Matt Damon returned to MIT, but this time he wasn't mopping the floors. The 45-year-old actor delivered his first-ever commencement address for MIT's class of 2016 Friday, and wasted no time in slamming GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
To do that Damon got pretty trippy, citing what he says is a real scientific theory that we all might just be living in a simulated reality created by more intelligent forms of life in the universe. His question: "How come we have to be in the reality that Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee for president -- can we transfer to a different one?"

That Howard Zinn worshiping fool.
Id love for Bernie Sanders to take 90 percent of this douche bags wealth but we all know that wont happen
This is MIT, not Harvard. You need to be smart to get into MIT. You just need to be connected to get into Harvard.
Huh? Harvard or MIT?
Each is very screwed up.
Happy to say this engineer did NOT come from the much-vaunted MIT.
I'd settle for better advancements in CGI so that we will eventually have all computer generated actors and overpaid morons like Damon will have to go back to waiting tables.
[[But then Damon got more serious, saying that whether or not this world is real or imagined, there are lots of issues MIT grads must tackle.
“This world has some problems that we need you to drop everything and solve,” he said. “So go ahead take your pick from the world’s worst buffet: economic inequality that’s a problem, ]]
I think he should put his money where his mouth is and redistribute all his own wealth
Matt Damon is writing a check to me?
MIT has fallen so far.... to think they would have a doofus like Matt Damon delivering their commencement address!! He should be advising the little twit who runs North Korea.
Kim Jung-Il is dead. He has nowhere else to go...
Whp is Matt Damon and what is he doing at MIT?
One would hope that MIT would invite academic successes to deliver commencement addresses, instead of high school-educated showpeople. (Nothing against a high school education, just opposed to arrogant show people lecturing others, when they have no educational standing to so do.)
Another wind-up talking toy, recites it’s lines when you pull the string. Awesome!
More Hollywood Groupthink.
UNIPARTY entertainer ALERT!
My dear dad has two graduate degrees from MIT (Aerospace Engineering)... he will be violently ill when I tell him what his alma mater has come to.... there was a time when it would have been inconceivable to have a twit like Matt Damon addressing an MIT commencement.
