Since some people had rough year in 2019 i want to recap what a huge change i made. I went from really unhappy in 2018 to not having a single bad day, not even more than half an hour in 2019. I stopped reading the news, started working out and especially i was nice to everyone. In the beginning it was hard to stay positive all the time, but once you master it every person around me was friendlier and i became happy. I sounds cheesy, but seed love in the world and you will harvest even more love. Peace my friend :)
That’s so great!! A few years ago after having been sexually abused, I was in survival mode but did a complete reset on my life like you and I couldn’t be happier now.
If you're kind, you will be taken advantage of. Some people just don't have that capacity, and it doesn't matter how friendly you are to them, you will find yourself getting taken, and left high and dry when the shoe is on the other foot and you falter only slightly. Relationships are conditional and if you don't meet expectations, you aren't worthwhile to others
@@Iweighmorewithoutclothes-wz1ph and thank you, I tend to be unforgiving in alot of regards, and have turned awfully sour. I also won't let anyone into my life feom past experiences
You mean, hold my.... corona? Womp womp. Corona virus is a big problem and it will probably create or accelerate other ones. But in itself it's pretty surmountable. It might have been contained and eradicated in a few months if everybody actually acted like it was real.
and 3 months further on again Corona still rules. Interesting that we can map out its whole genome within weeks and yet more than a half a year into it the only thing that the marvels of science can offer in fighting it is 'keep your distance and wear a mask'. 4 centuries of scientific progress to give advice a medieval peasant would be familiar with. LOL . Really not as smart as we like to think we are.
WaveArsenal , something tells me that corona virus, while being devastating for the earth’s populations, will ultimately be very good for the scientific community which are now developing several vaccines in warp speed. This should bring about a science explosion much like space exploration has provided.
“Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so.” Noam Chomsky
@Underwater Laser I understand this observation's intent. Still, one has to qualify what is meant by "better". Remember that Hitler was doing what he himself thought was "better" for Germany, which had a 95 percent participation rate in their Nazi Party. The same with Lenin, who starved 6 million Ukrainians to death. Same with Stalin, who murdered over 60 million of his fellow countrymen. Same with Mao, the evil leader of China, who slaughtered over 100 million of HIS own countrymen, all under the banner of marxism/socialism/communism. So one has to instead observe what is the nature of what someone wishes to bring into existence, and its effects, rather than simply allowing the idea of "working toward what's better". The very worst nightmares of the 20th century, amassing over 185 million corpses, were all begun under the nebulous idea of "making the world better".
@Carlos Saraiva as with everything in life, balance is important. That goes for optimism and pessimism, a balance of the two usually ends in reality. Balance is crucial to existence.
This is a recent Facebook post of mine.... "We are about to start the 2020's. Let's see how far we've come by looking back at the 1920's... "Americans were enjoying new consumer goods and luxuries in the 1920s, but some experienced extreme poverty. This, together with social inequality and racism, resulted in increased tensions." GCSE History They say "History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme." Sure looks like a repeat to me."
So this morning the first of the new month/year/decade I had a great uplifting experience, I Listened to my first but definitely not last Joe video. Here, as I listened to all the successes that we are achieving i was suddenly filled a sense of wonder and I realised I had just found Pandora’s box and opened it and found that HOPE was still inside. Don’t stop Joe don’t ever stop!!
@@squirlmy No people were harmed during the filming of that show, but a lot of old Dodge Chargers sure were!!! What a crime, since a "cherry" one today goes for upwards of 100K at classic car auctions!! :D
I have the same and much more. Look into mindfulness and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Words are not sufficient to describe how astounding my recovery has been.
Dear 2019 Joe. I enjoy this positive outlook. Very refreshing. I don't want to spoil anything for you but it's going to get a dark for a while, like sitting in a corner hugging your knees dark.....and we still haven't figured out how to get along very well yet. But truly appreciate the enthusiasm.
Hey joe. I have been watching for years and my favorite line you have said so far... "I didnt know i could be this happy" and thats why we watch. we can tell. good on you bro
Truthfully glad I stumbled upon this channel when I did. Your mentality about society and ability to present topics in a largely unbiased and scientific way while promoting positivity and love is stellar. Mad respect, and keep it up
Joe, your hard work and consistence has always been appreciated. Thank you for your sincere effort and I look forward to hearing what you have to say and share in 2020.

