in the front.

I could almost crowd work you.

I think probably that's not how commencement speeches work, though.

The point is, y 'all built A lot.

And that is something that I found reassuring, because we are going to need a lot of building.

As I was walking in here, I took a good look at all your shoes, but it turned out I did not need to look at them to know

that I would not want to be in them.

I think the only people who are jealous of you right now are the class of 2026, because I'm sure things will be even more screwed up then.

But This is a messy time to be a college graduate.

heading out into the world.

The attacks on speech, on higher education, on trans rights, on the federal workforce, on the rule of law, They're coming from inside the house.

This is A lot.

Meanwhile, the world is getting hotter faster.

The sudden acceleration in the abilities of artificial intelligence,

of communications, and of biotechnology promise huge opportunities and tremendous disruption.

So, If I were you, I would want some advice.

100

But as previously mentioned, I am a TikToker who will now

101

and forever be known as the first person to say the word butthole during an MIT commencement speech.

102

So some of the advice Oh, thanks.

103

That's my first A real applause line.

104

So some of you So some of the advice is going to come from you.

105

I asked in my survey, "What would you say to your classmates from the stage like the one that I am on now?"

106

and I'm going to give you a selection.

107

One of your classmates wrote this.

108

I always forget Which Green Brother is Hank and which one is John?

109

And if at all possible, you could just imagine were one guy, that would be superior because that guy would be very impressive.

110

But I don't need you to know the difference.

111

We are close enough.

112

Another of you though, I liked this one.

113

God, this podium is huge. Did you notice that?

114

This is a lot of podium.

115

It makes me feel little Like I'm a little guy.

116

I asked about it.

117

I was like, why is the podium so big?

118

And they were like, it had to fit the seal.

119

And then I said, you could just make a new seal.

120

And they did not like that.

121

- Another of you said this: There is no one definition of success.

122

The idea you have in your head of what success is, it's going to change and you should let it.

123

Oh!

124

That's some old person advice right there.

125

Who are you?

126

Do you have a 45 -year -old out there?

127

There's another piece of 45 -year -old advice that one of you gave.

128

It says this: open a Roth IRA.

129

Did your dad do the survey for you?

130

That's very dadded, but you should open a Roth IRA.

131

Now is the time.

132

Here's one of my real favorites.

133

This one made me feel and think.

134

Collaborate and help each other.

135

Be brave in reaching out and be forgiving in your interactions.

136

I love that.

137

That is so, like, this is technology, but people.

138

Here's another one: "Even if it won't work," no, sorry, I'll quote you directly, "Even if it probably won't work, Try anyway.

139

And the final one, very MIT, don't start with the solution.

140

Start with the problem.

141

Thank you.

142

Now, a lot of you might be thinking right now, that this guy Just make us write his commencement speech for him.

143

And to that I say, at least you didn't know that I didn't have Claude do it for me.

144

- Yeah.

145

I've had a pretty good time, and I knew I was going to have to do this, being kind of...

146

focus on the ludicrousness of my career.

147

been ludicrous and I am happy to focus on that.

148

It has been very weird.

149

I have done TikTok dances to Elmo remixes.

150

I've also published two best -selling science fiction novels.

151

I've written fart listicles, and I have interviewed presidents, and I have made multiple videos about giraffe sex, and I've sold multiple companies.

152

I have helped build an educational media company

153

that provides free videos for everyone in the world who has an internet connection and our content is used in most Americans.

154

schools. And thanks.

155

Oh, thanks.

156

And that is the part of the speech

157

that I had to put in so

158

that your parents could feel better about me being here because at this point it was like, okay, I left it as long as I could.

159

Um.

160

I'm pretty good, it seems like, at having a good idea that I believe in and then just doing it consequences be damned.

161

And that has served me well, though it has not always been like a super relaxing way to live a life.

162

And I did all of that on like a very uncertain and rapidly changing ground of like, online video and social media over the last 20 years.

163

So, perhaps, I hope, I do have something to say to a class of graduates heading out into an uncertain

164

and unstable world.

165

If I could attribute my success, whatever it is, to anything besides luck,

166

it is that I cannot stop believing that there is any better use of my time, than learning something new.

167

It never even enters into my mind.

168

If I learn something new that day, that is a good day.

169

And this curiosity doesn't just expand the number of tools

170

that you have access to and how well you're able to use them.

171

It expands your understanding of the problem space.

172

And that is so much of what ideas are.

173

It's a bunch of tools that you can apply to problems.

174

And it is understanding the shape and structure of the problems and wherever those things overlap, there's opportunity there.

175

And so maybe the advice is very simple.

176

Just be curious about the world and you'll have everything you need for the future.

177

And maybe it's like almost that simple.

178

Like it's almost there, but there's a really important thing here.

179

that I haven't gotten to in that equation.

180

There's another question I asked you in my survey that I haven't mentioned yet.

181

It was what is giving you hope right now.

182

And although one of you wrote Macallan 12, I don't know about that.

183

We'll reign that in a little bit.

184

Most of you talked in this answer entirely about people.

