I Found the Dumbest Time Zone

Lz3jAEdzbbA | 02 May 2025

I Found the Dumbest Time Zone

I actually came across a few other real weirdos that I will probably put in a Hankschannel videos. Time is very weird and I love it. I feel like you could write a whole book on time zones and I bet someone probably already did. Just the rabbit holes I went down for this one video were extremely satisfying!!! Also, I desperately wanted to make this a normal 4 minute Vlogbrothers video but I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST THAT SKILL!!! It's just so hard to tell a story that fast and so hard to cut out good stuff!!! ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://werehere.beehiiv.com/subscribe Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn

How We Form Opinions

ciJe3oFb134 | 25 Apr 2025

How We Form Opinions

It's always easy to tell the simplest story, and of course none of these stories are simple, but I hate when conversation gets driven into the places where we feel we need to protect our identities and keep us safe within our communities. We should not need to feel that way about things that are either obviously true or obviously in need of open minds and more data. But I suppose expecting humans to not be ridiculsouly social animals driven largely by in-group, out-group effects would be very silly of me. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://werehere.beehiiv.com/subscribe Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn

How Actually Crazy is This Mess?

8JuuGjRhSYE | 11 Apr 2025

How Actually Crazy is This Mess?

So much has happened in the last 10 days that is some mix of totally bizarre and really bad that I've been having a hard time keeping it all in my head, so I figured I might use the tried-and-true method of a YouTube tier-list video to go through how bizarre these 10 days have been. I don't know if this makes it more or less overwhelming, but it helped me!

Morality

ESdGShbsyYo | 04 Apr 2025

Morality

You might not be surprised to hear that this video originally was a good bit more...involved in the current discourse. I pulled it up out of the weeds a little bit, but the reason I started wanting to write it is that I feel like the use of morality as a way of controlling people has become much more powerful than the use of morality to help people order their lives and society better. Like, we have a president who has been openly unfaithful to every wife he's ever had, but to many he's seen as a moral actor because he promises to control people in ways that feel like a moral imperative to some people. I don't like it!! But as I got into the subject I realized that perhaps it is worth saying that this project here and this community has a deep morality. I usually talk about this as "values" but perhaps it is time to own our morality...to take it back, and to be proud of it. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://werehere.beehiiv.com/subscribe Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn

We Will Eradicate Measles

JCvLbT1uXXg | 28 Feb 2025

We Will Eradicate Measles

To find your senators and representative: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials TALKING POINTS You're usually leaving a messge on an answering machine so there's a good chacne you can stop and try to record a different way. INTRO Who are you and where do you live SEPARATION OF POWERS 1. Affirm that you both believe in the constitution 2. You also agree that Congress (the house and senate) are the ones who write laws and decide how money is spent. 3. Executive orders are not laws, but are being treated like laws. 4. You can also say that this is contrary to the idea of separation of powers that the nation is based on.) 5. Treating executive orders like laws degrades separation of powers, which isn't just some fun idea, it's the reason why our democracy has lasted this long. 6. Treating executive orders like laws degrades the power of congress, and you're not sure why your representative is so keen to give away the power the constitution grants them. USAID 1. USAID helps America. It helps america by: a. increasing our influence in the world b. Making other countries more stable c. Making it less likely disease outbreaks will reach Americans 2. Everyone agrees USAID should continue it's life-saving missions, including Marco Rubio, who runs USAID. 3. I don't understand why, given that, the majority of USAID's life-saving work has been suspended. 4. I don't htink anyone even knows who made that decision, and that is scary and very weird and also illegal. FINAL APPEAL 1. We have a shared belief in the greatness of this country and it's systems. 2. I hope you will stand up for the constitution and for USAID. SCRIPT Hey, I’m YOUR NAME (also sometimes good to list your address), I live in your district, I didn’t vote for you. But I did think that you believed in the founding document of this nation. No…I do think that. I do think you believe that congress, the branch of government you are elected to, creates laws and decides how the nation’s money will be spent, and that executive orders are not laws. You have principals and responsibilities that extend beyond loyalty to the president. The more you sit back and let this happen, the more it harms the country. We both know that USAID helps America by increasing our influence in the world, making other countries more stable, and decreasing the chances that disease outbreaks will reach our soil. I think you will eventually stand up to Donald Trump taking away your power, the question is will you be one of the people who stands up first, and I hope you will.

Fine, I'll Talk About the Drones...

-NI6lxgHaN8 | 20 Dec 2024

Fine, I'll Talk About the Drones...

I was shocked how different my perception of the story was from what the actual story was. Honestly, I was not paying much attention to this before I started making this video, so maybe that's part of the problem, but when I started looking into it and realized that there were literally zero confirmed sightings of anything weird, I was pretty disappointed in how we've handled the whole thing!

I woke up this morning worried, despite the fact that I made this video earlier this week as a way to maybe not have that happen. But it does help me to at least recognize that the worry is trying to do something...it's not something I need to cast out, but something I need to accept, especially if I want to try and do interesting and hard things.

Populism, Media Revolutions, and Our Terrible Moment

Populism, Media Revolutions, and Our Terrible Moment

This is one of those videos that you could just keep writing forever but I guess I recently had cause to decide to finish it. I waffle back and forth about whether we are on the quick path or the long path here. What seems clear is that, if all trust gets destroyed, reality starts to matter a little less and people pick the reality that the refer. What Renee DiResta calls "Bespoke Realities." It's going to take time to put the pieces back together, but I do think that, when we do, it will be a better world. It's just that, most days, I think that's going to take forever.

Hello! I recorded this video before John and I made my Friday video (it was initially intended to be my Friday video!) and I wasn't sure if I should release both because there is some overlap, but there's also a fair bit of new ground covered here. So yeah! I figured it would be good to release it! It's a little atypical and I'm not sure how I feel about it but I'm working through my stuff, y'know!! If I don't release it now, I feel like I never will!! (also, yes, I did have a check sitting on my desk and Milo did have to blur it out so it wasn't in the video!)

My Ballot Made Me Angry

_-uJl_Db4Rw | 18 Oct 2024

My Ballot Made Me Angry

Anyway, Vote.org everybody. I am going to keep thinking about the "Everything is a Conspiracy Theory if you don't know how anything works" meme. I think it's, like, 50% right. But really important to note here that the fact that I got a ballot with democrats all on the bottom was both unlikely and guaranteed. Like, it was unlike that I would get one with all democrats on the bottom, but guaranteed that SOMEONE would. So conspiracy theories are really: One part distrust in systems One part not knowing how systems work One part the universe presenting you with information that confirms your anti-system biases. And, of course, all three of those things lean on each other. Not understanding systems because they are massively complex leads to distrusting those systems. Not trusting systems leads to being more likely to falsely misattribute something random to something malicious. And then of course you have all of the magnification systems of the news media and social media and wall-to-wall bad actors who just want to win elections. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://werehere.beehiiv.com/subscribe Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn

What a thing... One thing I didn't include in this video beacuse I'm not 100% sure it's true...the UK ended up being such a good place for coal production hundreds of millions of years ago in part because it was, I think, very wet. Trees can totally break down and release their carbon back into the atmosphere very quickly if FIRES can happen, but in swamps, fires can't happen, because everything is so dang wet. So wet places with lots of vegetation were very good for coal production.

My Governor is Weirder than Yours

Or maybe not...there's a lot of weird governors... But I did get to talk for around an hour with Ryan Busse, who is running against my governor. You might think that, in Montana, there isn't much use running against Republican incumbent governors, and perhaps there isn't, but we've actually had a Democrat in that office for 16 of the last 19 years...which I think is a good reminder that politics is weird, and so is Montana, and so is Greg Gianforte. Pay attention to your state and local politics...it's important! ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://werehere.beehiiv.com/subscribe Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn

Should I Run for President??

IYA3hOzxYeo | 05 Jul 2024

Should I Run for President??

I think there is something important inside the fact that "generic democrat" does better against Trump than any actual Democrat that. The thing about being a real person existing in the real world is that people get to build themselves up by tearing you down. We have a media environment now that is so competitive and so valuable (both in dollars and in status) that an content that can get made will absolutely get made. That's just not good for people polling better than "just some guy." I promise you, the moment I started running for office, lots of people would start to like me less because I would be examined from an entirely different (and far less flattering) kind of apparatus. Luckily for all of us, I have no interest in that both because I am far too busy doing things I am very excited about and because it sounds absolutely miserable. https://good.store ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://werehere.beehiiv.com/subscribe Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn

Three Whole Onions with Secretary Pete Buttigieg

Three Whole Onions with Secretary Pete Buttigieg

Pete Buttigieg is the Secretary of Transportation, which means that he is in charge of the 55,000 person U.S. Department of Transportation. They do a lot of stuff....we get into some of that stuff here now. You will probably not be surprised to find that I quite liked Pete, he's a big ol' nerd and is very focused on understanding people's problems and systems to help people rather than what rhetoric we happen to use to get there. That might be great for a national politician but it is very good for someone who is just in there getting work done. I made this video in a weird way (and it was not what the Pete team, like, /agreed/ to...so hopefully they don't mind...it seemed the proper way.) ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://werehere.beehiiv.com/subscribe Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn

I Closed My Boob in a Door

THE CENSUS!!! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FTQHZW5 MERCH DROP!!! https://store.dftba.com/collections/vlogbrothers I think that there's more to say on "Boob in a Door" discourse. I did see some folks who were like "The boob in a door tweet ruined the book for me" which makes me think: 1. I probably should have found another way to make the point April's tweet is making after I heard from people that it was weird (even if I was technically correct that a real woman would absolutely tweet that tweet...since lots of real women have.) 2. I worry that sometimes "It vital that we are aware of the inequities of the world" that can be interpreted as "I should lot allow myself to enjoy perfect things and also I should be hyper vigilant for anything that may be imperfect...and thus I should not enjoy anything" that I think is not great.

The Worst Things About Not Having Cancer

The Worst Things About Not Having Cancer

Feel weird about this one, of course. Like, obviously I am extremely happy...but also very nervous. It's so weird when you're like googling like "This could be cancer, but it probably isn't" and then IT IS. Now every slightly weird blood test or strange abdominal pain is a shadow of that. But the anxiety is only a part of it...and the other parts are much weirder.

I Believed These Four Lies

W92bjv8fNTI | 08 Mar 2024

I Believed These Four Lies

I'm so nervous about this video. It's weird to admit getting duped by something, but there's nothing that scares me more than people who think it never happens to them. Examing why and how it happens...like, what's going on in my own brain, and also in the systems I'm interacting with, is very important in my work. Creating content based on definitely bad / misleading information is one of my big worries. These are all really weird and complicated examples that I could spend a further hour or two discussing. Like, for example, that (depending on your start date and the data set you use) the relationship between rent and income can be shown to diverge substantially or stay very close together (though, not in 2022 or 2023, where all data sets show them diverging in the US.) The NOAA data one is the most fascinating to me as I honestly think that the internet's response to the information is a kind of classic misinformation / degradation of trust cycle where an organization says something that is then misinterpreted by people online and then the misinterpretation is assigned to the authority (who never said it) and used to degrade the authority of that organization.

Why Doesn't ❤️ Look Like a Heart?

0pJE9kAAT-g | 13 Feb 2024

Why Doesn't ❤️ Look Like a Heart?

In which John falls down a rabbit hole trying to figure out why ❤️ does't look like the thing it is supposed to be, and what that means for love.

My Favorite Climate Graph

My Favorite Climate Graph

Thanks to the folks at the Environmental Defense Fund for helping make the Marginal Abatement Cost Curve a thing that exists. You can read more about it here: https://www.edf.org/revamped-cost-curve-reaching-net-zero-emissions And thanks to the folks at the center for negative carbon emissions at ASU: https://globalfutures.asu.edu/cnce/ There is much more to say about this graph...the big things being that it, of course, is guessing about the present and does not even attempt to predict the future. There are things that aren't even on the curve (like advanced geothermal) that I think are likely to be super important in our path to decarbonization because, right now, it's mostly unproven technology (though proven more and more every year.) Another thing it doesn't account for is energy costs going down, especially at certain times of the day (when there is lots of sun and wind) and that could substantially change the equation for Direct Air Capture of CO2. Anyway! Thanks for reading the description...in exchange for that, because I know you're a real one, I was wondering if you could fill out this survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVxhQXl-ZCG4cENe5TVCeFUdctbX-AP88l1uv6icYVD3NRjA/viewform?usp=sf_link ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

On YouTuber Retirement

On YouTuber Retirement

I think the thing that makes this kind of creation so special is that it is being done in collaboration with an audience. I think when TV shows feel that way, it feels like a betrayal when they get cancelled. But in that situaiton, some media executive can be blamed. Meanwhile, a creator saying "Look, we have been doing this together for a long time and it has been amazing, but I want to take a break" is a big deal. We have to have structures that allow it. I want to do this, but I do not want to do it after I stop wanting to do it, y'know? ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

How to Detect AI Images (and why it doesn't matter)

It is a very weird moment and it is really important that a lot of people have both the kinds of skills that give them good signals for when to get suspicious AND strong abilities to figure out whether things are real or not. Both of those things, IMO, are getting harder and harder. Platforms (and creators) succeed by giving you content that you /won't/ be suspicious of, and we have more and more tools for fooling the BS detectors that people have developed, requiring new BS detector upgrades constantly!!

I'm Scared of 2024...So Here's 3 Optimistic Thoughts

I was like, "I'M GONNA MAKE THIS VIDEO" and I did it. Look, there are plenty of days when I burn through all of my optimism lately. But there's also a lot of perspective that I often have a hard time holding on to. I have been saying for a long time that I think this whole "internet and society" thing is going to get worse before it gets better, and I still think that's true. But I have also seen some signs that indicate that the premise of that thought (that things will get better) is actually true...which I do not believe every day! Happy New Year everyone!

John and Hank Hanging Out but they Keep Getting Younger and More Pixelated

Happy Christmas Eve to those who celebrate. I took a little time this year to go through and watch all of our reunion videos and get a little weepy about all of the things we have been through and how this went from something very silly and tiny to something very silly and big. And also serious...maybe too serious sometimes. This video makes me want to be sillier and smaller, but also I want to go bigger and more interesting...it's a conflict! Let's do both! Somehow...we've always figured out how to do weird impossible things before...I think we can do that.

It's OK if you think less of me after this!

It's OK if you think less of me after this!

Let's talk about Business... Newsletter signup is here: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=WqCS2A&g=YAMh9S Good Store Here: https://good.store It might not be clear why I feel weird about this video because I'm of course really inside my head about all of this, but I want to be a person who gets excited just about making life better for staff and customers and clients and that's just always enough for me. Sometimes it is, for sure! And I don't want people to think I've been miserable doing this work. But I have found that I am, to some extent, who I am. There are things I can do and of course I am extremely grateful to have the opportunities I have. But when I definitely *had enough* and was still working really hard and feeling very stressed, I could tell that I needed new motivations. One motivation is wanting to do things that are very interesting and special for this community, which is why John suggesting we work with Partners in Health in a big and long-term way was so exciting (honestly, in part because it felt quite risky!) The thing I wish was different about me is that I wish having or not having money did not affect my motivation as much as it did. I thought it wouldn't, but I was wrong. I was much more motivated by making money up to a certain point than I thought I was, and when that motivation went away, I was upset that I had such a need to find new ways to motivate myself to do hard things. I don't think I said it enough in this video, but I feel (aside from some frankly unnecessary challenges with my body) pretty certain that I am one of the luckiest people on the whole earth, and that's not hyperbole, I think it's simply true. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

We Need to talk about Sarapocial Relationships

igyeRKJJZI4 | 03 Nov 2023

We Need to talk about Sarapocial Relationships

Brittany's whole interview is worth listening to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cfi4v5QM4E One thing I think about a lot is that the people who are often best at maintaining a sarapocial relationship are not people I...like. Like Trump is great at it, Elon Musk is a great at it. It's definitely not a skill that only comes when you're a good person, so that's something I try and think a lot about...just because I'm good at something doesn't mean I'm good. Also, one of the difficult exercises of all of this is that I understand that the core is different on different platforms, and that the way people feel when consuming different kinds of media matters a huge amount. So that's just a lot to try and keep in your head all at once. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

How to Make Hot Sauce for Just $65 per Bottle

I Keep Thinking About Taylor Swift

We called this company Complexly because it's better for the world AND for the individual to imagine the world and each other complexly. There is so much garbage out there that we are competing with now, I just think that what we do is more important than ever. I know that we all mostly focus on the bad parts of what is being created, but there's so much proof out there that people actually love stuff that builds and creates and brings people together.

I Quit

Jjz3lGV6Tuw | 06 Oct 2023

I Quit

The Grant: https://forms.gle/HBtAdt7zedrtzbZ48 Pizzamas: https://pizzamas.com/discount/HANKSENTME As I upload this, I am realizing that there is a pretty huge part of my life that I barely ever talk about publicly. I mean, that is also somewhat true of family things, but business isn't traditionally seen as a thing to be private about. There are lots of people who have big, full careers just talking about the business of their business. I myself have felt the pull to create that kind of content and have done it! But I stopped a while back as I realized that talking about the inside operations of my business was always sharing other people's stories as well as my own, and that's weird without asking for permission. Plus, my perception of a situation is never going to be exactly the same as someone else's. So I stopped doing it. I even put a little sign on my computer that says "DON'T TWEET ABOUT WORK" to remind me. Even this video felt like it was on the edge of sharing too much, though it is almost all about me. I feel like there's a relationship between the "I tweet about what a good boss I am boss" and the "wife guy." And we've seen times when those bosses hve proved that they are not great bosses. I am also not a great boss...I know that there are some out there, but it's not an easy thing to do. It's especially hard when you have both the inclination and opportunity to be constantly distracted by other things! So yeah, that's why I don't talk about the biggest part of my professional life on the internet. If my businesses were just my business, I would, but it's not. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

A Feeling I've Never Felt Before

7bO1Dwcs3jA | 22 Sep 2023

A Feeling I've Never Felt Before

The thing I cut out of this video is that I have a new kind of pain that I've never felt before and because it's new it's just kinda hard to deal with. I don't know what it means. I don't know how to make it feel better and I don't yet know what makes it worse. It's common to have muscle pain after radiation but I thought it would feel like other muscle pain I've had before and it just doesn't! So weird. Anyway, that's a bummer. Good thing I got some positive new sensations as well! Thanks for that.

The Worst Disease in Human History

The Worst Disease in Human History

To help get the TB tests price down to $5, check out http://TBFighters.org Allies in the fight against TB! Not always agreeing on how best to engage in that battle. Of course, there are TONS of other reasons that TB is good at being bad. And, indeed, it replicates slowly not just because of it's massive, expensive cell wall, but also because it seems like there is evolutionary advantage in doing that. Possibly because we have lived with it for so long, TB has evolved to be a long and lingering disease rather than one that explodes and kills quickly.