I really needed this video, I’ve been getting really down about the future over the last few months and knowing that there is still hope and excitement for future has really helped, thanks Joe!

Joe, Can't thank you enough for all your amazing content. Not only am I learning something new every few days but your nerdy brand of comedy is always keeping the videos light. I also wanted to let you know that your channel has given my Dad and I something to connect on across state lines. We are constantly calling each other to see if the other has seen the latest Answers With Joe. It has been great. Can't wait to see what you bring in 2020. Thanks for what you do! Sincerely, Logan
And here's to you Joe. Wishing you and your family all the happiness for the 2020‘s. Your videos are awesome and I appreciate the sharing of information you have researched
After 2019 feeling like such a horrible year this is the video I think we all needed to hope for a positive future. I've literally just subscribed 2 day's again I have been watching non stop since 😂 I really think your content is so great and thanks for the positive video.
I love ur regular content. I like getting new information, getting new insight, not just on specific topics, but stuff i never knew about. Vids like this are awesome, like the 2 sides to a coin. Probably not as often as your regular content, but as a well deserved dessert once in a while. Still remember the vid from u to the future, that was so refreshing and enlightening.
im also a generally optomistic person and i feel like the future will go on one end of the two extremes- a dystopian apocalyptic nightmare or a green, generally fair and happy society and with all the negative stuff thats happening and the fact that thats all people talk about make it really hard to stay optimistic but this video made me literally tear up bc you are so genuinely excited and optimistic for the future and a whole video of just good things made me so happy- it would be really cool to see another kind of video like these two, the negatives and positives with us easing out of the pandemic and the new developed technology. sorry for the text block, you are really cool and i wish you the best for 2023 :)
I think the future will be amazing for the top 0.1% and crappy for the bottom 99.9% but I think most of the bottom 99.9% will be happy for the top 0.1% because of how good it will be for them. Only the resentful people are screwed
@@stevechester3504 Sorry to disappoint you, but the 0.1% isn't happier than people who already have everything they need to have the basics covered and be safe, etc. with some good financial freedom (let's say top earners in the middle class in western societies, some western societies even at lower incomes). But you also underestimate how much better people are off on average around the world (think: China, India, Bangladesh, Africa, etc. have made huge strides from almost nothing to doing OK).
Thanks Joe. Cheers from east Texas. Love your work. Keep it up. Was kind of a downer last week, but that was the intent, I think. I'm very optimistic about our future as well. Thanks again.
I accidentally hit dislike on your comment while scrolling and panicked thinking first, that you'd know someone dislikes it and second that I hit dislike on a comment I might like. Turns out, I forgot that people have no idea how many dislikes they get for comments and I DO like your comment. Just thought I'd share.
As an Aussie can I just say how much I miss Steve Irwin... when he first started out I thought he was just playing the Aussie card a bit too hard but then I saw him moved to tears over an orphaned baby elephant in Sri Lanka and I realised the guy was the real deal. That’s who he actually was. Just a genuine, decent bloke. We should all take a page from the book of Irwin. And for that matter, from the book of Joe! Thanks for the great content mate! Love your work...
Love everything you do Joe, with all the negativity we face day to day it's nice to see all the positive swings happening in the world, it definitely feels like we may be witnessing a big turning point for mankind. Hope we see even more positive change at an even faster rate in the coming decade.
Don't get too high though. Capitalism will kill our society, if we cannot overcome it. Because it is the root and replicator of all our big problems. In spite of the intent of some well meaning investors, they are still bound by the profit motive and nothing can be funded, if the economy is collapsing.
Easily one of the best channels on RUclips ! Thanks Joe for all your hard work and awesome content over both of your channels and the Podcast. I have learned so much from you over the years and I can't wait for more :D Happy new year :)
I really enjoyed your optimistic outllook toward 2020 at the end of 2019. Little did we know...may it serve as a small reminder to count our blessings while we have them, and stay positive. Thank you Joe Scott, I am a fan of your work.
I love you dude, and really am addicted to your videos but you do have to chuckle at the timing of this just before the apocalypse... Keep up the good work Joe. We gotta have faith.
