So yes, today, for the second time in my life, I am fake graduating from a college in my hometown.
My Mom and Dad are here again...
And this time I brought my wife and four kids. Welcome, kids, to Dad’s fake graduation. You must be so proud.
So as I said, my Mom is here. She’s a professor, so she knows the value of an MIT degree.
She also knows that I couldn’t have gotten in here.
I mean, Harvard, yes. Or a safety school — like Yale.
Look, I’m not running for any kind of office. I can say ... pretty much whatever I want.
No, I couldn’t have gotten in here, but I did grow up here. Grew up in the neighborhood, in the shadow of this imposing place. My brother Kyle and I, and my friend Ben Affleck—brilliant guy,good guy, never really amounted to much — we all grew up here, in Central Square, children of this sometimes rocky marriage between this city and its great institutions.
To us, MIT was kind of The Man ... This big, impressive, impersonal force ... That was our provincial,knee-jerk, teenage reaction, anyway.
Then Ben and I shot a movie here.
One of the scenes in Good Will Hunting was based on something that actually happened to my brother. Kyle was visiting a physicist we knew at MIT, and he was walking down the Infinite Corridor. He saw those blackboards that line the halls. So my brother, who’s an artist, picked upsome chalk and wrote an incredibly elaborate, totally fake, version of an equation.