Remission

Remission

Cancer is messy...just like being a human. I'm starting to get my feet back under me (and also finally getting away from waiting for the other shoe to drop.) I've pretty much only had good news since the diagnosis, which has left me waffling between feeling like there's definitely something terrible right around the horizon, and like I shouldn't be so harmed by this experience with the experience of other people has been so much worse. Cancer imposter syndrome?? Absolutely. I'm still taking some time away to rest and recuperate because treatment has done a number on me physically, but obviously I feel really good and am very glad to be receiving (and delivering) good news. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Good News Video

eywz5xYuNPo | 14 Jul 2023

The Good News Video

I mean...wow...a lot happening here. It's worth saying that Johnson & Johnson could have completely abandoned their patent, but they did not. That means that they can do all kinds of small and large things in the future that might decrease access to bedaquiline, but, as of today, they have provided licenses to allow generics to be sold in the places in the world where it is most needed and, y'all, that is just a massive freaking win. Such a huge deal...and such a good moment. As for me, I pretty much say it all in the video. We're not out of the woods yet, but the woods are significantly less woodsy, so I'm feeling good. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Barely Contained Rage: An Open Letter to Johnson & Johnson

Barely Contained Rage: An Open Letter to Johnson & Johnson

BIG BIG NEWS: THE STOP TB PARTNERSHIP HAS ANNOUNCED SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH JOHNSON & JOHNSON TO MAKE GENERIC BEDAQUILINE AVAILABLE IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY WITH A HIGH BURDEN OF TUBERCULOSIS: https://www.stoptb.org/news/global-drug-facility-update-access-to-bedaquiline But we are still waiting on the details. Tell them we need the details: Tell them on twitter: https://twitter.com/JNJNews and https://twitter.com/JNJGlobalHealth Tell them on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jnj/ Tell them on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jnj/?hl=en And tell them wherever else you can. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell the Internet. This must not be allowed to happen. Multidrug resistant tuberculosis is a growing threat, and bedaquiline is essential to curing it. Generic bedaquiline will drive down the cost of the drug by over 60%, allowing far more communities to access and distribute treatment. Evergreening the patent will cost so many lives over the next four years, which Johnson & Johnson knows. They must drop their efforts to enforce the secondary patents. Big thanks to TB expert Dr. Carole Mitnick and MSF's Christophe Perrin for helping me to understand the complexities of drug patents! ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

What to Get for a Cancer Patient

Oh!! And one more thing you can do…help the helpers. Whether that’s fun self-care products or reaching out to say you love them and they’re doing a great job. That’s what it seems like people mostly need. Cancer treatment is very hard…physically and psychologically. Knowing that I’m doing what needs to be done even if it really really sucks is extremely valuable. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Bon Your Vivant

Bon Your Vivant

Today is the last chemo day of my current treatment plan!! I will feel terrible next week, and then I will mend up a bit before I start radiation, which will take a while but /should/ have significantly less impact in terms of symptoms. I will also have a fairly important scan next week at some point, and I'll have a big hunk of time before I hear back about the results...so that's quite scary! So, fingers crossed and all that...you never really know how it's gonna go but it seems like it's going well so far. I would definitely be very happy if this is the last of the chemo I ever have to do, but also, just grateful to have these tools. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Understanding Cancer Survival Rates

cepUz29tqEI | 23 Jun 2023

Understanding Cancer Survival Rates

Well, yknow, It’s a weird one, but I make stuff about the things I’m thinking about and this is definitely one of them! It’s such a wild thing that we talk about cancer in a unified way when it is many hundreds of different diseases. Cancer isn’t a disease, it’s a way for disease to happen. And even with something as treatable as Hodgkin’s there are lots of ways it can be more or less dangerous, and sometimes it gets really stubborn! So far that isn’t happening with me, but I am very aware that it could. I’m not a population, I’m just one person, so I get to be on one side or the other! It’s good to actually understand what it all means.

So, About This HAIR....

Not all chemotherapy makes your hair fall out, but mine does! it seemed like a good opportunity to indulge a little bit of appreciation for someone who is both dumber than me and does not exist. I am writing this in my chemo chair! Feeling good right now! They give you two weeks between treatments, and you feel pretty terrible for the first week and pretty normal for the second. It's of course too early to tell exactly how well this is all going, but early signs indicate that my cancer cells are "responding well to treatment" which is cancer-center speak for "dying a bunch." ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

It seems a little bit like Elon Musk thought that the previous owners of the site very intentionally were exercising power over him, and so now he is entirely justified in exercising power over others. Like, he felt like he'd been trolled when he was in fact just interacting with a world that will always disagree with itself, and now he wants to troll back. I think he felt like he was abused, and now he's abusing back. The thing is, he wasn't abused, he was just treated like a powerful member of society. Powerful people are always subject to intense scrutiny...and I bet that's hard. Now he's made himself even more powerful, and that seems like a bad choice. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch If you're in Canada, you can donate here: https://pihcanada.org/hankandjohn John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

This "Math Test" Changed How I See Humanity

lBJVyCYuu78 | 21 Oct 2022

This "Math Test" Changed How I See Humanity

I think, for example, that pretty much every question about "cancel culture" is a question poorly phrased because "cancel culture" means at least 20 different things, from celebrities going to jail for sexual assault to viral "karen" videos. It's impossible to be right about cancel culture but very easy to have an opinion on it because every person has a different definition. It is a question, like the math test in the video, seemingly intentionally designed to create conflict. There are so many mechanisms of how our disrupted world gets so messy and weird and bad, but the fact that it's much easier to argue about stuff when opinions are easy to form, and it's much easier to form easy opinions when questions are wrongly stated is actually new to me!!

Most People Have Never Been 20

4es9DbDpPq0 | 11 Oct 2022

Most People Have Never Been 20

In which John gets curious about when the median human being lived, and along the way learns something surprising about the human story. LINK/SOURCES: You can make a one-time or monthly donation to support better maternal and child healthcare in Sierra Leone here: http://pih.org/hankandjohn Most of the population data in this video comes from the Population Reference Bureau, especially this excellent article: https://www.prb.org/articles/how-many-people-have-ever-lived-on-earth/ That's also where I learned that life expectancy in Iron Age France was 10-12. The graphs and much of the information on life expectancy at various ages comes from Our World in Data, which is amazing. Here's their article on life expectancy over time and across communities: https://ourworldindata.org/life-expectancy Their article on child survival and mortality statistics: https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality And their article examining mortality in the distant past: https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality-in-the-past I mostly relied on PRB info for global populations at various times, but this research summary from census.gov was also helpful: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/international-programs/historical-est-worldpop.html Here's my math for why most people have never been 20: Of the first 100 billion people who lived, at least half (the most prominent researchers in the field consider that estimate on the low end) of people died before 15. Counting the 3% or so who died between 15 and 20, that means that probably at least 53 billion of the first 100 billion people died before the age of 20. Of the most recent 10 billion who died (most of whom were born between 1800 and 1950), over 30% died before the age of 20. That takes us to a conservative estimate of 56 billion of the 110 billion people who've died so far. (2.6 billion people are CURRENTLY under the age of 20, so even if you look at the entire population of humans, it is probable that most people have never been 20--hence the title.) ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Kony 2012 of Roads - Solar Freakin' Roadways

The Kony 2012 of Roads - Solar Freakin' Roadways

http://pizzamas.com I think we sometimes get stuck thinking that the only worthwhile solutions are the solutions that solve everything all at once. Certainly that's very exciting, and it would be very cool if we could get some of those for, like, transportation and medicine and democracy, but instead, it's mostly a bunch of work of lots of individuals doing small things that ends up making the world better. I get very skeptical when big simple solutions are proposed to me, and I think you should as well. A lot of people have done great work showing that solar roads are a bad idea.

How My Book Became a Hit with Elderly People

Pizzamas rolls on: http://pizzamas.com In which John explores how a tiny algorithmic quirk led to his book The Anthropocene Reviewed becoming a surprise hit among readers of large print editions. p.s. The Anthropocene Reviewed is available wherever books are sold in hardcover, audiobook (narrated by me), e-book, and large print edition (but not in regular paperback, because book publishing is weird). ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Pizza Johns Starting Lineup was designed by Josh Taira (Daruma Party) and the Wolf Pizza John was designed by Bern Lehtinen. Very sorry for this mistake! ALSO: Hilariously enough, in this video I lament that dftba only sent me small shirts. What actually happened is that they sent me two boxes (one for in-person deliveries) AND I OPENED THE WRONG BOX. I MADE THE ENTIRE VIDEO FROM THE WRONG BOX. THE FAULT IS ENTIRELY MY OWN. In which John's Headless Wonders model some truly amazing t-shirts.

What if a lot of the Cynicism is Unjustified???

What if a lot of the Cynicism is Unjustified???

https://www.youtube.com/c/howtovoteineverystate https://www.tiktok.com/@howtovoteineverystate High Conflict https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/High-Conflict/Amanda-Ripley/9781982128579 What I see more than anything is that, when politicians are more interested in getting people involved in conflict, they become better at creating problems than solving them. On the national level, that's extremely common, and it's becoming more common on the local level. But I think that is /only/ because we are letting the conflict drive us into cynicism. I feel like, as long as the conflict machine (which is very clearly mostly driven by a reactionary right-wing set of fears) is in charge, it's going to get harder and harder and harder to solve even a single problem. So I'm not saying, "Let's stop with all the conflict!" because there is much to fight for and disagreement is the energy of democracy. But if everyone is hopeless or only fighting to beat the opposition, not to actually win progress, nothing gets solved. And I think part of pushing back agains that is being grateful for leaders who are finding ways to succeed without dumping gasoline on the fire. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Biggest Climate Bill of Your Life - But What does it DO!?

qw5zzrOpo2s | 12 Aug 2022

The Biggest Climate Bill of Your Life - But What does it DO!?

The thing about this bill is that it's going to keep having a huge impact on the country for many many years and, mostly, we will not even notice. That's what happens with almost all good legislation. Of course, there will also be some bits of this that won't work as intended and they'll probably be big news stories. When you've got like 150 different pieces of a bill, not everything will be perfect! But it is quite a big deal for me to see America making these investments...even if I'm not gung-ho on all of them, and some of them legit piss me off...it's an amazing step that I did not think we would be making.

What are These Boys Doing??

We don't mean to be sneaky...ok, maybe we do...but not to you! AwesomeCoffeeClub.com Today I was reminded that my video about the James Webb Space Telescope from 2011 turned out to be a big deal internally for people working on JWST. It had undergone a lot of setbacks and not hitting budgets and there were a number of people who were starting to feel that maybe it would never happen, or wasn't worth the costs. That was dragging on the people working on it, and then this rando YouTuber makes a video about how you can make the world better by decreasing suck, but also by increasing awesome. That seems to have become a big deal among some folks who worked there, and they even passed out "I Decrease Suck" and "I Increase Awesome" buttons to people working on the project.

Why we can't ship internationally: Two of the good things about Awesome coffee is that it’s extremely fresh, and freshness decreases as you ship it further, and also that it raises money for charity, the amount of which also decreases as you ship it further.

Turned out fantastic, honestly. 10 out of 10, would do all of this again (except the anchovies.) ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

7 Movie Reviews in Four Minutes

WJcTF4RZzm0 | 01 Jul 2022

7 Movie Reviews in Four Minutes

I don't not watch movies because I don't watch stuff, I just consume so much stuff generated by YouTubers and podcasters and authors other independent creators that I don't ever really think about movies. I think this is also why movies make me cry so much...they're just a much more effective medium for conveying emotion. Character+story+people's actual faces+music+cinematography can sometimes just SLAM into me and totally break me down. So it's actually unusual for me to get through a movie without crying. I often can't get through a PREVIEW! Especially when it's family stuff. I have been testing negative for a few days now and am back home, but here is my video from when I was trapped in a hotel room for a week!! It was not the best time, but I did get to watch a lot of great movies!! The next day after this I watched Annihilation, which is WAY outside of what I usually watch, but I love Jeff Vandermeer books and they did a truly amazing job of capturing his bizarrity. I loved it, even if I was very scared for much of the time. I cried twice. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Are You Eating a Credit Card Every Week?

2Ntp6BqhSng | 17 Jun 2022

Are You Eating a Credit Card Every Week?

No. But how we ended up here is very weird and I really wanted to talk about it. Here are the things that had to go wrong for this headline to spread across the internet: 1. An organization funded science because they wanted a talking point. 2. The organization amplified a misleading version of what the study found. 3. The authors of another paper were mislead, though it would have been easy not to be mislead because they're scientists. 4. Peer review did not catch the stat because it was a background stat, not part of the papers methods or results which peer review doesn't spend much (if any) time on. 5. News outlets did not investigate the source of the background stat and published it as if it were fact. 6. Humans with varying levels of reach and power online took mainstream headlines at face value and did not check before sharing. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Time for Politics

0WMsMfJ_GTo | 27 May 2022

The Time for Politics

Thinking about saying these things into a camera was overwhelming me, so I just said them into my microphone, I hope that's OK. Universal background checks are opposed for very small and unimportant reasons, which leads me to believe that, in fact, this is all much more about playing politics than actual policy-making. And it's hard to say that the people playing those politics haven't been well-rewarded for it, so honestly I'm not sure what we can do. 41% of Americans live in a home with a gun, a percentage that rose quite a lot during the pandemic. We aren't going to ban guns in America. Some people might want that, but it doesn't matter because it is impossible. But there are lots of strategies we can put in place to actually make guns safer. Other countries have done it. The only thing standing in the way of us doing it in the US is wild, unfounded fears that are being manufactured and sold by people trying to consolidate their power. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

What Elon Musk Got Wrong About Twitter

MPi_aVJJ4NY | 13 May 2022

What Elon Musk Got Wrong About Twitter

It's hard to overstate how different "We will moderate based on what is illegal" is from "...illegal or destructive to the world, or wrong, or bad." That second sentence is just saying "moderation will remain centralized and subjective...but I will be in control of it." I understand that he was just answering questions during an event, but it does show that this just isn't something he's thought very critically about. It seems likely that, when given just a few more examples of how truly difficult it is to balance open speech with creating a sustainable platform that people do not flee, Elon will back out of this deal. There are lots of reasons for him to back out of the deal as well, including the fact that, if he doesn't he becomes the bogeyman. He has a tremendously strong brand, but even his personal brand would take a beating in such a controversial role. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

My Religion and My Banned Books

In which John discusses his work as a chaplain, his religion, his books, and why he writes books that endeavor to stand there. As is usually the case with videos where I even obliquely attempt to talk about faith, I feel very unsettled about this one (hence all the textual asides), as my relationship with religious institutions (even progressive ones) is increasingly ~complicated~. But I wanted to try to express that the people trying to restrict access to information and human rights do not speak for me or for all Christians. Also: I made this video before the leak of the U.S. Supreme Court's apparent decision to overturn Roe. (I am traveling a lot for the turtles movie and I'm making things on an unusual schedule.) So while I understand that parts of this video may feel like a response to that news, I didn't know the news when I wrote, filmed, or edited it. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

How do you cross the Sad Gap?

Bew3EMicf8g | 19 Apr 2022

How do you cross the Sad Gap?

In which John tells the story of how he escaped the despair of feeling like nothing could ever be done about anything, and how in learning more, he became more optimistic about the future. Some other strategies for crossing the sad gap that stood out to me in comments to Hank's video: 1. There is very little evil - Almost no one thinks they are evil, or that their beliefs or policies are malicious. If you had a different life, you'd have different values. 2. Listen to the people who are working on solving the problem and research their past successes. There are many ways in which the world is better than it was a generation ago. Find the people who are helping to drive these successes and pay attention to them. Pay attention as well to the people who are calling out the problems we face in new ways that will help us to tackle them better. 3. Connect with individuals: Building relationships is both a way to cross the sad gap (because you'll find that you're working/thinking/volunteering with people who are also trying to solve the same problems that are important to you) and a way to learn more deeply about the challenges you care about. 4. Believe in the possibility of humanity. Look to the moments when we have shown real solidarity and taken meaningful steps to make the world suck less. Look to the way the people of Damascus responded to the plague, or the ways systems have been built to better serve our shared needs. 5. You can only have one first priority: This is what inspired today's video! 6. Be grateful for the work of others. On the problems you don’t have time to interface with deeply, do not think “this problem will solve itself” think “there are wonderful people who I trust to work on this.” ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Are You Stuck in The Sad Gap

nbPY2hyU3zk | 15 Apr 2022

Are You Stuck in The Sad Gap

I haven't run across a video that was so hard to fit into four minutes in a long time. There is a lot I want to say about this, and also a lot that I'm not 100% clear on. I don't know to what extent this is an artifact of the structure of people communicating and to what extent it is an artifact of the way the social internet is built. I also think that there are some people who think that The Sad Gap is the honorable, correct place to be. As if you are a bad person if you get out of the place where you only feel hopelessness and outrage. I am, frankly, OVER THAT. I think it's making things much worse. I never thought it was the right thing to do and the moment I realized that other people did, I got very worried. Anyway, it's taken me a long time to think about this stuff and articulate it and I am very curious about what other people think so please leave comments, I will be reading them voraciously. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://eepurl.com/Bgi9b And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

An H of G

Awesome Coffee is almost sold out. Great coffee; 100% of profits to charity: http://awesomecoffeeclub.com I should have said "a hermeneutic of generosity" every time I should "a hermeneuticS of generosity." Please interpret this mistake in a favorable light. In which John talks about hermeneutics, and how a hermeneutic of generosity drove the work of Partners in Health co-founder Dr. Paul Farmer. To me, seeing others in the most generous possible light does not mean accepting injustice or oppression. It means believing that oppression and injustice are addressable, because these things aren't happening because people are inherently evil or systems are inherently corrupt. We can choose a better world together. And I believe we will. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

How to Fix Daylight Saving Time

39wAtJwFrVY | 18 Mar 2022

How to Fix Daylight Saving Time

The more I think about this, the more interested I am in how it is a lens on a bunch of broader phenomenon. Right now, there are a bunch of pieces being published about how particular groups are upset or worried about sticking with daylight time all year round rather than standard time. But, if we were going to be sticking with standard time all year round, there would also be a bunch of articles about why that's bad. We only talk about the drawbacks of the things we are doing, which means we don't spend a lot of time thinking about the drawbacks of the alternatives. Tricky business... Anyway, the only way we fix this is if enough people don't care...so that's where I'm at. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Ukraine and Russia: What Caused the War?

mMZYKxgc9TE | 15 Mar 2022

Ukraine and Russia: What Caused the War?

In which John explores historical and political context to understand what caused the Russian government's invasion of Ukraine, and how we arrived at this awful now. There is a LOT of misinformation in comments, so why not read directly from SOURCES? But first, CORRECTIONS: The official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian. "National languages" as a phrase was confusing. I should've just said that 30% of Ukrainians speak Russian as their first language. Also, the etymology of "Ukraine" is not settled as "borderlands." Many Ukrainian linguists argue that the etymology of Ukraine comes from words meaning "In My Land," not "borderlands." Thirdly, I misspelled Kyiv as Kiev. If I made further mistakes, let me know and I'll amend here. Now, SOURCES: Putin's claims that Ukraine never had "real statehood" have been stated in both essays and speeches. Here's some coverage of one such speech: https://time.com/6150046/ukraine-statehood-russia-history-putin/ And a fact-check of the same speech: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/02/23/fact-checking-putins-speech-ukraine/ If you want to read Vladimir Putin's essay where he expounds his theory that Ukraine "was created entirely by Russia," you can read Putin's meandering, surreal, ahistorical essay about it here: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181 (This is an insecure site owned by the Kremlin so bear that in mind) This article goes into far more detail about Putin's theory of Ukraine's illegitimacy than I could cover in the video: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/21/world/europe/putin-ukraine.html You can learn about the Holodomor here: https://www.britannica.com/event/Holodomor or at this thoroughly researched wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor And about Stalin's forced deportation policies here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_transfer_in_the_Soviet_Union Putin's reference to assault in the context of invading Ukraine: https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-macron-meeting-quote-obscene-lyrics-show-russia-ukraine-demands-2022-2 The 1991 Independence referendum results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Ukrainian_independence_referendum Huge thanks to Rosianna Halse Rojas for editing the script and help sourcing images. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

You Don't Want a Gas Stovetop

Bcqah8U_uKA | 18 Feb 2022

You Don't Want a Gas Stovetop

OK, so I was both passionately disorganized and time-limited so here's a little more information: Problems with Gas Stoves They release fairly dangerous chemicals into your home, including nitrogen dioxide which is quite bad for you. A recent meta-analysis of dozens of studies showed that kids who live in a house with gas cooktops have a 41% higher chance of experiencing asthma. They introduce a significant danger of fire and explosion, especially in homes with children or people with memory problems. They are harder to clean than induction cooktops. They get much hotter than induction cooktops. They heat up far more slowly and make cooking take more time. VERY IMPORTANTLY household methane use is actually a really big contributor to climate change and we are going to have to, over the next 30 years, stop doing it. People don't care about their hot water heater as long as it's reasonably priced and works well, but people have emotional connections to their gas ranges, and that could be a really silly reason to make climate change significantly worse. The only advantages of gas cooktops over induction: They can (though this isn't always the case) have a little more control over heat than induction (though induction cooktops /can/ have that control, they just sometimes don't). Induction cooktops don't work with copper, aluminum, or glass cookware. At the moment, the cheapest gas ranges are cheaper than the cheapest induction cooktops (though government incentives SHOULD CHANGE THIS PLEASE.) THINGS I LEFT OUT OF THIS VIDEO There are places (I live in one of them) where we will likely need to deliver gas (possibly hydrogen, but who knows) to people's houses because it sometimes gets below -20 degrees F and it's hard to make heat pumps work well at that temperature. But in the next 20 years, it's completely possible that that problem will be solved. Regardless, 90% of people in the US live in places where it never gets that cold. That percentage is increasing as people move to warmer places and the colder places get warmer. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

The Most Dangerous Thing We've Ever Done on Stage

qpUObWf6NYs | 28 Jan 2022

The Most Dangerous Thing We've Ever Done on Stage

Now that I'm thinking about this, I can't stop thinking about it. I remembered it because a friend of mine told me a story about when she was once at a hot spring and she went from pool to pool asking everyone if they'd like to participate in 30 seconds of silence and she got everyone on board, but then, 15 seconds after they started, some guy said "THIS IS BORING." Like, it's very easy to immediately and /only/ examine the person who did the dumb thing. My brain wants to know what the heck is wrong with him! How drunk was he? How selfish!? But if we assume that that experiment works sometimes, but not every time, we realize that taking a continuum of human decisions and forcing it into a binary, you would always only have one of two outcomes. But humanity doesn't exist in a binary of good or bad and right or wrong. But even when we don't force our experience into a binary (which this experiment did) our brains like to imagine things as binary because it's just cognitively easier. We even have a name for that...binary bias: (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0956797618792256) Anyway, lots to think about...as always... ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

It takes time, but I love it, because I'm learning the whole time. And it means that I'm going to know something that like 0.00001% of people know, which is going to make me way better at being effective but also compassionate!