I love your channel. It’s so educational and i personally love that you don’t point out just your opinions, but you also go into depth to the opposite side .
Got teary eyed with you thanking your watchers. We thank YOU. You teach me more than any teacher I've ever had and knowledge is absolutely priceless. Keep up the good work, you wholesome you! 🙌🏻 (yes, I know this video is a little old, haha)
Dude, there needs to be more content on this website like this. Not that we should hear nothing but the positive, but you do a great job of being skeptical but also optimistic when it's appropriate. Too many people are either purely cynical or purely happy-go-lucky. And I really appreciate you showing both sides of things. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
Thank you Joe! When I can no longer take looking at the latest miserable news, I have you. Always interesting, always funny, just a very cool regular guy who lets his curiosity lead him where it may!
I discovered you this year and you've permanently changed my life for the better I can't thank YOU enough for all the knowledge and laughter you've given me Love you man
It's not about being divisive, theres 7.7 billion people sucking resources out of this earth, all the human rights crimes, rivers that run with chemicals in other country's. And this guy is stupid our culture has been based on burning carbon for way longer than 30 years so another 30 and were going to be carbon neutral? HAHAAHAHAHAHAA
@@JordanJank Hydrothermal liquefaction has been around for over 40 years. Even if we stuck to carbon, we know how to produce it from any organic slurry, including petrochemical, circulating at 3000psi and 300c in a thermal pressure pipe. Only government subsidies make it cheaper to pump from the ground. The only reason you dont hear about it is government suppression since it emerged, and the threat it presents to the oil industry. (You can make a setup for it at home for a couple hundred bucks, which would destroy the industry.) And the process is carbon negative so long as you are producing and sequestering more than you burn.
Thank you for this video joe. I imagine you didn’t think 2020 would go the way it has, but this video has helped me through the year. I watch all of your videos over and over, but this one is special. This video helps remind me that times aren’t always this “crazy”. I appreciate what you do and wan to say thank you for inspiring me to reach beyond my current situation and be better. Joe, you the man.
Joe - this will be the year you reach 1M subscribers. I love the way you analyze all sides of a topic and your generally positive attitude and humour (CDN). Keep up the great work. I look forward to it.
What a wholesome way to end the year :D Love your content Joe, and your personality and presentation. One of my top fav creators for sure. P.S. I prefer the quirkiness this channel provides and I hope you continue to do such quirky things.
I’ve been off social media for years and that wasn’t good enough to put me in a good mental state. I realized I also had to stop reading the news which I stopped reading in September.
ScienceGuy me also but oddly o still knew what was going on I don't have a social group I don't work I'm almost housebound but I got a sort of RSS feed to my Brain of major news it finds you
I agree, social media is poison. That said, to expand on @Rod Schmidt and @Cornelius Corcoran : find a news outlet from a foreign nation whose perspective you respect. Read how they comment on your nation's current events. It filters well for intra-cultural biases.
Escapism? Not good, especially for a Science Guy. What happens in the country and in the world affects science, and ultimately your life. You must know from where the blows are coming, and if you value anything besides of yourself (children, ecology, culture, justice), you need to know what's happening so you can put your effort into it. At least, to vote for the greater good. Or the lesser evil.
Dear Joe, Your the best of the best! Thanks for breaking it down so all can understand the main points. I find your points always clear and relevant. Not a real surprise since the platforms like Patrion, Curiosity Stream and some I can't recall at the moment produce the best analysis of subjects. Like, " Just have a think" , you both get my overwhelming approval and applause. We return the love with a standing ovation!
We love you too, Joe. I've learned so many awesome things from you in the last year or so since I started following your channel. Thank you for what you do, Joe. I hope your 2020 kicks so much ass.

Awe Joe. Got me to mist a bit a the end. I only recently started supporting you because I honestly did not respect RUclips to have information on the type of subjects I was earnestly seeking helpful explanations of. l only found your channel at the beginning of the year. It was your double slit experiment video that hooked me. I had an understanding of what the answer might already be and your explanation cut through a lot of painful overthinking and helped me to confirm some truths that I was looking for. Thank you sir. My favorite video after that is your perfect old fashion video. And that is why humans are AMAZING. Thanks for the hard work and don't forget the chair spinning thing.