185

My friends, my family, my peers, over and over again.

186

People who care.

187

People who focus on improving life in their communities.

188

People who are standing up for what they believe in.

189

People who see big problems and have the determination to fix them.

190

At a school like MIT, I imagine that it can be pretty easy to focus on the building and less on the people.

191

This is an institute of technology, after all, not an institute of humanities.

192

But I read the humanity in your answers.

193

And this brings me back to the simplicity of curiosity leading you both toward understanding problems

194

and acquiring new tools to deal with them.

195

Because your curiosity is not out of your control.

196

You decide how you orient it, and that orientation is going to affect the rest of your life dramatically.

197

It may be the most important factor in your career.

198

And my guess is that it's going to be really easy to focus on the very compelling and exciting, and honestly not that complicated,

199

problem of just building ever more powerful tools.

200

That's exciting stuff.

201

I love it.

202

I love it.

203

I love those podcasts where I listen to people talk about building powerful tools.

204

- I think it's a good question.

205

But even though the problems, but But even though the problem space is much, much bigger, like obviously much bigger than like build bigger tools,

206

it is surprisingly easy to never notice that.

207

The most powerful mechanisms that steer our focus, I'm just going to say this, like are not always designed for our best interests or the best interests of our world.

208

We've got social content platforms that are great at steering our curiosities, but sometimes they're great at steering it toward things

209

that make us afraid or keep us oriented toward only the most impossible problems or the hottest rifts in society.

210

Meanwhile, we have the capitalist impulse.

211

It's very good at keeping us oriented toward the problems that are most easily turned into money.

212

And that means an overweighting toward the problems that the most powerful and wealthy people are most interested in solving.

213

If we let ourselves be oriented by those forces, which I think are two of the most powerful ones that orient our curiosities, guess what?

214

Problems we will never pay attention to.

215

Never be curious about is the everyday solvable problems of normal people.

216

And I Hope and I ask that you remain curious about your world's intensely diverse and massive problem space.

217

These are solvable problems, problems that are not being addressed because our world does not easily orient our curiosity toward them.

218

- The first time we have been in the last year, we have been in the last year.

219

If you can control your obsessions, You will not just be unstoppable, you will leave this world a much better place than you found it.

220

And this isn't about choosing between financial stability and your ideals.

221

No, there is, as you progress in your career, there will be money to be made in these spaces, because the problems are real.

222

This is simply about who you include in your problem space and what you choose to be curious about.

223

So with that in mind, here is my advice from my heart and my experience.

224

First, Don't eat grass.

225

I had to say this for a very specific reason.

226

and we're going to move on.

227

Second, more importantly, One of the problems you will solve in your life is how you will find joy in an imperfect world.

228

You might struggle with not feeling productive in that task unless

229

and until you accept that your joy can be one of the things that you produce.

230

Third, ideas, don't belong in your head.

231

They cannot help anyone in your head.

232

I sometimes see people become like addicted to their amazing idea.

233

They love it so much they cannot expose it to the imperfection of reality.

234

Stop waiting.

235

Get the ideas out.

236

You may fail, but while you fail, you will build new tools.

237

And then you'll send me an email and be like, "I failed," and I'll be like, "I'm proud of you." Fourth,

238

Because people are very messy and complex, "You may be tempted to build around them and not for them." And I understand this.

239

But remember to ask yourself, Once a year or so, where do value and meaning originate?

240

Where do they come from?

241

Because they don't come from banks or tech or cap tables.

242

Value and meaning come from people.

243

People things are the hardest work, but often the most important work.

244

orient yourself not just toward the construction and acquisition of new and powerful tools, but to the needs of people.

245

And that includes you.

246

And it includes people near you, your friends and your family.

247

I think that we can sometimes feel like the world is

248

so big that like throwing a birthday party

249

or making a playlist for a friend is just like way

250

too insignificant to task compared to the enormity of climate change or AI or the erosion of democracy.

251

But those thoughts alienate you from the reality of human existence.

252

from your place as a builder not just of tools but of meaning.

253

And that's not just about impact and productivity, it's about It's about Sorry, I'm just going to take that from the top.

254

And that is not just about impact and productivity and problem solving.

255

It's about living a life.

256

Do not forget this.

257

It is so special and bizarre to get to live a human life.

258

- Thank you.

259

It took three billion years.

260

to go from the first single -celled organisms to this graduation ceremony.

261

And that's-- For clarity, more than a quarter of the life of the whole universe.

262

is how long that took.

263

Something very special and strange is happening on this planet, and it is you.

264

The greatest thing that you build in your life will be not just your bones, though those are amazing, It will be you, yourself.

265

And trust me on this, you're not done yet because I know I'm not.

266

But what you will be building is not just a toolkit.

267

You will be building a person, and you will be doing it for people.

268

When I asked you what you did at MIT, you said you built.

269

But when I asked you what was giving you hope, you did not say buildings.

270

You said people.

271

So, To the graduating class, 2025, Go forth.

272

for yourself, for others, and for this beautiful bizarre world.

273

Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