Thank God We Got This Right...

C8MNCjieyvU | 14 Jan 2022

Thank God We Got This Right...

The only drawback to having 13 months is that, whatever day of the week you're born on, that's the one you're stuck with. At least, now, everyone gets a weekend every once in a while. With 13 months in a year, Monday babies would always be Monday babies. But, this is the thing, there are no decisions that impact a lot of people that don't have some negative impacts. I can't express how much better it would be to always know what day of the week the 19th would be!! Just...think of how much extra certainty that would add to our lives! Maybe that's a bit of a drawback too though..I dunno. I do love the idea of that six day week though...I bet people would get up to all kinds of nonsense.

What I would very much like to do at some point is to make a video that is like "All of the best moments of the last 15 years" and I thought I might even take that challenge on until I realized that my son was going to be staying home from school the last two days of the week. BUT I REALLY WANT TO DO IT SOON!! To all of the nitpickers...yes, we have uploaded more than 2000 videos on this channel...especially if you count all of the various parts of Truth or Fail.

29 Days of Astronomical Terror

The James Webb Space Telescope wants to examine the universe in ways that are simply impossible without tremendous feats of engineering. The bad news is...that means a terrifyingly complex deployment schedule and, while launch is scheduled for Christmas morning, no one will be breathing easy for at least two weeks after launch. Let's walk through the timeline, and why this is so hard.

Divers put mix their breathing gas with helium because the normal gas (nitrogen) is more soluble in human blood, and as water pressures increase, that pressure can force the nitrogen into your cells with causes "nitrogen narcosis."

A Tool with No Blood on It

DuLuxNfeCn4 | 22 Oct 2021

A Tool with No Blood on It

The weirdest swerve when it comes to vavilovian mimics is that some weeds got so good at imitating crops that they made their seeds really big an nutritious and BECAME CROPS. Both rye and oats were once weeds in wheat fields, but they got so good at mimicking wheat that THEY BECAME STAPLE CROPS. Anyway, the bigger the solution, the more problems it causes, but that doesn't mean life was better before it. It used to be that we could rumble through life without understanding the damage that we did. In part, that was because there were fewer of us, in part it was just ignorance. But the only reason there are more of us now is that people wanted to live...and have their children live, which I can't really blame them for. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

The Web of Care

ALb7FYlpYMw | 13 Oct 2021

The Web of Care

Only Two Pizzamas Videos Left?! 0_o I think I mostly got to the point I wanted to get to here. Of course, there are a lot of other important thoughts that stem from here...specifically, are we extending our care in the right directions? Are we making sure that the web is growing where it needs to grow? And how do we make those decisions. But the overall thing I wanted to get to is...we are individuals, but we act on the world (and the world acts on us) in ways that individuality does a very bad job of explaining. The self-centered "everything needs me" feeling that I so often have doesn't serve the world or myself. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

We're Thinking About Facebook Wrong

We're Thinking About Facebook Wrong

Pizzamas products available now until the end of next week!: http://www.pizzamas.com Usually I'm up in the description being like, "here are a bunch of things I wasn't really able to fit in the video" but actually...turns out, if you let me go for 20 minutes, I get most of it out. OK, I guess the one insight I had durning this that didn't fit is to do with righteous superiority. It (and fear) are most effective on people who struggle with self worth (which is to say...y'know...basically everyone, but also some people more than others.) In particular, people who might have been told that they would have a lot of status but then ended up not getting it might be very susceptible to both fear-based and superiority-based content. Interestingly, the fear and the superiority almost always go hand-in-hand. Like, "here are the people you are superior to, and here is why you should be afraid of them" is a wildly engaging thought. Anyway, this is really intense and I hope we all get through it. 2:00 So...

A Lie I Heard this Week

A Lie I Heard this Week

I heard a lie this week and it made me think about a bunch of stuff. Sign up for texts here: https://pizzamas.com/pages/sms-sign-up Or go to Pizzamas.com! One of the things it made me think and that I barely talk about in this video is that we are really good at saying "Boy, things sure are bad, but I know there is one thing that isn't part of the problem, and that thing is me." Which, like, might be true but is also awfully convenient. Like, I often hear people blaming news organizations for making the kind of content that people want. We can have a robust conversation about whether news should be constructed as a public good, but as long as they're out there competing with each other, they aren't going to have any incentive to believe that's what their role is. I'm not saying they have no responsibility to not post terrible, rage-batey hot takes, but I also have a responsibility to not engage with those things. I'm their customer, and I shouldn't be shocked that they keep selling me things I keep buying. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

The Arizona State University collaboration is so exciting because it's really made clear to me a lot of failings of higher education. There are SO MANY PEOPLE whose higher ed experience involves loans but no degree. There are better ways to do this...to include more people, to lower costs, to lower barriers to knowledge. It's super exciting. Also, for the people who got this far...yes, I do occasionally have a meeting about whether my books could ever someday be turned into a TV show or something...but as you probably have learned by now...that means nothing!!! Right now, it's just a fun time for people to tell me how much they like my work :-).

The Woman Who Invented Stuffed Animals

In which John discusses the extraordinary life of Margarete Steiff and the invention of stuffed animals. I first learned about Margarete Steiff while researching the (genuinely astonishing) history of teddy bears; you can listen to my essay on them here: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anthropocene-reviewed/episodes/anthropocene-reviewed-teddy-bears-and-penalty-shootouts History is both a story of individual people making choices, and a story of systems interacting, and stuffed animals are for me a way into glimpsing some of the complex interplays that create historical change.

Is it Better Not to Know?

2PF5AAEAWTs | 27 Aug 2021

Is it Better Not to Know?

I think one of the difficult thing with how the world exists right now is that we're asked to care about, like, everything. I cannot care about everything and I SHOULD NOT care about everything, because if I do care about everything, I will care incorrectly about a lot of things. Instead, get this, different people need to care about different things deeply, rather than a lot of people caring about things on only a surface level. Like, everyone caring a little bit about ocean plastic has caused the problem of people focusing on straws when we should be focusing international fishing regulations, decreasing international poverty, and supporting waste management infrastructure in other countries. Not saying any of this is easy...but I am saying DO NOT PUT MY SHOEBOX IN A COTTON BAG. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

Who Owns Nerdfighteria?

Who Owns Nerdfighteria?

In which John reads Jennifer Burek Pierce's book Narratives, Nerdfighters, and New Media and thinks about who captures the value of work done by sprawling collectives in virtual places--including online communities like nerdfighteria. The book in question: https://www.uipress.uiowa.edu/books/9781609387181/narratives-nerdfighters-and-new-media Keeping this video to four minutes meant glossing over a lot of details that I think are interesting/important relating to the assignation of value in online communities, but one that I really want to highlight is that money is not the only form of currency online. As the book explores, attention is an important and valuable resource that is extensively exchanged online.

How We Fix the Climate

wcMLFMsIVis | 13 Aug 2021

How We Fix the Climate

We should act as if this is an emergency, because it is. But part of that is understanding the tools and strategies countries are using to decarbonize and stabilize the climate. This is work that's already being done. We have already decoupled economic growth from the emission of greenhouse gasses which, frankly, was unthinkable just a couple decades ago. We need to be thinking and talking about this stuff, and one really important piece of that is understanding this stuff so we can talk about it and advocate for it. And, good news, it's all actually pretty fascinating!!

My Physicalmental Illness

2QJuEq-tRGE | 10 Aug 2021

My Physicalmental Illness

In which John discusses labyrinthitis, OCD, categories, the body in thought, and the body in pain. TWO MAJOR NOTES: 1. Stigma is complicated. When it comes to stigma around mental illness, I've found this paper extremely helpful (I reread it often): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3248273/ One heavily stigmatized illness not mention in the video is HIV, and there has been a lot of research around the causes (and the consequences) of stigma w/r/t HIV; I recommend this overview: https://www.icrw.org/publications/common-at-its-core-hiv-related-stigma-across-contexts/ But in general, illness is stigmatized partly based on our ability to treat them/our level of understanding, partly based on who tends to be most affected by them, and partly based on what the illness does and which bodily systems it affects (like, colon diseases are stigmatized in a way that heart diseases aren't). All of this has real impacts on health and healthcare delivery. Consider, for instance, this famous study showing racial disparities in pain assessment and treatment recommendations: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4843483/) 2. This is largely coincidental, but I think it's interesting that it's possible to imagine a patient with OCD being treated with both the medications that were used to treat my labyrinthitis. Althought it is not widely administered, meclizine (which is primarily an anti-nausea medication; you may know it as dramamine or antivert) may have some ability to treat so-called "diminished gating" in patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3895242/), and diazapam (commonly known in the U.S. as valium) is often prescribed to treat severe anxiety and panic attacks. (With regular use, patients often become tolerant to diazapam and/or physically dependent upon it, so it is often--or should be, anyway--prescribed with constraint and careful monitoring.) p.s.

Remembering What's Special

Remembering What's Special

I mean, can you believe this? Like the idea that this is a "YouTube channel" is so preposterous. There isn't a name for what this is, and I'm OK with that. I recognize that the focus on enjoyment and accomplishment (and the lack of focus on frustrations) means that this community is better at some things than other things. But I'm glad to be realizing that not everything has to be everything. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

Can You Trust Science Too Much?

6ZKBX3fsaQ8 | 30 Jul 2021

Can You Trust Science Too Much?

Science is a human-created process that is undergoing constant revision and it is the best tool we have for uncovering truth. It's not a bunch of facts, it's not an ideology. It's imperfect and influenced by bias, but it is also very good at decreasing the affects of bias. Forcing science to stand up next to systems that use entirely different rules is super frustrating, and I have been very disheartened by how effective that has been for getting people to abandon expertise for some guy who has opinions. But I am also frustrated by people who treat science like it's an ideology...who take whatever is the current consensus and attack people who want to add to it or challenge it as if they are anti-science or a political opponent. The nice thing is that we do have lots of randomized controlled trials for several different vaccines so, like, let's definitely do that. But we also need to keep investigating anti-virals and treatments for sick people because, like, we're not out of the woods yet...

Should You Abandon Social Media?

OWJyzceCtZE | 16 Jul 2021

Should You Abandon Social Media?

Did I make a video called "is twitter redeemable" last month? Yes I did. Do I think about Twitter a lot? Yes. Too much? Probably. Ultimately, the moments when I feel like I can't control myself on social media are the ones when I most shouldn't be using social media. Right now, I feel relatively in control. Whenever I'm not able to control myself, I need to not be there. I also try not to communicate with anyone else in my life in moments when I am not in control. It seems like a fairly basic rule, and yet often people seem to prefer messages from those who are out of control, or from those who cause others to lose control.

Wrong on the Internet

bvAznN_MPWQ | 09 Jul 2021

Wrong on the Internet

I think we need to interface with the climate crisis like it is an emergency and taking personal action is a great way to both have a small impact on the world, but also to incorporate into your identity, and demonstrate to others that this is a thing that you care a lot about. Let's always remember that climate is a justice issue. Affluent people will be far less negatively impacted than those who have less, and that goes for inside borders and across them. Everything we can do to slow the gushing of CO2 and CH4 into our atmosphere is something that will make this a more just planet. It's time to act...that means advocating for carbon taxes and keeping coal, oil, and gas in the ground, but it also means making thoughtful choices about your own impact. Those things are additive, not subtractive.

So...Orange Juice isn't What it Seems...

My favorite thing about the fact that all orange juices are flavored is how much the orange juice industry freaks about when people talk about it, so we'll see if I get a letter from them. Anyway, the fact that they think OJ being "flavored" is the problem and not the part where it's an inherently unhealthy sugar beverage is really something. Will we ever move beyond this? Maybe not...

My Greatest Tool Against Vaccine Misinformation

BLQQMtC3dnI | 11 Jun 2021

My Greatest Tool Against Vaccine Misinformation

I think there is a place for taking the time to fight against individual claims...but the thing you don't want to do is engage with the people who are not going to be convinced by anything...the people who have tied their identity and often even their livelihoods to believing that the government is trying to kill people (or something) because engaging with them only shines more light on them, and they will never run out of ways to move the goalposts and extend the argument. THAT'S THEIR JOB AND THEY LIKE IT! But when someone asks me, "Why did it seem like vaccines were going to solve everything, and now it doesn't seem like they are?" that's not a question to get mad at, it's a normal question that people have about their world. But then there are the questions that people have because they've been engaging with the professional misinformers. Questions like, "Why don't you think the vaccines are more harmful than the virus when...**some long string of quacky theories about hidden vaccine-related illness**" and the answer is just like, "Because you're being manipulated and everything you just said was a lie." The answer I want to have to that isn't "stop lying." Instead it's "I am so grateful to the people who made these vaccines (and their distribution) possible, and who have freed me from some of the frustration and fear that I've experienced over the last year, and people saying that those folks are evil or ignorant are doing them (and you) a tremendous disservice." ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

Influencers and Insurrectionists

Influencers and Insurrectionists

I keep hearing people talk about whether it was Facebook or Fox News or Donald Trump who led us down this deep mess of radicalization. But it's feeling more and more to me like those are all the same things. Donald Trump is the essence of a conservative radio host. Facebook hosts Fox News, Trump's decisions and tweets determine what's on Fox News which determine what he's thinking about, which controls what's happening on Facebook which informs Fox News which informs Donald Trump. The deeper mechanism is that, if you let this self-reinforcing feedback loop run, everyone in it gets more radicalized every day. That's true on the left as well, just much less so. Why that is, is easy to speculate about, but I'm certainly not certain. This is a real mess we're in, and I think it's important to recognize that social media is just media now. We are all influencers, and we all have a responsibility to use our creation and our attention in ways that aren't destructive. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

In Which Hank Worries for a Little Bit and then Looks at Microbes

Did I record an entire video about voting rights and coups and leaders of this country thinking they could ride tigers without getting bitten by them? Yes! Yes I did.

In 1990 I Made a Bunch of Predictions About 2020...Here they Are

I kept finding this and being like, "I need to safe this for 2020." And I swear, I almost forgot about it but I was cleaning my office this week and found it and was like, "OH THANK GOD YES YES YES I DIDN'T MISS IT!" So that was exciting.

Auld Lang Syne: The Anthropocene Reviewed

nGzeMNxqpYU | 31 Dec 2020

Auld Lang Syne: The Anthropocene Reviewed

The Anthropocene Reviewed is a podcast: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anthropocene-reviewed And will soon be a book. Every copy of the first printing will be signed by me. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/672554/the-anthropocene-reviewed-signed-edition-by-john-green/ Learn about the Amy Krouse Rosenthal Foundation: https://www.amykrouserosenthalfoundation.org/ This video features an episode of the podcast "The Anthropocene Reviewed" in which John Green discusses his friendship with the writer Amy Krouse Rosenthal and the long, winding history of "Auld Lang Syne," which has become the world's New Year's Eve song. The clip at the end is from this video about Amy's 8/8/08 gathering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QVQSZA9zSk This episode of the podcast was edited by Stan Muller, mixed by Joe Plourde, and scored by Hannis Brown. Jenny Lawton and Rosianna Halse Rojas produced. The video is of water flowing in the White River, which flows southwest from Indianapolis into the Wabash River, and then into the Mississippi River, where it will meet with water that flowed from the Chicago River to the Des Plains River to the Illinois River and then to the Mississippi. In this way, the river that flowed near Amy's neighborhood will meet with the river that flowed through my neighborhood, which is something I think about sometimes when I feel very lonely. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

Would I Take a COVID Vaccine?

A thing I really wish I'd had time to say in this video...now that we have vaccines that will be being distributed within 30 days, it is even more valuable to stay home, wear masks, and prevent the spread of this disease. Before now, we were buying time for some eventual moment that we didn't even know would come. Now we are buying time for a goal we can actually see...and a goal that isn't far off. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://pih.org/hankandjohnmatch John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

How We Teach: Individualist Stories

srVVqWTJHE8 | 13 Nov 2020

How We Teach: Individualist Stories

I'm sorry if this one is dense! Rarely do I feel like I really need more than four minutes, but this time I did!! Two things I've been thinking about: 1. When I say that shared worldviews and knowledge helps us communicate and work together, I don't mean that we CANNOT work together without shared stories...obviously we can! I just think that education provides us with shared knowledge that allows us to work together more effectively. I honestly think this is one of the main benefits of college education...just giving people shared frames to simplify communication. Which, of course, is terrible when higher education is denied to people who can't afford the ludicrous costs and then people are like, "There's just some reason why it's a little harder to work with people who didn't go to college" or, worse, "This person doesn't know about X or Y thing and so they must be stupid" when, actually, they just didn't get the EXACT SAME education as you, asshole. We need to get better at working with people who do not have shared frames, and that should be part of education. 2. Being the kind of person for whom barriers to success were basically non-existent does NOT mean that success is guaranteed. Both luck and hard work are necessary even when there are no barriers. But the absence of a barrier is not the same thing as luck for me. To me, luck is writing a Harry Potter song that got me invited to a Harry Potter convention that resulted in me meeting a conference organizer who helped me build VidCon. Luck is not being born with enough money in the bank that I never had student loans...while almost all of my peers did have student loans. That's structural inequality. I think getting confused about that can lead to a lot of successful people thinking that, just because they had to work hard AND get lucky, that anyone on earth could have had the same outcome with the same luck and hard work. 3. Oh, and also, turns out there were three. Success is arbitrary and it is what you decide it is and individualist narratives are also narratives that re-inforce a very specific thing as the best possible outcome. While many people find a great deal of satisfaction in lives that won't be written into books AND THEY SHOULD.

Just Some Election Thoughts...

Just Some Election Thoughts...

I recorded this video last night, so it is already a little out of date. For example, Joe Biden is almost certain to be the next president of the United States. I'm sorry if this video is a bit more somber and less hopeful than I should properly be, Montana's elections did not go well, so I'm feeling that. But a Biden / Harris presidency is vital...it was hard fought and it's going to make the world a VERY different place than it otherwise would have been. I am so grateful to every person who participated to make this change happen. I am in their debt, and so is the whole damn world. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://secure.pih.org/a/be-the-match-for-sierra-leone John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

Civilization and the Lies We Love

Civilization and the Lies We Love

Everything at http://pizzamas.com disappears tomorrow, so get your pizzamas stuff now! In which John discusses broken femurs, Margaret Mead, civilization, and the human capacity for sacrifice. SOURCES: This whole video is a revision of the anthropocene reviewed episode on civilization: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anthropocene-reviewed/episodes/anthropocene-reviewed-mortification-civilization This post from the bioarchaeologist Stacy Hackner helped me think differently about the Margaret Mead (non-)quote and the incidence of healed femurs in humans and non-human animals. https://stacyhackner.wordpress.com/2020/04/21/that-margaret-mead-quote/#:~:text=Years%20ago%2C%20anthropologist%20Margaret%20Mead,of%20civilization%20in%20a%20culture.&text=Mead%20said%20that%20the%20first,been%20broken%20and%20then%20healed. This Stack Exchange thread tracked down the seemingly original (and almost certainly invented) source of the Margaret Mead quote: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/47543/did-margaret-mead-say-that-a-healed-femur-is-the-earliest-sign-of-civilization Actual Margaret Mead on civilization and much else can be read here: https://berghahnbooks.com/downloads/chapters/MeadStudying_Ch02.pdf ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://secure.pih.org/a/be-the-match-for-sierra-leone John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

What Matters

Pizzamas week 2 begins! http://www.pizzamas.com/ I started thinking about this video in the context of Donald Trump, just trying to understand how you get to a place where you a very particular perception of strength...the hollowness of bullying people and gathering power around yourself without even any clear vision for what should or could be done with that power could be so integral to someone's self worth.

I have been working on this video for like two years, I think about Mr. Delicious at least once a week. He sells aluminum siding, but also goes to Bora Bora with...sex workers? Maybe? He's on his second marriage. He spends too much time at a bar called The Rusty Anchor. He is both effete and signals that he is wealthy while also being working-class? He also likes to read ROMANCE NOVELS WHILE EATING RAX?! So I guess that's what in the suitcase???