I think the future will be amazing for the top 0.1% and crappy for the bottom 99.9% but I think most of the bottom 99.9% will be happy for the top 0.1% because of how good it will be for them. Only the resentful people are screwed
@@stevechester3504 Sorry to disappoint you, but the 0.1% isn't happier than people who already have everything they need to have the basics covered and be safe, etc. with some good financial freedom (let's say top earners in the middle class in western societies, some western societies even at lower incomes). But you also underestimate how much better people are off on average around the world (think: China, India, Bangladesh, Africa, etc. have made huge strides from almost nothing to doing OK).
The "I didn't know I could be this happy!" part made my day! Thanks for being awesome! Happy New Year!
Thanks Joe. Cheers from east Texas. Love your work. Keep it up. Was kind of a downer last week, but that was the intent, I think. I'm very optimistic about our future as well. Thanks again.
Dan G props for being optimistic, especially living in Texas 😬
I accidentally hit dislike on your comment while scrolling and panicked thinking first, that you'd know someone dislikes it and second that I hit dislike on a comment I might like. Turns out, I forgot that people have no idea how many dislikes they get for comments and I DO like your comment. Just thought I'd share.
Cheers from Shreveport Dan! Don’t find too many people on RUclips from our corner of the world
We love you Joe. It's been such a great year discovering you and your vids.
As an Aussie can I just say how much I miss Steve Irwin... when he first started out I thought he was just playing the Aussie card a bit too hard but then I saw him moved to tears over an orphaned baby elephant in Sri Lanka and I realised the guy was the real deal. That’s who he actually was. Just a genuine, decent bloke. We should all take a page from the book of Irwin. And for that matter, from the book of Joe! Thanks for the great content mate! Love your work...
Yeah we miss him too
Big luv to you Joe. You improve my life man
Love everything you do Joe, with all the negativity we face day to day it's nice to see all the positive swings happening in the world, it definitely feels like we may be witnessing a big turning point for mankind. Hope we see even more positive change at an even faster rate in the coming decade.
"I love you guys.... *Now here's a message from our sponsor..!"*
I'm joking but that timing was funny
Yeah those transitions are often awkward.
@@egarran but it works lol
@@nyax129 Not this time, that was the most awkward, obvious segway I have ever seen. It's OK though, his channel is great.
It's all gonna happen,the powers that be have nowhere else to go,most of em anyway.
@@savtraffic okay mark
I needed this positivity
Same, monday morning and I'm feeling the drag. This really picked up my spirits.
Don't get too high though. Capitalism will kill our society, if we cannot overcome it. Because it is the root and replicator of all our big problems. In spite of the intent of some well meaning investors, they are still bound by the profit motive and nothing can be funded, if the economy is collapsing.
Easily one of the best channels on RUclips ! Thanks Joe for all your hard work and awesome content over both of your channels and the Podcast. I have learned so much from you over the years and I can't wait for more :D Happy new year :)
I really enjoyed your optimistic outllook toward 2020 at the end of 2019. Little did we know...may it serve as a small reminder to count our blessings while we have them, and stay positive. Thank you Joe Scott, I am a fan of your work.
I guess if last week’s video was the penultimate then this must be the Ultimate Joe Scott video. Happy New Year
I really really like how you do your traditional videos I like this way too but I like the other ones more
vTerrible how did you manage to comment 2 days ago when the video was literally posted 10 min ago😁
I’m not even high
@@meows_and_woof Patreon early access I'm guessing. Or you're just imagining this comment aswell. Blue, soft peaches.
@@meows_and_woof
back to the future...
Renewables do literally nothing to cool the earth though
@@imgayasheck595 What has your comment to do with the first comment and the others. Smh
Joe you're my Mister Rogers. Thank you
So true
Same ❤️
😊😊😊
I feel like I'm going to be saying this a lot... watching this in the middle of 2023 is WILD!
I love you dude, and really am addicted to your videos but you do have to chuckle at the timing of this just before the apocalypse...
Keep up the good work Joe. We gotta have faith.
Joe, I've had a particularly rough last few weeks, your optimism has been really helpful. Thank you. Happy New Year!
