Hello!
2
Ha ha ha ha ha!
3
Hi!
4
It's so fun to see you doing this! because I get to play a game called "Who Ironed Their Stole?" Just you.
5
Right there in the front.
6
Yes, good job.
7
You want, everybody else has got a crease all over.
8
Everybody's looking at their stalls like, "Anybody?
9
Yeah?
10
Good one?
11
Pretty good?" It's fun.
12
It's fun for me.
13
I hope you all also enjoy that game later when you're talking to each other.
14
And you can be ashamed of your crinkles, every man.
15
Hello.
16
Oh gosh, I...
17
It's been really lovely to spend a little bit of time here
18
and to see all of you on this very important day as you celebrate doing something really, I don't really do imposter syndrome,
19
which is when you're in a place and you're like, "I don't belong here.
20
How did I get in this situation?" I have a superior syndrome.
21
It's called "ha ha ha, I fooled them again" syndrome.
22
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.
23
So, That's where I'm at right now, a man who some of you probably know as a TikToker,
24
who who recently blind -ranked AI companies by how much they look like buttholes - Um,
25
giving the commencement speech at MIT.
26
And I can tell you this now because they can't take me off the stage.
27
I've started already.
28
- So, I'm here though.
29
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.
30
President, Governor, surprised to meet a governor today.
31
And alumni, class of the '75, hello.
32
Thank you for coming out.
33
And also, of course--
34
Thank you to the extremely impressive charismatic and attractive students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduating class of 2005!
35
25!
36
You know.
37
Thank you.
38
2008 is it 2005 sometimes?
39
When you get older, you never really quite know.
40
So So, To express my thanks,
41
The average human skeleton has more than 25 ,000 calories.
42
Which is not probably how you thought I was going to finish that sentence.
43
Also most of your bones are in your hands and feet.
44
That's more than 50 % just the hands and feet.
45
Also, skeletons, bones, are very oxygen dense.
46
They have a lot of oxygen in them, a lot of oxygen atoms.
47
If you took all those atoms out and freed them, you can actually create enough breathable air to breathe for more than 24 hours.
48
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.
49
- Thank you.
50
And I gave you my very best bone fact because I owe you an extra special amount of gratitude because as
51
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.
52
I assume while you were supposed to be p -setting or whatever, that is, but instead you did this.
53
And I appreciate that.
54
I've really loved looking through your answers to these questions.
55
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?
56
And this was my favorite section to read because some of it was definitely not meant for me to understand it.
57
Like a lot of you talked about about counting smootz on the Harvard Bridge.
58
And I just-- that's great for you.
59
I don't-- Thank you.
60
One of you was Tim the beaver, so that's pretty MIT.
61
Now that I'm looking at the teleprompter, I realize that Tim is MIT spelled backwards.
62
I was today years old.
63
when I hit that fact.
64
That's good.
65
I wonder when Tim was formed.
66
Do you guys have your brass rats on your fingers already? Is that...
67
Yeah!
68
That's really cool.
69
Okay.
70
Another of you tried to...
71
This is very MIT.
72
Tried to impress a date with train facts.
73
I see you.
74
Game sees game, except with bones.
75
A lot, and I mean like a suspiciously large number of people responded to this question just with one word, hack.
76
Um.. in a way that was very like felt conspiratorial and like whatever it is that you did,
77
maybe the statute of limitations isn't up yet so you're not going to put that down in writing.
78
But By far the most common word in this section, did a word cloud, was built.
79
You built bridges and robots and incubators and startups and Geiger counters and an eight -foot -wide periodic table and a ukulele.
80
Is the ukulele person here?
81
Hi!
82
How's it going?
83
Is it a good day?
84
You're right in the front.
85
I could almost crowd work you.
86
I think probably that's not how commencement speeches work, though.
87
The point is, y 'all built A lot.
88
And that is something that I found reassuring, because we are going to need a lot of building.
89
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
90
that I would not want to be in them.
91
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.
92
But This is a messy time to be a college graduate.
93
heading out into the world.
94
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.
95
This is A lot.
96
Meanwhile, the world is getting hotter faster.
97
The sudden acceleration in the abilities of artificial intelligence,
98
of communications, and of biotechnology promise huge opportunities and tremendous disruption.
99
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.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