I ain't she was with well and I so and it's and but so and I'll and

HAHAHAHA WE DID IT!!!! See you next week for Pizzamas! Yes, the title of this video are the left-over interestitial bits of Smash Mouth's All Star that have not been part of Vlogbrothers titles over the last five months...and I guess that means WE'RE DONE?!?!? With whatever the heck we were doing!?!? Anyway, Pizzamas begins next week! Note: I made this video yesterday when there was not quite so much NEWS in the world, but honestly I don't know if I would have done anything different. I think it's very early to have many thoughts other than, like, compassion is not forgiveness...it is not something you do for someone else, but something that helps me understand the world better. And when I say I don't want Donald Trump to suffer, that includes with illness, but it also includes me not wanting him to suffer from the way he is terrified any loss of power, or that he mistakes cruelty for toughness, or that he seems to believe that illness is a character flaw. Donald Trump's suffering has caused suffering in the lives of millions of people, and not wanting him to be ill does not have any affect on whether someone is furious and sad and frustrated by the suffering his suffering has wrought. As for what his diagnosis means, I don't know. I am a little sick of the amount of uncertainty this year has brought, but I also don't have much choice in the matter, and I shouldn't pretend to know things when I don't know them. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://secure.pih.org/a/be-the-match-for-sierra-leone John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

They Say it Gets Colder

NoTsNPpwoSo | 18 Sep 2020

They Say it Gets Colder

The thing to remember here is that finding life on another planet tells us one of very two things...and we will be able to figure out which thing pretty quickly. Either: 1. The life will contain clear signals that it is related to life on Earth, which will tell us that life can and does travel between planets. This would be huge, and it we could even potentially track how long it has been since the two lineages diverged. 2. The life will contain clear signals that it is not related to life on Earth, which would tell us that life can arise relatively easily, and mean that the Universe is filled with living systems. It would also allow us to study a living system that is not our's which is one of the most exciting things I can imagine. But again, it's entirely possible that life is rare, and that it only arose once in our solar system. Only one way to find out!

Well, we kinda have, we did an algebra course in partnership with Arizona State University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_QINscHY3Q But also, it's down to a general frustration we have and a disagreement about what to do about that frustration. The frustration is that, if you teach mathematics in a way that will help students do well on tests, that is a very different course from one that focuses on the beauty and joy of math. Crash Course's goal is to always be both of those things at the same time, but we've had a hard time figuring out how to do that. I'm not saying it's impossible, just that we've hard a really hard time figuring out how to do it. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://secure.pih.org/a/be-the-match-for-sierra-leone John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

Break the Mold

Some advice for being a person in the year 2020, couched in a conversation about TikTok. Of course, there are reasons clear paths exist, they are good paths. And we should absolutely do our best to utilize them. Otherwise, it is very easy to get lost. But we lose something when we never look to the side to see if there might be another way, especially when the other paths get real clogged up...or blocked by a big shitty tree that just fell across it. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://secure.pih.org/a/be-the-match-for-sierra-leone John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

The Water's Getting Warm

If there is one true thing about humans, it's that we're hyper-adaptable, problem-solving machines. I think, long term, we've got this. But there's going to be a lot of bad along the way, and it hurts a lot to see the bad getting worse in real time. Sometimes sacrifices are forced, and sometimes they are given. Let's try to make a world where the former alleviates the latter. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://secure.pih.org/a/be-the-match-for-sierra-leone John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

Little known fact, I minored in art in undergrad.

Your Brain Gets Smart, but Your Head Gets Dumb

qAOIwKxPy1Q | 31 Jul 2020

Your Brain Gets Smart, but Your Head Gets Dumb

There's lots in here that I don't explain fully, but one thing I wanted to talk about more is why I think that online school is definitionally less valuable than in-person school. First, this is tendencies, there maybe some portion of the population for whom it is better, but in-person is easier to capture and keep attention, easier to receive non-verbal feedback from a class, easier for classmates to build relationships and thus help each other (with classwork and with life stuff...and also sometimes for the rest of their lives.) But I think it's also been made fairly clear (at least in the way schools spend money) that a great deal of the value delivered by college is outside of the classroom. The college experience is valuable, and that's a LOT of what people are paying for. I think it's safe to say that, if you're mostly paying for streaming video, $50,000 is too much. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info Learn more about our project to help Partners in Health radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone: https://www.pih.org/hankandjohn If you're able to donate $2,000 or more to this effort, please join our matching fund: https://secure.pih.org/a/be-the-match-for-sierra-leone John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org Book club: http://www.lifeslibrarybookclub.com/

To find out more about my books and where / how to buy them, go to http://www.hankgreen.com Ideas are absolutely a kind of magic. There is individual synthesis in how and whether things stick, but inspiration isn't 99% perspiration...that's a weird bad term. Innovation??? DEFINITELY 99% perspiration. But inspiration is, for me, 99% things I already know and 1% something I'm adding. That's fine! That's not something to be ashamed of or to feel like an imposter because you're not really adding anything. That 1% is MAGIC...it's HUGE...it's EVERYTING. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

So Much to Do

TexV9aTF-Ho | 05 Jun 2020

So Much to Do

Old-school Nerdfighter and writer and activist and policy strategist (and former campaign manager for Julian Castro), Maya Rupert, took the time to talk with me about police brutality toward Black people, how she's feeling, how privilege works, and what we should be doing right now and also forever. So You Want to Talk About Race: https://bookshop.org/books/so-you-want-to-talk-about-race/9781580058827 This video originally had a section pointing people to the work of 8cantwait.org, but that has since been removed. Ultimately, much of this conversation moved beyond their suggestions and some questions have been raised about how significantly their suggestions would reduce police violence. We're no saying 8cantwait.org is necessarily bad, but that we didn't feel wholeheartedly comfortable pointing to them as a sole resource. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBFYQu1ZYD0&list=PLMs_JcuNozJb9oaX6KT1l_-T7tZuVU_9X Also, here are some essays you can read online: 1. Clint Smith's essay on becoming a parent in the age of Black Lives Matter: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/becoming-a-parent-in-the-age-of-black-lives-matter/612448/ 2. Professor Carol Anderson on 1919 and now:  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/commentisfree/2020/jun/02/in-1919-the-state-failed-to-protect-black-americans-a-century-later-its-still-failing 3. Ibram X. Kendi's "The American Nightmare." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/american-nightmare/612457/ 4. I also recommend The 1619 Project:  https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/1619-america-slavery.html BOOKS: Here's a selection of books and essays I've found helpful in learning about racism and its centrality to American life: Ibram X. Kendi's "How to Be an Antiracist" and "Stamped from the Beginning" Carol Anderson's "One Person, No Vote" Audre Lorde's "The Uses of Anger," which can be read here: https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/speeches-african-american-history/1981-audre-lorde-uses-anger-women-responding-racism/  (And also Audre Lorde's essay collection "Sister Outsider")  Ta-Nehisi Coates's "We Were Eight Years in Power" Toni Morrison's "The Source of Self-Regard"  Mari Evans's "I Am a Black Woman" James Baldwin's "The Fire Next Time"  Cameron McWhirter's "Red Summer" Jacqueline Woodson's "Who Can Tell My Story," which can be read here: https://www.hbook.com/?detailStory=who-can-tell-my-story Zora Neale Hurston's "Barracoon"  Isabel Wilkerson's "The Warmth of Other Suns" Harriet Washington's "Medical Apartheid" Lastly, some of you have asked us what you can do to help, or what we're doing. I look to leaders in affected communities for those answers; one guide can be found here: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# On a personal level, Sarah and I are focused on 1. supporting underfunded public libraries that serve large African American communities, and 2. criminal justice reform, including the misuse of bail to jail people who have not been convicted of a crime. For more info on that, check out https://bailproject.org/ Hank has been focused on fundraising for https://www.nlg-npap.org/ but again, we think it's critical to begin philanthropy from a place of listening, and in both our cases, we learned about these organizations and priorities from listening to people affected by anti-Black racism in the U.S., and we are still trying to listen and learn.

Every time someone has approached us with an opportunity to put our content someplace new, we have been very wary and worried about it. Obviously, YouTube is not some virtuous non-profit, but moving off YouTube wouldn't just be something we were doing to our content, it would be something we were doing to /you/ and that still seems like some kind of betrayal. Only once I've watched people start to do it was I able to articulate why. This isn't something I feel like I could sell because it is not something I feel like I own. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

The Meteor Men Beg to Differ // Judging by the Hole in the Satellite Picture

When two lines rhyme, they are intended to both convey meaning, and lock tightly into the aesthetic structure of the song. At least, that's my opinion.

The hammerheaded bat will occasionally pop up on your timeine and it's important to note that they are not as big as they look, but they are EXACTLY as weird as they look, at least the males are. It's almost upsetting...like, fruit bats are mostly really quite cute because there's no reason for evolution to torture their face into acoustically useful tools. And yet, even though it could have been cute, evolution was like, "No, I will sexually select you into making the worst possible noise with the worst possible face." Anyway, I love them.

Take a Break with Some Feather Stars

Crinoids are freaking great. More info on DFTBA! If you have an order that hasn't shipped yet, it will ship, we're just not entirely sure when. The state of Montana has requested nonessential businesses close down until at least April 10th, but it will likely be longer than that. We will re-open! We should be able to send out all orders we received up until this morning, but if you had an item on pre-order, that may not ship. If you need to request a refund or something else, our customer service folks are still working! [email protected] Because we need to have one person in the warehouse for security reasons, it's possible that a few simple orders (including bizarre beasts shipments) will still go out, but don't hold your breath, it depends on how much work we need to do to keep things stable. Thanks to everyone who has bought stuff from DFTBA.com over the years. We built a reserve fund for a rainy day, and though we did not expect things to get so soggy we will be able to keep our staff paid during this sucky time. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

The Sudden Obliteration of Expectation

The Sudden Obliteration of Expectation

The way we make sense of the world is mostly invisible to us...but times like this can make it visible. There have been moments in my life my expectations have evaporated and I have felt lost without an anchor. We're starting to realize that we're in a moment like that right now. Maybe it won't be a huge shift...here's hoping, but it's already been unsettling and life-changing for many people, so we're going to have to find our new normal. Also, when it comes to how we need to handle this...this article from Aaron Carroll is very good. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/how-we-beat-coronavirus/608389/ And when it comes to how people react during times of crisis, this is also good: https://www.wired.com/story/coronavirus-mass-panic-unlikely-pandemic/ ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

The Anxious Scroll

q6xA-oh6xUM | 13 Mar 2020

The Anxious Scroll

This video was recorded after our tour got cut short (for obvious and completely understandable reasons.) We're all searching for clear and simple information right now, but while there are lots of things that we know (we need more testing, there are ways to slow spread and that will protect the most vulnerable populations and help keep the healthcare system from being overwhelmed (and they include handwashing, social distancing, and ending large events.)) But there are also a lot of unknowns. And there are lots of people who have reasons for wanting us to think things are more certain than they are...but they just aren't. But the outcome does depend on us...but also the outcome depends on us taking care of ourselves and not letting the stress, loneliness, and uncertainty of now control us. Part of that, for me, is reaching out and talking to people...whether that's on the phone or online...but doing it in spaces that are not performative and are not public. That might be a private chat, a video game, a phone call, or just some nice long emails. Find your way and reach out to the people who matter. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

Ending The Great Airplane Seat Debate

l92iw8lGOFw | 14 Feb 2020

Ending The Great Airplane Seat Debate

(tour information below) I just want to settle this and be done with it but, guess what, that's not going to happen. If you haven't seen the video, don't watch it, it's dumb. One person asked another person not to recline, and she didn't....which, to my eyes, is definitely impolite. But then he jiggled and punched and jiggled her chair to try and get her to move, which is shows a lack of coping skills that boggles my mind. The recline debate is a perfect one...you are given a seat and you are given a choice...but it is also zero sum...when you recline, you take someone else's space. And so, given the modern airplane seat situation, you are given the choice to inconvenience someone else (and yes, that's really what it is, sorry recliners!) So I come down on understanding that it can be annoying when the seat goes back, but sometimes I understand it's necessary. We will face many imperfect situations in our lives, many of them caused by other people, and often we will see those people as acting in unjustified ways but, like, storms are also imperfect, so is illness...we need to see some of these differences of understanding not as flaws, but as simple unavoidable imperfections in society. Also, just a note, if you imagine every situation as a battle, you will win more battles, but you will also be constantly losing them. Better not not be in a battle at all if you don't have to be.

How Many Stars are in the Sky?

How Many Stars are in the Sky?

If you want to spend a little time with one of the best pictures humanity has ever taken, you can do it at this website right here: http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/glimpse360/aladin The Spitzer mission ended this week after more than a decade of operation. When it first launched, in order to eliminate all sources of infrared radiation, the telescope had a store of liquid helium on board that kept it just two degrees warmer than interstellar space. Eventually, that helium ran out, and it kept doing its mission, but eventually its ability to take these amazing photos degraded and now the mission has ended. Part of the reason it created this amazing image was to map out potential candidates for future examination by other telescopes, particularly the James Webb Space Telescope which will launch (fingers crossed) in March of 2021. It's also an IR telescope, so it will give us even better views of our galaxy (and others.) ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

You'll get $50,000 2. You'll get mentorship and advice 3. You'll get the support of Nerdfighteria 1. You'll give the $50,000 back to decrease maternal mortality in Sierra Leone if you can within three years. 2. You'll give 10% of all after-tax profit to strengthen public health in Sierra Leone forever. If your business sells, you will give 10% of whatever money you make selling the business to that same effort.

Race, gender, nationality, age, socio-economic status, education, sexual orientation, etc. That's one of my favorite parts of the process and gets spread out over a number of months.

But if you noticed the ghost of that argument hiding in this video...well done.  Also, I made this video yesterday, so I didn't have time to consider the geopolitics of January 3, 2020. However, I am also not an expert on Iran, so I basically have nothing useful to say except, "It's ok to not know what's going on right now.

Why I'm Worried about 2020

Why I'm Worried about 2020

We are used to moving forward...so much so that moving back a little bit could seem really big and really scary to people. I feel like we've moved back some, particularly when it comes to global faith in democracy. I think that's a hit that was brought on by the social internet, but also by increasing inequality, and political pundits, operatives, and TV news that wants people to be as freaked out as possible. But just because being freaked out is bad doesn't mean that worry is bad, and this video is about that.

In the wild, they would not talk as much as Kemosabe, because they wouldn't want to call attention to themselves and Kemo is, apparently, more vocal than most captive porcs.

Can You Be a Good Person in 2019?

_AQVUgSi_Ok | 06 Nov 2019

Can You Be a Good Person in 2019?

The third season of The Good Place made me think a lot of things. Like, too many for a four minute video, but also, I think I managed to shove a lot in here. One thing I didn't get it as that there's actually a bad side to the way folks like me like to engage with the world. There's the curiosity about why the world is the way that it is, that's good. There's a desire to make the world better, that's good. But there is also a real interest in, like, just finding reasons why things are bad. It's a cognitive bias towards "the world sucks" and I kinda hate it. It's generally strongest in backlash to the popularity of something, and I kinda hate it. I think people can sometimes conflate a desire to care for the world with a desire to tear down LITERALLY EVERYTHING. And when people actually do get off on tearing things down just for the fun of it, it delegitimizes the real problems. Folks who like to see things in a fairly simple way see that behavior and they think, "Oh, that's just liberals, they hate everything." We need to do more than hate, we need to see the world through more than just the lens of judgement and objectivism.

This Cat Makes No Sense

The Pin Club is Back Open! But only briefly! https://store.dftba.com/collections/vlogbrothers/products/pin-pals-bizarre-beasts-pin-subscriptions-9-months Pallas' Cat is more closely related to house cats than many wild cats (though not as close as some) but still split off from any of it's ancestors 5 to 6 million years ago. For comparison, our ancestors were still interbreeding with the ancestors of chimpanzees six million years ago. But they do have this one strange feature that doesn't make any sense. But despite the fact that it probably doesn't help them survive, it does make them cute to humans...so if it convinces us to keep captive breeding programs...this less-than-useless attribute may actually (oddly enough) save them.

They Hacked Me

Thank you to Sherri Davidoff from LMG Security for helping me both with this video and also with recovering from my hack. If you're thinking "I won't get hacked, I'm not a public person like Hank," that does NOT protect you. Most hacks are just looking to make a quick buck, and they might just hang out in your email and wait until it looks like you're going to make a significant financial decision like buying a house or a car, and then strike just at the worst possible moment. Take it seriously!

Your Life Will be Better After you Know About Frogmouths

Your Life Will be Better After you Know About Frogmouths

Frogmouths are a kind of night-hunting, bug-loving bird that live in India, Southeast Asia, and Australia. They're very good at catching bugs and hiding and very bad at building nests. They mate for life and, in places where there are cars, they are very good at getting hit by them because they fly toward the bugs that are illuminated by headlights. Dangit.

Why Are Poor Countries Poor?

snj6W9c8VIo | 02 Oct 2019

Why Are Poor Countries Poor?

In which John looks at the vicious cycles of poverty and poor health in Sierra Leone, including how the ebola crisis happened and why a center of diamond mining has become one of the poorest regions in the world. For the last year and a half, Hank and I have been working on a big, long-term project with Partners in Health Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, and one of the highest child mortality rates, and we believe that can change with long-term investments in Sierra Leone's healthcare system. The project will be announced later this month, and this video explores some of the why. Thanks to Jon Lascher at Partners in Health for the pictures of the Koidu Government Hospital before PIH arrived, and for taking a look at this script. Thanks also to Rosianna Halse Rojas for her help with images and editorial guidance.

"end the stigma"

kGysION6qAI | 17 Sep 2019

"end the stigma"

In which John discusses what actually causes the stigmatization of certain health conditions, and how best to fight stigma. SOURCES: The article about how perceptions of peril, origins, and perceived controllability affect stigmatization was very helpful to me. (It even has a visual aid!): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3248273/ This report about HIV-related stigma across geographical and social contexts was very helpful for me, and included lots of observations about how gender and socioeconomic class affect stigmatization: https://www.icrw.org/publications/common-at-its-core-hiv-related-stigma-across-contexts/ (As you'll see, there are also many examples here of how mere education/information does not end stigma, although it can help.) This paper explores stigma in mental illness and why "awareness" alone has not decreased it much: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3353607/ and lastly I was helped by this article on mental illness stigma: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/why-we-worry/201308/mental-health-stigma ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! https://nerdfighteria.com/nerdfighteria-newsletter And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

You Need to Know About This Caterpillar

You Need to Know About This Caterpillar

Citheronia regalis is a giant silk moth...though these don't actually produce silk, which is why it's better to go by their family name saturniidae. Citheronia regalis actually digs into the ground to pupate instead of building a cocoon, so...no silk. There are over 2400 species of saturniid moths and each of them have this same life cycle. They stuff themselves with food during their caterpillar stage and then use their adult, flying stage only as a way to find a mate for the next generation.

The Earth Shouldn't Have Oxygen

BYNqebDBjQQ | 30 Aug 2019

The Earth Shouldn't Have Oxygen

A balanced carbon cycle produces as much CO2 as O2, and yet, there are 209,460 ppm of oxygen in the atmosphere and only 440 ppm of CO2 (up from the recent baseline of 275). My first thought was that the CO2 is temporarily stored in vegetation, but the vegetative carbon sink doesn't store anywhere near enough CO2 to affect the O2 levels in the atmosphere. If we burned ALL THE VEGEATATION ON EARTH the oxygen concentration of the planet would drop by less than 1%. The CO2 storage of live vegetation is massively important for global warming, but it has no effect on our ability to breathe. SO WHY CAN WE BREATHE!? I got curious, so I made this video.

The Amazon isn't "Burning" - It's Being Burned

zhESYHHbzsc | 23 Aug 2019

The Amazon isn't "Burning" - It's Being Burned

This is a thing that is happening right now, and (taking a page from the global warming playbook) a think I've been hearing from Bolsonaro's supporters is, "Who even knows how bad it is...deforestation is actually down." It's so sad to watch us play with words and numbers when the reality is obvious to anyone with eyes. "Deforestation" is down because when you don't count burning, and we don't know how much land has been burned because it's still burning and determining the extent of a forest fire is extremely labor intensive. It takes time to do these surveys. But what we do know for sure is that the number of fires is up all over the Amazon. And we also know that Bolsonaro's government had decreased inspections dramatically, put military officials in charge of environmental organizations, and fired every scientist who publicly disagrees with him. There has never been a greater reminder that nationalism is a disaster of an ideology, and that how we imagine the world and who we end up voting for matters. A lot.

The Mexican Repatriation

Nv2EoJ9RYXs | 30 Jul 2019

The Mexican Repatriation

In which John discusses The Mexican Repatriation of the 1930s, a story from U.S. History he learned about only recently. SOURCES: The most comprehensive history of this period I found is a book called Decade of Betrayal by Francisco E. Balderrama and Raymond Rodriguez. It was there I first learned the story of Jose Lopez. The wikipedia article about The Repatriation of the Great Depression-era is quite good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Repatriation The 2017 paper that found the deportations either has no impact on U.S. unemployment or else made it slightly worse: https://www.nber.org/papers/w23885 This NPR story connects some of the current concerns about immigration to the Repatriation: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/09/08/437579834/mass-deportation-may-sound-unlikely-but-its-happened-before This analysis found that a majority of the most commonly used U.S. history textbooks do not mention the deportations that occurred during the Depression: https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/education/2006-04-04-history-books_x.htm I got the map in this video from this page that is also a good introduction to the land annexation that happened due to the Mexican-American War and the Gadsden Purchase: http://www.thomaslegion.net/americancivilwar/mexicancessionlessonstudentsandkids.html ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

The Best $10,000 I Ever Spent

rpK4R60hW_A | 26 Jul 2019

The Best $10,000 I Ever Spent

I'm not an economist...and I don't actually know how to define value, but I know that fewer people taking medicine while more money gets made is /not/ creating value because it means there's more pain and suffering in the world. I think we, more than anything, need to realize that the definition of value is something that isn't settled. Sorry if this isn't what you were expecting. Ultimately, the money we have to spend is the best money we spend...but if there aren't systems in place to drive down the costs of those needs, we will spend everything we have on them. Those sources of extreme value: health, education, and housing being the big ones, can't be treated as if every drop of value should be extracted because, if that happens, the person will be impoverished by that system.

You Need to Know About This Ridiculous Fish

vVHyafcpssk | 05 Jul 2019

You Need to Know About This Ridiculous Fish

I got to see an Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola) up close and personal at the Monterey Bay Aquarium recently and I fell in love. These things are the superlative of superlatives. They are the biggest bony fish, they lay the most eggs of any vertebrate, and grow the most from egg to full size of any vertebrate. Yes, they're silly looking, but the whole thing about evolution is, whether we can figure out why or not, things don't survive if they aren't good at /something/. Sea turtles and mola mola, despite having deeply different lineages, actually share a lot of characteristics. They have the same shaped flippers, they both have beaks, they both rely on their size to protect them, and they both create lots of babies in the hopes that only a few will survive (though, Mola mola take this to a different level.) They're also both basically the same shape, which is super weird. And here's a wild thing, even though sea turtles evolved from land-dwelling reptiles, mola mola-like fish have actually been around for 100 million years while sea turtles have been around for over 200 million years. Now, I'm just guessing here, but this is possibly because they share a food source. That food source is low quality but abundant. It also doesn't move fast. So the mola mola evolved not for speed, but for efficiency. These flippers (like the ones that turtles and mola have) don't move you fast, but they also don't use much energy. The fecundity of sunfish might also have something to do with the variability of their prey. Jellies are notorious for being extremely abundant year and then disappearing the next. In a situation like that, you want to have the ability to rapidly increase your population and rapidly reach the age of maturity so that you can take advantage of prey population explosions.

How to Lie While Telling the Truth

JuR8jGnZV2U | 21 Jun 2019

How to Lie While Telling the Truth

TOUR DETAILS: https://www.hankgreen.com/events Once I started thinking about this video, I saw more of these lies at every turn. They're common in political speech, and insidious in their usefulness. Often, once you click on the headline or watch the video, you even find out that you had taken the wrong message from the headline. And then, in that case, you feel like it's your fault that you misunderstood...but let me tell you, no one things as much about headlines and titles as the people who write them. They know /exactly/ what they're doing. And you might think, "But if it's explained in the article...no one got hurt, right?" Except that the vast majority of people who see a headline do not read the article...the headline IS CONTENT and needs to be treated that way. The innocuous headlie is REALLY common on YouTube. Video titles like, "We need to talk..." or "I'm done with this!" create the lie that a big deal is happening, which makes you click...and find out that, like, their swimming pool has a leak. Like, I've done that, and I feel less bad about it when the lie someone might walk away with isn't about, like, global warming or the future of America. I just think we need more precise language than "clickbait" because sometimes, clickbait isn't bad...and there are lots of different ways clickbait works. The headlie is only one of them. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

What /Actually/ Happened at Chernobyl

hIGtTImeYU4 | 14 Jun 2019

What /Actually/ Happened at Chernobyl

This video was so dang fun to research, which, of course, I feel super guilty about because, like, real people died. But, after watching the HBO miniseries, I knew there was more to the science of this. I've also heard a lot of stuff from both credible and non-credible sources that just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. The idea of the "graphite tipped rods" for example is just a simplification for broad audiences. But I've also heard smart folks talk about how RBMK reactors have a positive /fuel/ temperature coefficient, which is not true. No nuclear reactors do, since fuel that reacted more as it got hot would be the kind of thing that would explode every time. However, for a moment, because water had become such a vital part of the neutron absorption in the reactor, it did have a positive temperature coefficient...meaning that getting hotter made it hotter which made it hotter which made it hotter. That's a coefficient for the entire reactor, and it's due to the "positive void coefficient" where, as the water got hotter, it got less good at absorbing neutrons. Usually that would be more than counter-acted by the negative fuel temperature coefficient, which is why they thought it couldn't explode...but it was not in this particular circumstance. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

8 Things I Wish I Knew When I was Writing my First Novel

All-in-all, I think the second book has been easier than the first for me. This is (I have heard) not the usual experience. In part, I think this is because I didn't have to work as hard to create the characters (they already existed) and because I had some really strong ideas coming out of the last one. Still, there are some practical reasons why it was easier as well...just because I knew about them now. Ways in which I had previously misunderstood the writing process.

Uncomfortable Nuance: Natural Gas Edition

BBMC2_2BDxg | 31 May 2019

Uncomfortable Nuance: Natural Gas Edition

I almost titled this video "Is fracking good?" but I decided not to do that because, like, obviously, no. Anything that increases the amount of fossil fuels we can get out of the ground is bad. But, at the same time, natural gas is used for heat in much of America, and skyrocketing natural gas prices would be, like, bad for poor people who sometimes have to choose between bills. It's almost as if this is really freaking complicated. Most of the data in this video is from "Our World in Data" https://ourworldindata.org/fossil-fuels which, unfortunately, does not show an increase in growth in coal that has happened in Asia over the last two years. This is the very kind of increase that is terrible news because coal fired power plants have long lives and, once built, they tend to burn at full capacity for decades in order to pay for themselves. An increase in (regulated) fracking in Asia could help with an immediate end to new coal plants in China and India, which is probably the most important short-term goal to help curb the climate crisis. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Has a Secret

There was so much I wasn't able to tell you. Like, for example, most of the jellyfish on display at the aquarium are born and bred at the aquarium. They do active research on jellyfish breeding, which is a finicky thing, and every species has completely different needs. They also don't just grow the jellyfish, they have huge tanks of algae that they feed to the tiny animals that the jellyfish eat.

The Worst Product Ever

The Worst Product Ever

Waste is super not simple...so we have ways of simplifying it in our heads. The Flexplay DVD gives us insight into exactly how that works. We decide whether it's OK to throw something away by thinking about how valuable it is. A plastic bottle is just a container that holds something, but a DVD is the thing I purchased! Or...is it?

What Game of Thrones is Really About

ibg1-0gfwjI | 03 May 2019

What Game of Thrones is Really About

Contains Spoilers Because discussions of climate change are often so very dire, I do end this video on a positive note. That's something I went back and forth on a lot. Ultimately, what we're dealing with here isn't simple in terms of causes, problems, or solutions. We do see that economics are already making renewables more attractive. That is the path of least resistance, but it is also the slowest way to go. We need governments to take action but that is an extremely tall order with a global crisis and competitive nations. Will this ultimately be a force that drives us apart? Or will it be something that brings us together. There is actually a more positive way of looking at the outcome of Game of Thrones thus far...a common enemy brought an end to some, but not all petty squabbling. And maybe the unification brought by an external threat created an alliance that will show that one last squabbler a very bad time. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

It's Time to Care About "Business"

fn8Ok3ipZ-8 | 26 Apr 2019

It's Time to Care About "Business"

All work is business, and even if you're very isolated from the business parts, those things are very important to understand. You can watch Crash Course Business here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFeEAtXdzFU&list=PL8dPuuaLjXtMBsfP-lP28IFvfkISqJofM&index=2 I think the very idea of "business school" is a problem...the idea that business is separate from the rest of work. No. It's all business, and I think employees at every level should be given the capacity and the tools to understand the value of the work they are doing, and what role they play in a business. I also think that we should be opening the door to allowing more people who aren't like, passionate about becoming billionaires to be interested and aware of how business works. I recognize that I come at this from a somewhat bizarre and very privileged perspective, but I deeply want more diversity in business...and I don't mean "people of all genders and skin colors" I mean "people who don't all subscribe to the particular worldview you are presented with in business school" (though, for clarity, I think having people of all genders and skin colors and backgrounds would HELP WITH THAT A LOT). ANYWAY! Business is weird and fascinating, and you should watch Crash Course. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

Making your Nothings into Somethings

I hope some of this makes some kind of sense. I think the intentionality that John was discussing last video is wonderful, but I just don't know how possible it is for me. I just don't like making decisions!! I'm a habit guy, I have put the seat down after peeing every time since my mom bugged me about it when I was 13. I turn on my turn signal in the parking garage when there's only one direction to turn. I don't trust my conscious mind...so when I can use it, I feel like the best thing to use it for is to establish good habits, because if it's a choice, I'll find a reason to do nothing. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

The Largest Theft of All Time

cnh0Z51H87s | 29 Mar 2019

The Largest Theft of All Time

I thought this video was going to be a fun top ten list, then I realized that most of the theft in America is the rich robbing the poor. Literally! Not even in a roudabout way...literally not paying them for more than twenty billion dollars of work every year. This literally theft. No one goes to jail. Ever. It's cool. Don't worry...we have a minimum wage...ish. The folks who defend wage theft say that: 1. Minimum wages prevent certain work from getting done...like work done by undocumented immigrants and the very very poor. These people wouldn't have jobs at all otherwise! The laws are too strict! 2. Most wage theft is just poor management. The companies don't know it's happening! It's just the floor managers who are causing these problems! It's not a CEO's responsibility to know what their employees are up to! (that is exactly what their job is.) 3. It's not as big of a deal as big fancy non-profits think! It is, of course, extremely difficult to measure...but surveys of workers regularly show a huge variety of different kinds of wage theft. Worried you might be being stolen from? Here's a FAQ to learn more: http://www.wagetheft.org/faq And some more reading: https://www.epi.org/publication/employers-steal-billions-from-workers-paychecks-each-year-survey-data-show-millions-of-workers-are-paid-less-than-the-minimum-wage-at-significant-cost-to-taxpayers-and-state-economies/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_theft https://www.epi.org/press/employers-stole-at-least-2-billion-from-workers-in-2015-and-2016/ ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

How to Get a Colonoscopy

_n2oBvyB568 | 23 Mar 2019

How to Get a Colonoscopy

So, today I went in for a routine medical procedure, and I wanted to talk about it to: 1. Remove some stigma 2. Give some advice 3. Make it clear that preventative medicine is important! My procedure went great and Katherine filmed about 6 minutes of me being an absolute dork...I have provided only a few select bits for you. I still have moderate inflammation in my distal colon, which is normal for me, but still something we'd like to try and treat. At the moment (for other IBD people) I'm on Mesalamine (anti-inflammatory) and allopurinol (immunomodulator.) I was diagnosed in 2005 and, after first being diagnosed and getting it under control, have had either mild, moderate, or no symptoms on and off. But IBD certainly isn't the only reason to get a colonoscopy! In fact, everyone should get one on their 50th, 60th, and 70th birthdays (unless there's a risk factor.) My only advice...treat yourself well on your prep day, know that you're not going to be able to do much, and know that you can do the thing!!

Why We Stopped Making Explainers: EXPLAINED

yPuZmDIfFCo | 15 Mar 2019

Why We Stopped Making Explainers: EXPLAINED

There was a time when we thought we were going to move our explainers off of our main channel and build a business making just explainers. But it turns out they're just tremendously difficult and expensive to make, especially when you don't have the charisma of a known and trusted face to fall back on in the moments when you don't have full-screen graphics. That project, sadly, died in favor of us spending more time on Crash Course and SciShow. I think it's very important to understand what a powerful rhetorical tool an "explainer" can be when it is used to convince rather than explain, and how easy it is to make a bad explainer and have relatively few people notice. It's also really important to ask ourselves why we trust the voices we trust, how that trust was earned, and constantly examine whether that trust is worthwhile. There are many ways to get information right now, and we can and SHOULD be very choosy! ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

Does "The Press" Hate YouTube?

u6-ll8dfpKA | 08 Mar 2019

Does "The Press" Hate YouTube?

Ultimately, news is mostly news when it's bad. When it's more nuanced, it tends to be for smaller audiences that are aware of a topic. This is a thing. I remember when YouTube culture was first growing, there were a fair number of positive articles about YouTubers. It was so new that it's very existence was interesting. We're in a different time now, largely because of how influential and popular the platform has become. Ultimately, people who care about YouTube don't read a lot of legacy publications, which those publications automatically have: 1. Some amount of antagonism toward YouTube because they might be frustrated by their loss of market share to people who don't have the same level of rigor, accountability, or professional training they do. 2. An audience that has a very simple understanding of the platform, and so is not interested in nuanced takes. So if the articles are negative it's because: 1. Maybe antagonism, though I think that's the smallest part. 2. They're creating content that their audience will be interested in (which is what we're all doing.) 3. Negative news is actually the more interesting, uncommon, and important stuff and there are reams of research and discussion about this and it's nothing new. But it's also vital to remember that "The Press" is extremely broad. That many of these articles were actually vitally important. That one bad OpEd doesn't destroy the reputation of an entire publication. That a few bad articles doesn't destroy the reputation of the ENTIRE INSTITUTION OF THE PRESS WHICH WE WOULD BE COMPLETELY DEVASTATED WITHOUT. It's also important to note that, guess what, I am also "The Press" and I have no points of accountability outside myself before I push publish, and neither do most of the big, culturally influential YouTube channels. Giving over 100% of our media consumption to single-perspective, unaccountable, untrained YouTubers is...it's bad. We shouldn't do it. Even as much as I really really love many of them. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

I Get a Robocall While Making a Video About Robocalls

I Get a Robocall While Making a Video About Robocalls

We didn't build good security into the telecom system because we didn't anticipate that, someday, scammers would be able to call thousands of people per minute, because before computers, that idea was completely ludicrous. An important thing to remember is that anyone who calls you when your name is on the Do Not Call list is breaking the law. But there is no good way to find them as they can disappear as fast as they appear. We have had to change a lot of how telecommunications law works to start combatting this, and absolutely it could have happened faster if telecom companies and the government weren't resistant to change. But it's also a hard problem to solve. We've built this system, and it works really well all day long every day...we just made it work too well...so well that it really isn't that hard to set up a robocalling scam...which is why a thousand or so people have done it...thus making all our lives miserable. But as I say in the video, if you only need 1000 people out of 300,000,000 to ruin something for money...they're gonna do it. Here are some articles I read: This one's real long but gives a lot of good background https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/how-robo-call-moguls-outwitted-the-government-and-completely-wrecked-the-do-not-call-list/2018/01/09/52c769b6-df7a-11e7-bbd0-9dfb2e37492a_story.html Short and older article/NPR story, but still relevant. https://www.npr.org/2015/11/18/456355120/why-it-s-hard-to-put-an-end-to-unwanted-robocalls What Phone companies can do but aren't https://www.consumerreports.org/consumerist/phone-companies-can-filter-out-robocalls-they-just-arent-doing-it/ This one also has tips on how to stop them if you care enough https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-why-youre-getting-so-many-spam-phone-calls-2018-10-12 ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

I Don't Want The Same Things Anymore

I Don't Want The Same Things Anymore

Holy doggies...we had 1700 bags to ship and we sold all of them in two hours! There are a few other things on sale. The Nerdfighter backpack is $20, so is a crewneck sweatshirt I designed...and there are MYSTERY SOCKS for just $6!! You can find all of it here: https://store.dftba.com/collections/vlogbrothers The transition to DFTBA profit going to Partners in Health actually (because of how our accounting works) extends back through the entire last year. Profit that isn't going to PIH is either being held as an "operating reserve" (basically 'just in case" money) or distributed to small minority owners who helped us with investment when we needed it. This might be a tad confusing because DFTBA is a separate company from Complexly (our production company). So the money DFTBA.com makes is profit from providing services to creators (including Complexly.) Complexly (and all of our other creators) will keep making money as normal. So DFTBA's profit is going to PIH, while the money Vlogbrothers makes from selling stuff is still going to Complexly as it's an important part of how we keep the lights on! Business is fun!

Screwing Up: Two Stories From When I Worked at a TV Station

Screwing Up: Two Stories From When I Worked at a TV Station

I worked at a TV station when I was in college. It was a really fun and interesting job and I learned a lot of things that remain very useful to my life. I'm really grateful to the people I worked with at OTV, and I hope they're all doing well! This story, people will likely notice, has some things to do with a conversation society is having around cultural appropriation. I think this is a frame through which some people who might be resistant to the idea that cultural appropriation is disrespectful or harmful could better understand it. But I don't think it's the same thing...for a bunch of different reasons. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

Deepfake: A Brief History of Unreliable Images

In which John and Hank get Deepfake mustaches, which makes John think about the history of forged, shopped, cropped, and airbrushed images. Can humans learn not to trust their senses? Or are we doomed to be duped by images even when we know they're unreliable? The incredible deepfake mustache content in this video was made by Ryan Georgi, who wrote a post to explain the work. https://ryan.georgi.cc/2019/02/04/deepfakes-and-public-data/ Also big thanks as always to Rosianna: http://youtube.com/rosianna CORRECTION: Lenin did not order the photo of Lenin and Trotsky altered.

What is Burnout?

xKEzeJz8ys4 | 11 Jan 2019

What is Burnout?

If you take anything away from it, it should only be that burnout isn't one thing, and that you can learn more about what you're experiencing by asking yourself if it's a fuel problem or an opportunity problem. Fuels can be addressed by finding a new story to tell yourself. Opportunity is harder to address, it takes longer, and sometimes, because of the deep inequality in our societies, cannot be addressed. This is the article everyone is talking about: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/millennials-burnout-generation-debt-work And here's a good one from Slate in response: https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/01/burnout-millennials-capitalism-buzzfeed-essay.html And here's a video from my friend Rosianna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPztftCyKDU A lot of discussion around burnout is pretty specific to people who have opportunity, but have been sold the wrong kind of fuel for too long. Being grateful for and recognizing the opportunities we've been given is, I think, very important. I also think it's important to find good fuel and do good work and work hard. I don't love the idea that burnout is a problem of being over-worked. I think it's more a problem of being overly convinced that work is the most valuable (or even only valuable) thing we do in our lives. It's especially important in our twenties, and the American reliance on all-capitalism-all-the-time is, I think, a really big part of how people have used that situation to exploit workers and put them in situations that are unsustainable. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

The Psychology of Package Thieves

RyszHongpf0 | 21 Dec 2018

The Psychology of Package Thieves

It's no surprise that de-humanizing thieves is easy, they de-humanized us first. But when Mark Rober let us get inside of some package thieves houses and cars...I felt a little like they weren't what I expected...even if I didn't know exactly what I expected. That left me at a loss...so I decided to talk to a few people...some who had engaged in package theft and one psychologist, Dr. Robert Tyminski, who wrote "The Psychology of Theft and Loss." I've come away from that feeling like I understand this phenomenon a lot better, though I still feel like it's way more complicated than I really get. And as I say in the video, understanding this behavior does not excuse it, and this behavior still makes me really frustrated and mad. Mark Rober's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoxhDk-hwuo Dr. Tyminsky's book: https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Theft-Loss-Stolen-Fleeced/dp/0415830893 Andrew Huang's new album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN0nvEn4Mpg The full conversation between me and Dr. Tyminski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOIQefDSvtk And here's what was up with two of the situations being staged (From Mark Rober) "I put a feeler out for people willing to put a package on their porch and this person (who is a friend of a friend) volunteered to help. To compensate them for their time and willingness to risk putting a package on their porch I offered financial compensation for any successful recoveries of the package. It appears (and I've since confirmed) in these two cases, the 'thieves' were actually acquaintances of the person helping me." ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

Doing This Makes Me Happy, but Maybe it Doesn't' Seem that Way?

Doing This Makes Me Happy, but Maybe it Doesn't' Seem that Way?

Census is Here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5S9C52R Vlogbrothers has always brought me joy. The only time it stresses me out is when I feel like other work is interfering with my ability to do it well, or to feel connected to it. It is definitely true that we have more responsibilities now than we used to. It's also true that I /feel/ more responsibilities than I used to. Like, there is an obligation that comes along with having an audience, and also one that comes along with being a respected member of a community. It means that I'm going to be less forgiving of myself if I make mistakes, which means that I'm going to be more careful, which means I'm going to be less spontaneous and carefree. But I wouldn't do this if it wasn't bringing me joy. I just want to be really clear about that! ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed at http://www.theanthropocenereviewed.org Listen to Dear Hank and John at http://www.dearhankandjohn.org

HAIRMERGENCY!

HAIRMERGENCY!

In which John looks like an elderly porcupine and considers the way burnout seems to arrive all at once, just like hairmergencies. I do feel really overwhelmed and a bit burnt out at the moment, but I also feel tremendously supported and know that I can take breaks as and when needed. Also, I am aware of the fact that I feel this way going into the Project for Awesome every year, so I should not be surprised. And yet somehow I always am! Also, although I do have anxiety problems, I don't want y'all to worry that this is part of a larger thing. I am just stressed out because too much is happening, not because I am falling into the tightening gyre!

Should I Feel Guilty?

KLDScGDEoH4 | 01 Nov 2018

Should I Feel Guilty?

Thank you to too much candy for helping me finally make this video. It's obviously something I've been thinking about for a long time. As someone who has a LOT of advantages, it is very clear to me that I have them. But I also think that everyone watching this, just by virtue of having access to high speed internet, also has a lot of advantages that might not be as obvious. As I say in the video, if you spend time with people who have your same advantages, they don't seem like advantages. And then when someone comes along and tells you that your normal is actually inequality, that can feel like an attack...like Heath finding out that he's ripped up Snickers' wedding flowers. Heath, in that moment, felt attacked by Snickers....like the guilt was something Snickers was doing, not something Heath's own mind was doing to attempt to help him behave differently in the future. At least, that's the really drawn out metaphor I've decided to go with, I guess! ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Rigged Election

WldbbsgLK7w | 26 Oct 2018

The Rigged Election

President Trump exercises his power by having no concern for the truth. It's OK for him to lie because he sees lying as a way of flexing. He lies, the media fact checks, he laughs. It's not about reality, it's about winning. I've started to understand that I live in that world...where, for my president, the truth isn't interesting. A firehose of lies, and an army of perplexed fact checkers, signifying nothing. But when the lies turn to rot in the foundation of the system, when what sounds good to Trump one day is talking about how an election where he loses isn't a legitimate election, that's where it gets scary. It gets scary because, in one way, it's nothing new...of course President Trump lies about voter fraud, he lies about everything. And yet, on the other hand, it still shocks me, because the people who love him were supposed to love America...the constitution...tradition. The moment he started saying things like, "If we lose, it's rigged" I thought that would mean something to them. But it doesn't seem like it does. It seems like they love a strongman who looks powerful, even if that strongman is breaking the one fundamental institution that our government is based on by calling on his followers to not accept the outcome of an election that he doesn't win.

This is the scariest graph I've ever seen

Ix2XprA6A7I | 19 Oct 2018

This is the scariest graph I've ever seen

Graphs shouldn't be scary! They're just data! And even though I have a masters degree in environmental studies, this graph, once it was explained to me, changed how I felt about the impacts we were having on the planet completely. Of course, being scared by this graph depends on you caring about human life beyond your own lifespan which, like, seems like a fairly easy thing to me, but maybe not to a lot of other people. Or maybe we're all just assuming that in the 500+ years it would take for the warming to result in a full melt, we'll be able to fix these problems some other way. Fingers crossed...I guess.

Here's the idea: Every six weeks for a year, a group of people read a book together, and discuss it on a discord channel. You can choose either a physical subscription--in which you get the book, a letter from me, bookplates made by artists we love, and other cool surprises--or a digital subscription--in which you pick up your own copy of the book and get all the other resources emailed to you. 100% of profits will go to Partners in Health. We don't yet know if there will be enough interest in this idea to make it work, so we aren't launching yet. But if you want to reserve your spot for if/when we do launch, you can sign up now at https://store.dftba.com/collections/lifes-library-book-club by clicking on the subscription you want and entering your email address at the bottom of the page.

Our Rivalry

We've been brothers for more than 39 years, and not every moment has been all hugs and rainbows. But somehow we have avoided the thing that every reporter now feels obligated to ask me about, whether I am going to feel compelled to compare my success with yours.

The Eisenhower Matrix

I'll be in comments, but one thing I want to note here is that productivity need not be about work, or maximizing output or whatever. There are lots of ways to be productive. To me, productivity is mostly a matter of recognizing that time is what we have. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Top 10 John Green GIFs

The Top 10 John Green GIFs

Happy Birthday John! It was interesting going through this because I couldn't help but think about how what you put out does not necessarily equal what gets brought in. John is always such a kind and thoughtful and careful person, but so many of the GIFs in this list were him being angry or upset or frustrated...of course GIFs are in many ways units of emotion, and so of course emotion is going to be conveyed in them, but I think it says something that the most common emotions were forms of anger. Also, someone please explain the book sniffing to me!!

My Worst Job Search Fail

dC_Z39gpiNA | 17 Aug 2018

My Worst Job Search Fail

Looking for a job is the absolute worst. The people giving the jobs have to do everything they can to be efficient, while the people who want the jobs (and aren't being paid to apply for them) need to do so much work to try and convince the other person that they're worth hiring. It's a huge power imbalance, but there's no other way for it to work (as far as I can tell, anyway.) Rejection is super awful and every time I've applied for a job and not gotten an interview I felt terrible. Every time I got an interview and didn't get the job, I felt even worse. But when you find the right position, it can be really wonderful. Let's be honest about the actual situation, which is that not getting a job has no bearing on your worth as a person, and it's completely possible, likely even, that the company ended up hiring the wrong person. But they have limited resources and had to make a call. They would've been lucky to have you!! AND SO WOULD THAT GUY AT THAT NON PROFIT WHO MADE FUN OF MY APPLICATION!

My Giant Robot Suit

ft4x8vM0748 | 10 Aug 2018

My Giant Robot Suit

I don't think having a following on the internet means you have to never engage or defend yourself. But I think that you have to behave differently than you would if you didn't have a following. And I know that thinking about this from the perspective of the person in the robot suit is like, "Oh, boo hoo, you're rich and famous I'm so sorry someone was mean to you once." But now that the internet exists, occasionally the once infathomable distance between a few people chatting in their social space and a super mainstream celebrity, occasionally collapses to literally no distance at all. Celebrities don't feel like anything more than people...they look in the mirror and see their soft, squishy bodies. So when they walk in on a group of people saying terrible things, it's understandable that they would react. But those people are seeing the robot suit, not the person. But I think we should realize that we're all wearing robot suits these days, and that we're all a lot more powerful than we think we are. It's very easy to go too hard these days, whether you've been building your suit for a decade or whether you're just a simple quiet person with a Twitter account. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

How Do Adults Make Friends?

fJIWMTWojy8 | 03 Aug 2018

How Do Adults Make Friends?

Esther Earl died in 2010, and when her family asked her how she would like to be remembered on her birthday, she gave the most good answer possible and said she wanted us to celebrate love among family and friends. Which is why, Every August 3rd, people take a moment to say "I love you" to the people they care about. None of these problems are new, but it just gets harder to believe that strangers are worth investing time in as you get older. That's not a true belief, but it is a belief. And it's one of the reasons why community organizations (like churches, clubs, or volunteer orgs) provide so much value. They give us ways to imagine strangers as having more value, and provide shortcuts to finding people we'll be more likely to mesh with. School and work can also provide those services. But when we're exposed to /so many/ people that seem so valuable and cool through social media (either because they really are living exceptional lives or because they are only showing the exceptional parts) we lose sight that what makes people big deals isn't their lifestyle or how exceptional their job is...it's just that they are people. If we could remember that, I think it would be a lot easier to make and maintain friendships as adults. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Why Environmentalists Hate Captain Planet

z1fJChrJniU | 27 Jul 2018

Why Environmentalists Hate Captain Planet

All of this is much easier to see in retrospect, which I think is telling. It's hard to see bias in the moment, and it's easy to feel justified in simplifying the stories of your adversaries when you're in the middle of what you see as a war. But that's why it's good to look back at things like this. I think it's fine to create content for any age that accurately portrays the difficulties we face as a species...that's a completely apolitical act. But while the creators of Captain Planet will tell you that each of the villains represents the extremes, not the norms, none of those things are (at least in the beginning) modeled in nuanced ways. I am particularly troubled by the portrayal of the laborers as sub-human. It's one thing for billionaire Looten Plunder to be terrible (and yes, his pony tail is appropriately grotesque) but modeling the people who are laboring as garbage collectors or machine operators as monsters, at this point, downright pisses me off. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Why Do So Few Countries Have Nukes?

IGgpoI_0oPs | 13 Jul 2018

Why Do So Few Countries Have Nukes?

There are a lot of perspectives on this one, and in many ways we are lucky that it is so hard to separate one isotope of uranium from another because, if it were easier, we probably would have destroyed ourselves by now. One thing I didn't hit on in this video is that there are some experts that argue that the world has experienced greater peace and prosperity because of nuclear weapons and that they have done more good than harm. That's a commonly held viewpoint...that the threat of nuclear weapons has prevented major powers from going to war with each other. This has maybe increased the rate of proxy wars, which has been bad for the Middle East, some of Africa, and a particular Asian Peninsula, but it's better, they say, than World War III. What I want to remember, however, is that this isn't just something that was inevitable...so thank you to everyone who worked to create this more stable world. I hope we can maintain it.

Let's Talk About Stress!

FzCp5JFaqHI | 01 Dec 2017

Let's Talk About Stress!

In which Hank discusses loanword adaptation for two minutes in order to distract himself from the crushing reality of all of what he must do. One thing that I did not say in this video...that's just for you dear dedicated dooblydoo reader...is that "stressing out" as we sometimes call it (focusing on the worry rather than the work) is a kind of flight. It is the easiest, most monkey-brain thing to do. There is nowhere to run, and we don't want the unpleasantness of engaging with the fight, so we flee into fear and it eats us because we literally have no defense against it. If you'd like to learn more about stress and our physiological responses to it, here's a SciShow on how presistent stress harms our bodies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViWCk74Bu8k And here's a Crash Course I did on emotion, stress, and health: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KbSRXP0wik Also linked in this video is the video I did on hankschannel on the processes I've used to deal with things I can't deal with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr8wIiypS_g ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Bizarro History of Black Friday: (AND 2017 CENSUS!)

The Bizarro History of Black Friday: (AND 2017 CENSUS!)

CENSUS! - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NF2017YT DFTBA.com: http://www.dftba.com Calendar: https://store.dftba.com/collections/project-for-awesome Turtles Package: https://store.dftba.com/products/turtles-all-the-way-down-book-lapel-pin-sticker-bundle SciShow Finds: http://www.scishowfinds.com VidCon: http://www.vidcon.com So, the word "Bizarro" has two different meanings. It can just be a fun way of saying the word "bizarre" but it can also mean an alternate, more peculiar reality. That meaning comes from the "Bizarro World" comics of the 1960s, where the world is a cube and Superman is bad...that kind of thing. So this is a Bizarro History of Black Friday...a history of a different Earth. I hope you like it. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

It appears that I have something called labyrinthitis. I'm getting better, but recovery is slow, so I'll try to keep making videos, but I won't be around as much as usual.

The Weirdest Living Animals - (With Dr. Lawrence Turtleman)

Last Day of Pizzamas: http://www.dftba.com/pizzamas Hello, My name is Dr. Lawrence Turtleman and in this video, I discuss animals (and one plant) that have found themselves alone on taxonomic islands. These organisms common ancestors with currently living organisms stretch back tens or even hundreds of millions of years. The tuatara split off from other animals over 150 million years ago! Sometimes these organisms are referred to as "living fossils" because they often look very similar to fossil forms of them that we find, but this is actually somewhat innacurate for a few different reasons (see this episode of Eons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPvZj2KcjAY) Thank You For Watching! - Dr. Lawrence Turtleman ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Secret to my Productivity

1LAhHDEtTD0 | 27 Oct 2017

The Secret to my Productivity

IMPORTANT NOTE I'm not saying that this is the best or only way. I have lots of friends who go to 100% every time and they are extremely prolific and effective creators. And they make things that are better than the things I make. I also am not trying to say that I don't think the stuff I make is good, I think "good" is a combination of time, skill, talent, and ability to choose and understand your own objectives. I just shave on time spent and do my best to optimize the other stuff. This is what I do, not what I suggest other people do. In general, when people try to sell you on some life-vision for being an ULTLA EFFECTIVE PERSON, what they're really trying to do is make you feel like you haven't accomplished enough or aren't awesome enough, and thus need them to become the thing you should be but which you're being held back from by some lack of knowledge. I hate that shit so much, and I really hope I'm not doing it here. Every person will find different ways of doing things that help the world and other people, which is the important thing. But...don't let perfection hold you back from making things or doing things. Revel in your imperfection, because perfect doesn't exist.

What's This Video About?

EWeJ7OM3mo4 | 29 Sep 2017

What's This Video About?

This video is two different videos, sorry about that! Some great Star Trek TNG Episodes If you watch Star Trek TNG from the beginning, which I heartily suggest you do, you will notice that it...kinda sucks. The first and second season have very few episodes that knock it out of the park. The good news is that Star Trek happened before TV dramas started being serialized, so with the exception of (very important and rewarding) character development and universe backstory, you can pretty much watch any episode of Star Trek TNG you want to in any order. This is NOT the case for later series..DS9 in particular was part of the push for serialized "you must watch every episode or you will fall behind" style TV. So, without further ado, here are some of the most "What's it About" episodes of TNG, that also have great story and (most importantly) great Picard monologues. Season 4 Episode 21 - The Drumhead. Especially important given current political conversations. Season 2 Episode 9 - Measure of a Man. I am a big fan of episodes that focus on Data so...this one. Season 5 Episode 25 - The Inner Light. I think about this episode all the dang time. Season 4, Episode 14 - Clues. Just a really inventive and exciting tale of successful diplomacy, which isn't easy. I mean, I could keep doing this all day...but that's a good start.

Why Cities?

BwYPddy_5bk | 19 Sep 2017

Why Cities?

In which John discusses the agricultural revolution, the development of permanent settlements, and whether cities were good news. SOURCES BELOW. Hank is publishing a novel next year! https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/19/books/youtube-star-hank-green-first-novel.html But before then, we are going on tour to celebrate my new novel, Turtles All the Way Down: http://www.turtlesallthewaydownbook.com/#tour SOURCES: Hunter-gatherers have less famine than agriculturalists: http://rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/1/20130853 This gets into some of the archeology and analysis of human remains that indicates that hunter-gatherers lived on average longer and healthier lives than agriculturalists. The Case against Civilization inspired this video and includes the statistics about how much hunter-gatherers work in food acquisition and domestic labor: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/09/18/the-case-against-civilization This article also explores some of the complexities of agriculture's development: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/07/15/485722228/where-did-agriculture-begin-oh-boy-its-complicated The book discussed in "The Case against Civilization" is called AGAINST THE GRAIN, and while I disagree with a lot that's in it, I also think it's an interesting read and outlines both its case for why cities developed and other people's cases. I also leaned on the book SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari for some of the theories about why cities developed. Our World in Data is an amazing resource for understanding long-term trends in human history. That's where I got the graph about the dramatic reduction in absolute poverty the world is experiencing: https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty/ And also the graph about the declining number of hours worked: https://ourworldindata.org/working-hours/ And lastly, the median U.S. household income really is higher (even after adjusting for inflation) than it ever has been before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Preorder John's new book, Turtles All the Way Down, out October 10th 2017!

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Global Warming

fseG2IwpBqM | 01 Sep 2017

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Global Warming

Throughout this video I say "probability curve" when a statistician would say "probability distribution." I just want to say that I'm aware of this, and that it's a choice I intentionally made because I felt like it made it easier to understand. While I would very much like to get deep into probability functions, what they mean, and how they work, I don't know if that's necessary to understand the world with curves. And this isn't just about climate and weather, pretty much everything is better understood if it's understood in terms of probability functions. And I generally like to see the world not for the collapsed reality dot, but for the function underneath. It's why winning at gambling always feels empty to me, I know that the underlying function has my losing even if happened to get lucky. So, in a way, gambling is always losing, even if you win. I know I'm an armchair statistician, and that lots of people will be annoyed by the language in this video, but I hope you can forgive me!

What I've Been Thinking About

EFkIG5do34I | 18 Aug 2017

What I've Been Thinking About

Race is uncomfortable for me to talk about, and I often have the impulse to, like, stay in my lane, to just amplify voices that are more credible than mine as a white man who knows nothing about racism except for the times when I discover my own bias. But I have been encouraged by Black friends and Black Nerdfighters to talk more about this stuff because, like, I'm an American too. Watching the situation in Charlottesville unfold was a horror, and it's been terribly present in my mind ever since. America has a shameful history, but we also have a history of progress, and that continues now as we fight against a new wave of hate that has found new life. I also want to be clear that having racist thoughts does not make you a Nazi. We all have bias, we all have fear, and sometimes we even have hate. It's what we do with those things that matters. Do we give in to irrational bias...or do we work hard to keep the hate from creeping in. Here are some other great and important things I've read this week: Rhett McLaughlin - Thoughts on Confederate Statues from a Southern White Male: https://medium.com/@rhettmc/thoughts-on-confederate-statues-from-a-southern-white-male-b81a2693113d What white parents can do for black parents right now - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2017/08/17/what-white-parents-can-do-for-black-parents-right-now/ This thing about "white pride" https://twitter.com/AdrianXpression/status/897978833151852544 White Americans Have to Make a Choice http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/08/white_americans_can_end_the_fight_over_confederate_monuments.html Secret Project - email already went out, you can read it here: http://mailchi.mp/b89eabef63d4/build-a-turtle-cake-happy-birthday-john ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Preorder John's new book, Turtles All the Way Down, out October 10th 2017!

Life is not a Job Training Program

Life is not a Job Training Program

There were so many very good questions I didn't answer in this video, both specific and broad. What many of them come down to is, "Is college worth the money" or "I feel like I'm being eaten alive by my student loans and I don't know if it was worth it." The short answers is that, on average, college is very worth it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_N7MAr98CI The long answer is that, as college gets more expensive, it becomes /less likely/ to be worth it every year. Which is why college needs to stop getting more expensive. And the only way that happens is if everyone gets a lot more price selective when picking schools.

Why Bullets are Good for the Environment

Check out this SUPER DOPE Wikipedia page for some really slick legislation from the 30's! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittman%E2%80%93Robertson_Federal_Aid_in_Wildlife_Restoration_Act About halfway through making this video I was like, "Is this, like, waaaay too nerdy and wonky for the general public?

Why You Haven't Started a Business

Q_NrLQnmCBw | 28 Jul 2017

Why You Haven't Started a Business

Watching this video, I can see someone getting the impression that I think you /should/ start a business. That's not true, I think you should be able to if you want to, but there are lots of good reasons to not want to, and very much support people who are more interested in working for other people, especially if you work for me! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! But small business is extremely important, it helps even out inequality, ties communities together, and employs over half of working Americans. Small businesses hire faster than large ones, and employ more people per dollar they make. Alas, there are lots of structural efficiencies to being big, and lots of ways big companies build their "moats." And just by virtue of the way capitalism works, it is sometimes easier to go from 400 to 800 employees than from 1 to 2. Here's a selection of the articles I read and resources I used while making this video: The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor is a great primary source for this stuff http://www.gemconsortium.org/ What is driving the dramatic slowdown in IPOs https://www.ft.com/content/1c57c7de-6e20-11e7-bfeb-33fe0c5b7eaa The Myth of the Millennial Entrepreneur https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/07/the-myth-of-the-millennial-entrepreneur/490058/ Millennials are obsessed with side hustles because they’re all we’ve got https://qz.com/711773/millennials-are-obsessed-with-side-hustles-because-theyre-all-weve-got/ American Entrepreneurship Is Actually Vanishing.

On Condom Failure

Z4dO_K_DufQ | 21 Jul 2017

On Condom Failure

I have always thought that sex ed and statistics should be the same course. There's no better way to show how vital stats is to your every day life than to look at statistics. Probabilities are so easy to misunderstand, and there are a lot that go into understanding the outcomes of sexual activity. There's a ton I didn't get into here...like that a common trap is that, in a pinch, one might have unprotected sex with no negative outcome, and that makes it /feel/ much safer for future times. Which, I think, is a common trap people fall into. There's also the fact that a 2% chance sounds pretty tiny, but it really does mean that, on average, if you have 50 couples using condoms perfectly, one of them is going to get pregnant in any given year. That's gonna seem weird and surprising and improbable and unfair to that couple, but statistically, it's exactly what we expected. Probabilities eventually collapse into reality, and then that couple no longer has a 2% chance of probability, they have a 100% chance, because they're pregnant, and everyone else has a 0% chance. Being one of the two percent isn't that weird. Here's the video I made on probability in 2010 that I'm actually pretty proud of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpvE0Co66nU Most of the information used in this video came from the AMAZING AND WONDERFUL Guttmacher institute: https://www.guttmacher.org/ Contraceptive Use in the US: https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/contraceptive-use-united-states Unintended Pregnancy Rates: https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/unintended-pregnancy-united-states IUDs Cause Decrease in Unintended Pregnancies: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/2/11148108/unplanned-pregnancy-larc-iud ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com Preorder John's new book, Turtles All the Way Down, out October 10th 2017!

So we just hit 3,000,000 subscribers, and we just uploaded our 1,500th video. That's pretty nuts. John and I have made 1500 videos for this channel?! That seems like a kinda impossible number. But when I go look, they're all there, and I'm actually pretty proud of most of them. Thank you to all of the people who have watched our stuff or subscribed over the years, it's a tremendous honor. It's amazing to spend some time thinking about how much YouTube has changed over the years.

My Earthquake Story - (And Thoughts About Numbers)

My Earthquake Story - (And Thoughts About Numbers)

In this video, I think I intentionally avoided talking about the numbers that have become more and more common in our lives...our followers, our likes, our subscribers, our views. Those are such seductive surrogates for meaning. I know I say this as someone who has a lot of all of those things, but the numbers by themselves are nothing. If this community wasn't a bunch of thoughtful, supportive, kind people, I would leave the internet tomorrow and never come back. John and I stopped wanting to grow vlogbrothers a long time ago, we love this place for what it is, and I'm sorry if and when the other things I do end up spilling over too much on this channel, which I really do want to always be just about two brothers making stuff together. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Eyes Made of Crystal? - Trilobites are Bizarre

VZLsbIAxmmA | 30 Jun 2017

Eyes Made of Crystal? - Trilobites are Bizarre

Go see if Eons is for you: http://www.youtube.com/eons Other cool things about Trilobites People have been collecting them for at least tens of thousands of years, as they've been found in Native American burial mounds. One tribe has a name for them that means "Little water bug in a stone house." There's a genus of trilobite found first in China named "Han" after the Chinese dynasty. There's one species in that genus that only has one single current fossil found, scientists named it "Han Solo." That sounds like a dad joke, and it probably is, but it's also true. The extinction even that wiped out the last trilos (which we talk about on Eons) wiped out 90% of the species on Earth.

When Will You Die?

_AgIOKyYqls | 16 Jun 2017

When Will You Die?

Patreon Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOCTt-O9TR8 DHJ Animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPxXZu_N0g4 VidCon: http://www.vidcon.com So, to be clear, I've done a thing here that you shouldn't do, which is apply population statistics to individuals. But i did it for a good reason...uh...fun? Of course there are many things that are likely to affect your age of death as much as or more than your current age (income, location, race, medical history, etc.) But also you gotta understand (and statisticians will hate this video for this reason and probably others) that the an average of life expectancy doesn't tell you much at all about when an individual will die. For example, an change in child mortality changes life expectancy far more than a change in elderly mortality because the addition or removal of small numbers to an average will affect it dramatically. This is why you'll often hear that the life expectancy in some period of time was 35 years old. That makes it sound like people were all dying around 35, but in fact ages were distributed all over, but there were far more deaths of children and babies, which pulled the average way down. 80 year olds in the middle ages weren't, like, some kind of mythical creature. "Life expectancy" just isn't a super useful statistic for telling you what length of life to expect. Also, it's not even /that/ good at telling you things about public health. People are supposed to die, so a better measure (which Australia actually uses) is "Years of Potential Life Lost" or YPLL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Years_of_potential_life_lost The US has a surprisingly bad YPLL because of suicides, drug overdoses, homicide, and car accidents. That allows you to study whether diseases kill lots of people who are at the end of their lives or people who might otherwise live a quite a long time. Like, dementia kills mostly very old people while suicide and accidents kill lots of young people. We shouldn't give those deaths the same weight. And then lastly, if you want to go all the way down this rabbit hole, you should google "Global Burden of Disease" which endeavors to measure beyond years of life lost and into the quality of those years. Like, disease can cause life-long chronic pain or disability, and those things should be considered as well as death. OK, I am surprised by how much I just typed about this! ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Some Unhealthy Productivity Tips (and some Healthy ones)

Some Unhealthy Productivity Tips (and some Healthy ones)

We all want to get stuff done, we want to have a positive effect on the world. But there's definitely a part of me that thinks making things happen is more important than keeping myself healthy and happy. And I actually think that's OK, to a point. I don't think my happiness should be my primary goal, but I also think it should be on the list. Thanks for being with me as I've learned so many things about myself, and I'm really glad I can continue being honest about my life and my brain.

The Paris Accord: What is it? And What Does it All Mean?

Sr2J_1J9w3A | 02 Jun 2017

The Paris Accord: What is it? And What Does it All Mean?

At the heart of the desire to get America out of the Paris Agreement seems to be three things: 1. Nostalgia. The focus on coal, an energy source that is becoming uneconomical even in developing countries, and that employs very few people in America can't have anything to do with anything except an imagined fondness for a world that probably never existed. These people are right that fossil fuels have been great for Americans and also for the world. I think the people who worked and fought to use fossil fuels to make people's lives better did good things. I also think we need new paths and to retire old ones. 2. A push to have countries care only about their own interests. Climate change is the best example that this doesn't work. And that's very scary for people who are skeptical of globalism. It may seem to them awfully convenient that the people who want a more global society happened to find this disaster that can only be solved by a more global society. Of course there are some that are purely economically motivated, but while those people are powerful, there aren't many of them. But these are the things that really resonate with large numbers of people. And when you're trying to defend your worldview, you'll make some magnificent mental leaps to do it...like that every scientist ever is lying about how CO2 absorption works. There are a couple Twitter threads that I really enjoyed on these topics. here they are.

Some Rough Advice for the "Real World"

OCO8eoDWqHQ | 26 May 2017

Some Rough Advice for the "Real World"

I'm just a little sick of people feeling like they've failed or like they don't matter because they aren't hitting every single target society puts in front of them. No one does that. And a lot of those goals are dumb anyway. I know that society thrives on driven people, and I hope you are driven to achieve, and that a lot of that drive comes from not necessarily healthy desires. But I think we can make the world a better place without putting all of this fucked up pressure on ourselves. Also, this video is basically the same as this one Evelyn made, but Evelyn's is way more funny and articulate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=575LByUKT00 ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

And, frankly, I'm not super good at decisions. Katherine and I can't decide where to go for dinner most nights, let alone whether we want to un-alterably change our lives forever. But now that I've been a parent for BASICALLY NO TIME AT ALL but while I'm still a little bit capable of remembering what my life was like before I was a dad...I just wanted to share some thoughts. -- Hank ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

I'm really excited about trying this out. I love documentary film so much, it's right in our wheelhouse. In it's best form, it is entirely about finding ways to understand the world more complexly. And this is such a great movie to start with. In a difficult and complicated moment in our history, we have to take time to be calm and appreciate our world for a moment.

Your Neighborhood, Your Life Expectancy

SOtoaloIoII | 09 May 2017

Your Neighborhood, Your Life Expectancy

In which John discusses the astonishing degree to which an American's zip code affects their life expectancy, and why life expectancy varies so much within the United States. Also discussed: Regional variation in life expectancy in Canada and other rich nations, how much smoking reduces your life expectancy, the relationship between exercise and longevity, and more. SOURCES/INFO: Inequalities in Life Expectancy among U.S. Counties, the study that was just published showing that life expectancy varies by 20 years within the U.S. depending on your location. (It's fascinating! Really!) http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2626194 An NPR summary: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2017/05/08/npr-life-expectancy-can-vary-by-20-years-depending-on-where-you-live Life expectancy in my hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana varies by more than 14 years depending on your ZIP code: http://www.savi.org/savi/documents/Worlds_Apart_Gaps_in_Life_Expectancy.pdf The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's cool app that tells you, based on your ZIP code, your life expectancy: http://www.rwjf.org/en/library/interactives/whereyouliveaffectshowlongyoulive.html Life expectancy for smokers is 10 years shorter than for nonsmokers: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/health_effects/tobacco_related_mortality/ Physical activity can expand average U.S. lifespans by 4.5 years: https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/press-releases/2012/PhysicalActivityLifeExpectancy Life expectancy in Canada varies by income quintile, but by less than it does in the U.S. http://www.healthycanadians.gc.ca/publications/department-ministere/state-public-health-status-2016-etat-sante-publique-statut/page-4-eng.php This study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK62591/ explores life expectancy variation within countries over time, finding that in most rich nations (Canada, Germany, Australia, etc.) life expectancy variation has declined since 1980, while it has steadily increased in the U.S. This is also where you can see that life expectancy among people with the highest incomes in the U.S. is (very slightly) higher than life expectancy among high income Canadians. Lastly, LET'S TALK ABOUT LIFE EXPECTANCY. Dr. Aaron Carroll of Healthcare Triage explains it here better than I can: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/how-flawed-is-life-expectancy/ But basically, there are a number of factors that go into life expectancy that can cause variations--especially when it comes to miscarriages/newborn deaths--but most of those variations are between countries, not within them. (i.e., it is not the reason for the huge geographic discrepancy in the U.S.) In the field of healthcare outcome analysis, there are other complains about life expectancy--it can be affected by things that have little to do with healthcare (like violence and accident rates)--but that's not of concern here. In summary, the longevity disparity between rich and poor in the U.S. is real, and it is very high by international standards. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Sick and Tired

HP9EVVz5BHE | 05 May 2017

Sick and Tired

It's real easy, it's not about winning an argument, or getting upset or angry, it's about letting your voice be heard. http://5calls.org I hope I was fairly coherent in this video. I'm just getting over a cold and I still feel crappy and like my mind is working at about 50% normal speed. I ended up editing this video non-linearly...meaning I didn't originally say all of these things in this order. So it's possible I messed up some of my original points...I'm sick and tired OK! But hopefully the point comes across...it's bullcrap to believe that money can take on the role that actual human contact and human appreciation. More and more, we are moving labor behind the scenes, where no one can see it and where it is very efficient and unobserved. Like, I used to talk to at least one person if I had to buy a USB cable, now I click buttons on Amazon and people who I will never see (or even think about) work to get my USB cable to me as invisibly as possible. This might (/might/) be economically a good idea, but it is not good for human satisfaction and happiness, and that worries me. A lot, actually. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Can You Trust Mainstream Media?

JvBRe5IuRBU | 28 Apr 2017

Can You Trust Mainstream Media?

When people ask me how they can trust anything anymore it just makes me so sad. Yes, publications have a perspective, acting without bias in our world is impossible. And I get frustrated when i see papers not trying to present themselves without bias the way they used to. But the idea that the "Mainstream Media" is the more corrupt of the institutions spreading information these days is nuts. I have watched papers come after YouTube for what I see as a mostly manufactured story. But these larger institutions have far more protections against reporting false stories, and a far greater responsibility to the truth than today's "non-mainstream" options. These other options tend to be driven entirely by ideology or profit with basically no responsibility to the truth. But they've succeeded handily in breaking down the credibility of the press, which is in turn breaking down the credibility of truth in general. So, if I didn't answer it for you in the video, let me answer the question in the title now. If you are looking at news, actual news and not an op-ed, you can trust the information reported in mainstream media FAR MORE than almost anything else. It may have a perspective, but the information itself will be trustworthy. And I am happy to take a stand for an institution that I honestly think we would be screwed without (even if a couple bits of it have taken unnecessary swipes at YouTube in the past few weeks). ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

The Adpocalypse: What it Means

Z7M7yyRDHGc | 21 Apr 2017

The Adpocalypse: What it Means

Am I concerned? Absolutely. Watching revenue tank in early April was terrifying, but it also got us thinking about lots of other ways to support this content which I am excited about. YouTube has created a smoother (still rocky) path for independent creators to start making revenue, but the automatically sold advertisements have always been a the kind of prices that only very large channels can make significant revenue (we are lucky enough to run some of those.) We need more systems and better systems to help independent creators make good stuff on the internet, and spending actual money (rather than spending time and attention watching ads) is vital to that. So, thank you to everyone who has ever bought merchandise or supported one of our projects on Patreon. Of course, we know that not all people can afford to do that, but the fact that some can make it so we can make these things for everyone.

Squeezing Strangers' Bikes in Amsterdam!

Thanks to Théo for this: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheLetterFifteen/ Also, thanks to everyone who submitted videos! It was fascinating to see what people were more likely to keep or discard vs. what I would have kept. More on how I chose this particular video below, but first: SOME RUNNERS UP! Most Trippy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=155&v=k8hLgFh1X_Y Squishiest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEP9p6T7tbg Not Starring Hank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXqoQL5CR4U Most Wonderful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQivRKMhPi4 Best Analog Graphics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUp-LvAojxA Best Pigeon Dialogue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvFhJ9HmWcc Closest to Exactly What I Would Have Done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=96&v=4XYLUPADtEI Casey Neistatiest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl5ngsXpG5Y --- So, in the voting, there were several videos that got more votes than this. But I picked this video for two reasons: 1. It was the one that still felt like something I might have made (even though it was better than what I would have done.) I felt like it captured the spirit of the video I intended to make. 2. Of anyone, I think this video had the highest votes to views ratio, at over 50%. So half of the people who saw the video voted for it, which is pretty dang impressive. 3. I really liked it a whole lot! There were, of course, lots of other moments in lots of other videos that were fantastic and hilarious, but I felt like this one had the highest concentration, as well as a really good story structure with multiple little arcs that all worked really well. ---- Music: "Perfect Strangers" by Hank Green.

Why I Won't Run for Office

In which John discusses why he won't be running for political office, his friend Daniel Biss, the unending horror of meetings, and how dependent democracies are on politicians like Daniel. And yes, Brotherhood 2.0 resident mathematician Daniel Biss is indeed running for governor in Illinois: https://www.danielbiss.com/ SELF CARE BUNNY: https://store.dftba.com/products/take-a-minute-to-breathe-poster So, about the scavenger hunt: Each Tuesday, there is a clue that leads to a riddle (or usually a series of riddles), which when solved reveal a password at https://itsatuatara.freeforums.net/ This week's riddle (the clue is self care bunny--well, rearranged) will unlock the Week 9 board.

No Cut Confessional: Priorities

R5imY43VCJo | 31 Mar 2017

No Cut Confessional: Priorities

In which Hank talks about how he's prioritized his life for the last year, and why it stopped working. When I say it stopped working, I mostly mean that I am behind on a lot of stuff. I'm not behind on the important stuff, and I have a lot of help making sure that the video trains keep on the internet rails, but looking at my email task list has become a source of significant dread for me, which is new, and I don't like it!

Why Can't America Have a Grown-Up Healthcare Conversation?

09RvU9_m30Q | 28 Mar 2017

Why Can't America Have a Grown-Up Healthcare Conversation?

In which John discusses the tradeoffs involved in health care reform, and why the 70% of Americans who are happy with their personal health care make it difficult to achieve more than incremental changes in the very expensive, very inefficient health care system in the United States. SOURCES: First off, subscribe to Healthcare Triage, where this stuff is discussed with far more detail and nuance: https://www.youtube.com/user/thehealthcaretriage Only 32% of Americans think our healthcare system is good or excellent, but 69% are happy with their personal health care: http://www.gallup.com/poll/165998/americans-views-healthcare-quality-cost-coverage.aspx Over at the incidental economist, Aaron Carroll and Austin Frakt have written a LOT about the quality of U.S. healthcare outcomes compared to other countries. Intros here: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/the-state-of-us-health-aint-so-good/ and here: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/how-do-we-rate-the-quality-of-the-us-health-care-system-introduction/ The Kaiser Foundation has up-to-date stats on where people get their health insurance--the ACA exchanges get coverage to about 6% of people, 49% of people get coverage through their employers (or their family's employer), 20% through Medicaid, 14% through Medicare, and 9% are uninfured: http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/total-population/?currentTimeframe=0&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D Healthcare costs in the U.S. are very, very high compared to every other wealthy country, and have been for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_the_United_States#Overall_costs A Medicare-for-All program would lead to lower overall healthcare costs in the U.S., but also a lot of job loss (possibly as many as two million): http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/25/news/economy/sanders-health-care-plan/ Even modest reductions in health insurance subsidies--like those proposed in the GOP repeal and replace of the Affordable Care Act--would lead to tens of millions of people losing insurance coverage: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52371 Other topics discussed include the Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the relative modesty of Obamacare as a health care reform, and the benefits and tradeoffs of Bernie Sanders' proposed single payer healthcare system, Medicare for All. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

I Disagree with Me (Thoughts from Lake Powell)

98NZlpscMtk | 24 Mar 2017

I Disagree with Me (Thoughts from Lake Powell)

In which Hank kayaks around a lake that was bought with the destruction of fragile and irreplaceable ecosystems and also men's lives. Also, like, a lot of money. And he likes it. Lake Powell is the reservoir created by Glen Canyon Dam. A reservoir is a lake formed by a dam and right there in the name you can see it's main purpose...to reserve. It was part of the Colorado River Storage Project, the goal of which was to store water from the flood times to be used during the dry times. And it's worked, it has allowed a lot of people to live and far in arid parts of the South West US. It's also a very pretty and very cool lake that a lot of people enjoy recreationally. But the fights against dams on the Colorado river were a huge part of the early environmental movement in the 1960s, and the reaction against technology that that movement created set up a dichotomy that I don't love. I am a big fan of the environment, but I often think that a bias toward "naturalness" (whatever that means) can cause a lot of pretty big problems, like a fear of vaccines or genetically modified foods. There are lessons to learn from these projects, of course. Glen Canyon Dam's construction left it vulnerable to floods, which almost caused a massive disaster in the 1980s. And so there is much to be said for caution. Basically, it's complicated...and I like having a chance to look at a complicated issue and admit that I'm a little bit on both sides. Here's a documentary about people who want to remove the dam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eCytLfHaPw&t=3759s ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

My Information Diet

QGR3jKLxoiY | 21 Mar 2017

My Information Diet

In which John discusses the dumbing of his phone and his new information diet, all designed to protect him from the self he becomes when twittering. I'm not sure if the social media anxiety/malaise I feel is something others will be able to relate to, or if it's specific to my life, but I am trying to sort through whether the architecture of the social internet makes it an inherently unfun/unhealthy place for me to hang out, or whether this is just a phase, like that time in ninth grade when I wore a trench coat for six months even though I lived in Florida and it was hot all the time. But for now, I've decided to experiment with a low-information diet. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Trump's Budget Explained

A3h5kcNHVxA | 17 Mar 2017

Trump's Budget Explained

I don't really know what this budget is meant to do aside from raise military spending dramatically while keeping spending almost exactly the same as it is now. It's remarkable how close they kept the actually dollar amount spent. The Bloomberg article below has the best look at some of the individual programs that are being cut. When looking through sources you might see that different organizations have different numbers for how much has been cut. Different organizations have counted differently. Some don't include the mandatory spending in the number (mandatory spending can increase, but there's no way to stop it from increasing.) I'm bummed about a lot of this budget. A ton of NASA's Earth Science (which is both efficient and valuable) is being scrapped. So many programs that help people who need it, especially the after-school and educational assistance programs. It will be interesting to see how the fight goes in congress. A selection of sources I used: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-trump-budget/ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/03/15/us/politics/trump-budget-proposal.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-presidential-budget-2018-proposal/?utm_term=.dd20e4af17d6 ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Also discussed are Hank's middle age guy mohawk, my silvery hair, whether humans define meaning in life, and how good Charizard would be at managing a Wendy's. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Do I Have ADHD?

byh0aAC5vm0 | 10 Mar 2017

Do I Have ADHD?

Just something I've been thinking about for a while. How to Know if you have ADHD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx13a2-unjE SciShow Psych http://www.youtube.com/scishowpsych I am very lucky to have found myself (and gotten myself) in a situation that is well suited to the quirks of my personality. But I still find myself sometimes unintentionally hurting people, annoying people, or letting people down even though I often know the exact mistake I am making. I'm not saying that means I have ADHD, I just want to continue to understand the mistakes I make, that I am prone to making them, and develop habits to stop myself. This channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-nPM1_kSZf91ZGkcgy_95Q is full of tips I find useful, and there are a number of habits I've developed on my own. Finally, here's a thing I didn't say in the video. I've struggled with worrying that if I get diagnosed, I will blame the disorder instead of myself and let that excuse my behavior. I know that's dumb, because if I'm being impaired by something, I should know and take the steps to reduce that impairment. But part of me always wants to believe that I'm strong and smart enough to handle any curve ball I get thrown without letting myself or other people down. I think that might be a pretty destructive way to look at it, which is why I'm glad I've allowed myself to get support from friends, family, and professionals over the years. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Hoping for an Airport Reunion: One Refugee Family's Story

sEGUrcseJo8 | 07 Mar 2017

Hoping for an Airport Reunion: One Refugee Family's Story

In which John goes to the airport--not, for once, to fly somewhere, but in hopes of seeing a family of Burmese refugees reunited. Thanks to Saw Kyar Aye and Thet Thet for sharing their story with me and for inviting me to the airport on that fateful day. SOURCES BELOW! Sponsor our 10k run here: https://www.gofundme.com/100Days10K All proceeds go to Exodus Refugee International, a local nonprofit working with refugees resettled in Indianapolis: https://exodusrefugee.org/ Sources: Forced labor remains a huge problem in Burma, also known as Myanmar, and those conscripted by the army into labor are often beaten and sometimes executed for desertion (or just for being injured): http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2082814,00.html Refugee resettlement does not increase crime rates in the United States. This study explored the relationship between crime in communities and refugee populations, finding an association (but not causation!!!!) between refugee resettlement and lower crime rates: http://www.renewoureconomy.org/research/is-there-a-link-between-refugees-and-u-s-crime-rates/ In general, immigrant populations commit crimes at a lower rate than native born populations in the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_crime#United_States and also https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-mythical-connection-between-immigrants-and-crime-1436916798 Then there is the question of whether immigration reduces wages. This is VERY HOTLY CONTESTED, so I'm going to try to be careful here. The best/most readable overview I've found is here: http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21688938-europes-new-arrivals-will-probably-dent-public-finances-not-wages-good-or but it focuses on the effect of refugee populations on European economies. Because refugees entering the United States are more thoroughly vetted and also more likely to be highly educated, in the U.S. refugees are less likely to decrease wages--i.e., they almost certainly don't. More info here: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/22/us/immigrants-arent-taking-americans-jobs-new-study-finds.html Then there's the question of whether a large influx of immigrants affect wages or unemployment. That's not super relevant to the U.S. right now, because we have relatively few refugee resettlements here, but it's an interesting side note. The WSJ has a good overview of the cloudiness here: http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2015/06/01/does-immigration-suppress-wages-its-not-so-simple/ The Brookings Institute claims that "on average, immigrant workers increase the opportunities and incomes of Americans." https://www.brookings.edu/blog/jobs/2012/05/04/what-immigration-means-for-u-s-employment-and-wages/ Other studies have found that large influxes of immigrants do depress wages for some low-skilled workers: https://www.hks.harvard.edu/fs/gborjas/publications/popular/NR2016.pdf And then of course there are studies that show the problem with the studies that show the problem with the other studies. It's complicated. Some day I'd like to make a video about the incredibly complex relationship between immigration and wages/unemployment/economic growth, but not today. For those looking to learn more about the current political situation in Myanmar, here's a more recent, deeply disturbing story about forced labor of the persecuted Rohingya minority in Myanmar: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-myanmar-rohingya-forcedlabour-idUSKCN0PC2L720150702 To be clear, the family I discuss in this video is not Rohingya; most Rohingya are Muslims. Saw Kyar Aye and his family are Christians of Chin ethnicity. But Chin people have frequently been targets of forced labor initiatives. Huge thank you to Sara Hindi and everyone at Exodus Refugee International for making this video possible. Thanks also to Mark Olsen for his videography and editing genius. Any mistakes are mine alone. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Doing Bad Things To Make Good Things Happen

Doing Bad Things To Make Good Things Happen

Tickets for NerdCon Nerdfighteria will be available at the door if you want to come by! $60! This weekend! http://www.nerdconnerdfighteria.com I realize that I have had huge advantages that make it easier for me to live this way. Like, I'm neither trying to stop a terrorist or trying to survive despite oppression. But I have seen many people do things they don't believe in to accomplish some career goal, to grow their business, or to make a bunch of money. They convince themselves of the good things that will allow them to do, but in the end they often seem quite sad. I know this will not be the case for all people, and it is likely more the case for me because I'm a rich white guy, but I have found that being kind and thoughtful and empathetic is a fantastic way to create successful art as well as successful business. And I'm tired of seeing small business owners trying to learn their lessons from Fortune 500 CEOs like Steve Jobs. Don't be Steve Jobs, he was amazing, but he was a dick. Be a human and treat humans like humans, because that's where the real work gets done. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Human Life Is Getting Better. Faster Than Ever Before.

eq6Z8OG7F_Q | 14 Feb 2017

Human Life Is Getting Better. Faster Than Ever Before.

Read and be inspired by the 2017 Gates Letter: https://www.gatesnotes.com/2017-Annual-Letter In which John discusses the annual letter from Melinda and Bill Gates, and how it shows that the world is getting dramatically better. Since I was your (average) age, global poverty has dropped from 30% to under 10%. Child mortality has been cut nearly in half. And by the time the average vlogbrothers viewer is my age, absolute poverty and child mortality should both be extremely rare everywhere on Earth. There is a lot of bad news. It is real. It is important. But it's also important to take a step back and look at the human story over time, and each year the Gates letter offers us that opportunity. SOURCES: Our World in Data is an amazing resource for understanding changes over time in the human condition, from literacy rates to life expectancy. Their overview of the child mortality situation is excellent: https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality/ as is their introduction to absolute poverty rates: https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty/ The In a Nutshell video I reference (which was made with Our World in Data, incidentally) can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsBT5EQt348 The 2014 Gates letter pretty well destroyed the argument that foreign aid doesn't work: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Who-We-Are/Resources-and-Media/Annual-Letters-List/Annual-Letter-2014 (It's true that much of the foreign aid during the Cold War was often minimally effective at reducing poverty and improving health, but it wasn't really DESIGNED to do either; it was designed to sway governments toward capitalism or communism. Foreign aid since 1990 has been been better targeted, especially when it comes to health care. There is a longer and more academic overview of the research here: https://www.oecd.org/dev/34353462.pdf Less than 1% of the U.S. federal government's budget goes to foreign aid: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/09/26/the-u-s-foreign-aid-budget-visualized/?utm_term=.48e0f09380d8 (...unless you count defense aid, then it is like 1.2%) Any other questions, feel free to ask in comments! ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Are We Making Things Worse?

Are We Making Things Worse?

POSTERS HERE: https://store.dftba.com/collections/refugee-art-posters You can choose how much you want to donate, but the minimum per poster is around $10. Also, there' a $150 package that includes ALL of the art! https://store.dftba.com/products/all-17-refugee-art-poster So, look, I never want to complain about the situation I am in, because it is so so wonderful. But having a platform means that I never really know how much I should be using it to affect change, or what the most effective strategies for that would be. If I did a third of the things I had ideas for, it would be too much, and yet I am always left feeling like I'm not doing enough. And, let's be honest, I don't know the best path forward...I'm a video blogger. But I do want to act for the things that I believe in. And I also want to do my best to do that without attacking the people who disagree with me. I know that's a little controversial in these days of Nazi punching, but it's way too easy to imagine that every person who likes Donald Trump is the same as Milo and Richard Spencer and they're just not. Some of them are terrible, absolutely, but 50% of Americans still approve of the job he's doing and I'm not ready to write off those people. And I think treating them like a monolithic block of racist scumbags does a lot more harm than good. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Behind the Scenes of My Life

7KldFvrA8c8 | 20 Jan 2017

Behind the Scenes of My Life

On the evening of the election here in the US, I tweeted my most re-tweeted tweet ever: "I know many many wonderful people who are dedicated to making the world a better place and that's a thing that will not change tonight." I know that lots of people are hopeful and pleased that we have a new president today. I am not. I am very worried. Many of the things I care about most, our new president is actively antagonistic toward. But that tweet is true no matter who controls the @POTUS Twitter account. I am not just hopeful, I am excited about the future. And much of that has to do with these great people who I am lucky enough to work with. I know that I'm their boss, and they know that too, but I hope they also know that our goal isn't to create money, it's to create value. It's to make things that people love, and that they care about, and that maybe even help them become better people. If you're feeling particularly drained by the political climate where you live, I suggest looking to the people you know in the real world rather than the ones you imagine are taking over your country. My guess is that there's a lot of hope there.

How Young Is History?

qxfD1DhqBiA | 17 Jan 2017

How Young Is History?

In which John Green considers the historical distance between Rome's Pantheon, the cave paintings at Lascaux, a different community's cave paintings at Chauvet, and the current day. Too often, we think that a hundred years, or a thousand, can tell us the whole story or history or art history. But cave paintings remind us that what we think of as history is a tiny fraction of the human story. HUGE THANKS to Rosianna for helping with all the images: http://youtube.com/rosianna Werner Herzog made a beautiful documentary about the Chauvet paintings called Cave of Forgotten Dreams. It's worth checking out for much more info on the paintings at Chauvet and the people who made them: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1664894/ ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

What Is the Real Unemployment Rate?

Hn6JWzoKv14 | 10 Jan 2017

What Is the Real Unemployment Rate?

In which John Green discusses the "real" unemployment rate in the United States, and how different ways of calculating jobless rates have led to vastly different conclusions about the health of the U.S. economy. SOURCES BELOW! Other questions addressed include: What is the difference between the U1 unemployment rate and the U6 unemployment rate? Which one is the better measure of unemployment? What percentage of Americans are employed? And what percentage of those unemployed are looking for work? And what does it all say about the present and future of the U.S. economy, and our divisive political discourse? Thank you to Rosianna for all the charts and graphs! http://youtube.com/rosianna The information in this video came from: 1. Trading Economics has great and visually intuitive explanations of the U-3 unemployment rate over time in the United States: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate 2. BLS stats about labor force participation rates and how many people out of the labor force say they "do not want a job now" https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cpseea38.htm 3. Information about the civilian labor force participation rate can be found here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CIVPART and the labor force participation rate for those between 25 and 54 can be found here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU01300060 4. This is a highly detailed article that I found helpful looking at causes of the decline in labor force participation: https://econsnapshot.com/2016/02/11/understanding-the-decline-in-us-labor-force-participation/ An easier to read overview at the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/09/06/the-incredible-shrinking-labor-force-again/?utm_term=.0a056f64b354 5. Real median household income in the United States is, after adjusting for inflation, rising but not yet to pre-recession levels: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N 6. This article explores how we try to have internationally comparable unemployment rates: https://stats.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2000/06/art1full.pdf 7. This web site has an easy-to-use interface that allows you to look at the U-3, U-5, and U-6 unemployment figures over time: http://www.macrotrends.net/1377/u6-unemployment-rate 8. This has up-to-date figures all unemployment measures (including U-1 and U-2, which aren't discussed in this video): http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/05/charts-whats-the-real-unemployment-rate.html I think that's it.

Turns out answering just one hard quesiton on Vlogbrothers is hard enough, and that's not really the sprit of the Question Tuesday. I might edit those into smaller videos and put them on Twitter, Facebook and/or Hankschannel if I have time.

The Most Interesting Thing I've Ever Done

LU4ygz-vTQY | 30 Dec 2016

The Most Interesting Thing I've Ever Done

Join us in celebrating 10 years of Nerdfighteria in Boston: http://www.nerdconnerdfighteria.com I went over-time on this video, but I still don't know that I was able to do this topic any sort of justice. First, I have to say that I said "I" a lot in the first paragraph because I was focusing on my own life but, of course, I had a lot of help doing those things I did (most of all from John.) Second...we've had ups and downs in the strength of this community, and it's also a certain amount of scary for me when it seems like the focus of it is not as much values and goals, but me or John as people. There's a weird line between being the doorway into something bigger and more interesting and getting...stuck in the doorway. I want you to like me, but I don't want you to be here for me. I want you to be here for whatever message I'm sharing that day, whether it's one of joy and silliness, or of compassion, or of knowledge. But I also think I can sometimes be distracted from the importance of what we're doing here on Vlogbrothers by all of the new things that this community has allowed us to do. And since Vlogbrothers is still just me and John, while our other things have whole teams, it's easy to get dragged into those things by the great ideas those teams are having. Which is a bummer, because I don't want to be distracted from our work trying to figure out how cohesive and constructive community can find new ways to exist as the old ways are working for fewer and fewer people. Thank you for an amazing 10 years...good god, how lucky am I... ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

My leave has been a really reflective time and one of the main takeaways from that reflection is how grateful I am for the support of this community and that we get to do cool and good things together. 2. The conference business is weird and difficult. I'm still dealing with some of the financial fallout from NerdCon: Stories. But it's so so worth it when I hear from people who say that VidCon or NerdCon is one of the best or the best times they have all year. I think it's so fantastically important that we gather together in the real world when we can and love things together. I'm so proud to help facilitate that for so many people. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

It's Pizzamas!!! (Thoughts From the Place Where they Print Our Shirts)

It's Pizzamas!!! (Thoughts From the Place Where they Print Our Shirts)

PIZZAMAS THINGS: https://store.dftba.com/collections/pizzamas For the last few years, John and I have done our best to get back in touch with our Nerdfighter roots by spending two weeks making a video every weekday. Unfortunately, this year this somehow fell into my paternity leave, so I'm not going to be doing that. But I did want to pre-make one video, and this is that video. Other guests will be filling in on my other Pizzamas days so there /will/ be 10 total Pizzamas videos. This video was filmed at Zoo City Apparel, the place here in Missoula where they print our shirts (also Rhett and Link's shirts, and VidCon's shirts, and a bunch of others.) I always like spending time there, seeing the hard work and attention to detail that they put into printing for us. They're very cool people. This Pizzamas we've also got a cool thing I didn't talk about this in this video because I wasn't sure it was going to be a thing. One of our shirts, Duncan's "Hot and Fresh" is only available in a $39 "Pizzamas Pizza Box." It will be delievered to your doorstep in the pizza box and has a pizza cutter, a notepad, and an apron in it as well. There's a bunch of other stuff at DFTBA.com/pizzamas as well like pajama bottoms, pet leashes, and stickers. YAY PIZZAMAS!!

Coming Out, Goats, Government, and Attack Ads with Denise Juneau

Montana has had a very strange thing happen this election. A gay, American Indian, Democratic woman was nominated to run against the incumbent (former Navy Seal, Ryan Zinke). Stranger still, several times she has polled within the margin of error. Full Interview Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeMerAkiO3I&feature=youtu.be To be clear, it was always (and remains) unlikely that Superintendent Juneau will win, but government is defined by more than just the winners of elections. Who we consider, how close races are, and the conversations that they bring to the table. I wanted a chance to just talk with Superintendent Juneau...with anyone really...who has a knowledge of government and also faith in government. I don't think that any politician is free of blame when it comes to hyper-partisanship, but I don't think we can move away from it without humanizing politicians and asking them to humanize each other. You can find out more about Denise Juneau here: https://denisejuneau.com/ https://www.facebook.com/denisejuneau/ Thanks to Nick Jenkins, Nicole Sweeney, and Caitlin Hoffmeister for getting up way too early in the morning to help with this. And, of course, to Superintendent Juneau who took time out of her ridiculously busy schedule to talk to me. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

Compassion, Weakness, and the 2016 Election

BC7JRRlZHHI | 14 Oct 2016

Compassion, Weakness, and the 2016 Election

This year has hit me right in the faith in humanity. It's hard to even pick which thing about it has upset me the most. And when I was writing this video, I just kept putting down more and more and more words...it was very hard to stay on one track. Anyway, I'm bummed out, but I just do my best to remember that the people I know in the real world are more than 90% super great, which means that's probably also roughly true of the general population. So that's something! This article that Joe Hanson sent me was helpful though (if a little thick): https://www.brainpickings.org/2016/03/16/rebecca-solnit-hope-in-the-dark-2/ Also, if you're wondering why I'm voting for Hillary Clinton, it's not just because I think Donald Trump believes the whole world is a game for him to win at any costs, and that his presidency would significantly increase the odds of apocalypse (though they would still be quite low). It's also because she's accomplished a great deal of good in her career, which I talked about a bit here: https://www.facebook.com/hankgreen/posts/10157157580065487 And, unlike a lot of people, I actually relate to her a lot, which i talk about here: http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com/post/151433613535/i-totally-get-wanting-to-support-hillary-in-this Do I have problems with Hillary? Sure...but they're mostly with things that I don't know /anything/ about, like how to conduct the foreign and military affairs of the most powerful country in the world. I feel like we do that wrong in the U.S.. But I also freely admit that I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to that stuff, and I think it's pretty weird that so many people think they do. Anyway. Humans are great. We've got our issues, but I'm quite proud of us...even in this pretty unpleasant year. ---- Subscribe to our newsletter! http://nerdfighteria.com/newsletter/ And join the community at http://nerdfighteria.com http://effyeahnerdfighters.com Help transcribe videos - http://nerdfighteria.info John's twitter - http://twitter.com/johngreen John's tumblr - http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com Hank's twitter - http://twitter.com/hankgreen Hank's tumblr - http://edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com

How do YouTubers Make Money?

How do YouTubers Make Money?

Brand deals, adsense, merch, gigs, touring, patreon, books...there is so much value in online video, and we've had a really hard time converting it into dollars efficiently. Lots of YouTubers are able to support themselves, some even get rich, but most can only supplement their other projects and jobs with their YouTube related revenue. It may be that creators will need to move more into subscription-style content for higher budget endeavors. But SciShow and Crash Course are safe and secure here on the YouTube platform. Both were designed with these systems in mind and have found a path to sustainability thanks to advertisers and our Patreon patrons.

Let's Talk about Failure

Particularly Monica Gasper, Patrick Rothfuss, and Mary Robinette Kowal. But also, all of our remarkable guests and attendees. Second, if I wasn't clear about this in the video, I really really don't want this video to seem like I'm here to make you feel bad about not coming to my event. That's not how this works. The event didn't work for a bunch of reasons and none of them are that you couldn't get off work or live to far away or don't have the cash to spare. Those are all great reasons to not come to NerdCon: Stories, but they're also things we took into account. The reasons it still did not work...i talk about them in this hankschannel video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecgWg5Csll4&feature=youtu.be Thanks for all of the kind words and support.

I forgot to mention this, but every Crash Course video is now available for download for teachers and students who can't access YouTube online at http://thecrashcourse.com/ On the topic of kiva working to get better outcomes with their microfinance partners: One of the big problems facing microfinance is that while access to banking services and inexpensive credit does help individuals to grow business, it hasn't been successful at reducing poverty across a social order. Absolute poverty is EXTREMELY complicated, and it's very difficult to sort out which levers need to be pulled to reduce it in a community, but kiva is now focusing much more on experimenting with more levers, from zero interest loans to working with organizations that approach poverty holistically instead of just functioning as banking institutions.

One Scientifically Proven Thing Actually Makes People Happier

One Scientifically Proven Thing Actually Makes People Happier

Awesome Sox Club: https://store.dftba.com/collections/awesome-sox-club There are actually a couple of other happiness-increasing technique that is somewhat non-intuitive, is shown to increase happiness in repeated studies, and is fairly easy to implement and difficult to reverse: Having a dog or cat. It appears that being needed by the animal makes the human feel as if they have intrinsic value which...I mean it would be nice if we had that without pets but, there it is. If you want the best bang for your buck, I would suggest a small dog or cat from the pound as it will eat significantly less food than a bigger animal. Another life change that actually effectively increases long-term happiness on average is marriage. This seemed a little too hairy for this video though. Also, DEFINITELY NOT DOSE-DEPENDENT. One spouse...better for happiness. Two spouses USUALLY NOT. So there you go...get a pet, get hitched, and shorten your commute. You need to get home anyway, so you can feed your dog!

You might say I left that out because it better suited the video to make a joke, or you might say that I just totally forgot about it because they list of things we've done is tooo loooong.