"I do really love you guys" damnit Joe. I didn't come here to cry. *Wipes a tear*
Seriously though... Happy New year Joe
Morning coffee and answers with Joe. Great way to start the day
Watched this video on a particularly dark day. Much needed, appreciated and well timed. Joe, don't stop doing your thing.
I love your channel. It’s so educational and i personally love that you don’t point out just your opinions, but you also go into depth to the opposite side .
Have a great year Joe! You re doing a great job! You re a great entertainer and science communicator! Best wishes for the next decade!
Just tell me everything's gonna be alright Joe...
_I need this_
Been watching/reading scary stuff :0
HAPPY 2020!!
I'm not crying! You're crying!! Such a wholesome message Joe! Love the energy, compassionate spirit, and your zest for life! Happy 2020!! 😊✌🏼🌟🌠
Got teary eyed with you thanking your watchers. We thank YOU. You teach me more than any teacher I've ever had and knowledge is absolutely priceless. Keep up the good work, you wholesome you! 🙌🏻 (yes, I know this video is a little old, haha)
Dude, there needs to be more content on this website like this. Not that we should hear nothing but the positive, but you do a great job of being skeptical but also optimistic when it's appropriate. Too many people are either purely cynical or purely happy-go-lucky. And I really appreciate you showing both sides of things. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
Loads of hugs and warmth to you from a humble watcher from Kyiv, Ukraine))
Also watching from Kyiv, Ukraine! :)
Thank you Joe! When I can no longer take looking at the latest miserable news, I have you. Always interesting, always funny, just a very cool regular guy who lets his curiosity lead him where it may!
I’m gonna come back in ten years and watch this to see if any of this happens
Some of them will happen in maybe half that time which would also be very cool.
Me too! I predict that a decade will have passed! Safe!! :D LOL.
Congratulations on your happiness and thanks for sharing it with us. This was nice and needed thank you, again.
you didn't only give me a smile, you gave me a little bit of hope, and I can't state how precious that is
Finally...now I know that block in the top right is called a “doobly doo”. Thanks Joe!
I think it's called annotations.
@@AmanRaj-lp5lz r/woooooosh
Joe Scott: I wanna get virtually intimate....
Me: $5 Take off your shirt!
ROFL.
Joe does go private. But not for $5. He is classy. And also only to give advice. “Or *IS* it?”
Tara M you tell US? Lol jkjk but this was a funny comment
Blahhhhhhhh
Done.
I discovered you this year and you've permanently changed my life for the better
I can't thank YOU enough for all the knowledge and laughter you've given me
Love you man
A year late watching ...but super happy to have found your channel!
15:37 Mate, you get what you give, and you give quality. Glad to hear you're feeling the feels back though. You deserve it. Love your work. ✌🏼
This is exactly the title I needed to see today.
As soon as you said "I think we're all tired of the divisiveness" I DESTROYED that like button.
It's not about being divisive, theres 7.7 billion people sucking resources out of this earth, all the human rights crimes, rivers that run with chemicals in other country's. And this guy is stupid our culture has been based on burning carbon for way longer than 30 years so another 30 and were going to be carbon neutral? HAHAAHAHAHAHAA
@@JordanJank Hydrothermal liquefaction has been around for over 40 years. Even if we stuck to carbon, we know how to produce it from any organic slurry, including petrochemical, circulating at 3000psi and 300c in a thermal pressure pipe. Only government subsidies make it cheaper to pump from the ground. The only reason you dont hear about it is government suppression since it emerged, and the threat it presents to the oil industry. (You can make a setup for it at home for a couple hundred bucks, which would destroy the industry.)
And the process is carbon negative so long as you are producing and sequestering more than you burn.
But Joe, the decade isn't over till the END of 2020!
You’re awesome. Thanks for doing this video. I needed this.
Thank you for this video joe. I imagine you didn’t think 2020 would go the way it has, but this video has helped me through the year. I watch all of your videos over and over, but this one is special. This video helps remind me that times aren’t always this “crazy”. I appreciate what you do and wan to say thank you for inspiring me to reach beyond my current situation and be better. Joe, you the man.
Can’t wait to learn more about carbon capture technology! Thanks for running such a great channel, looking forward to much more in the new decade!
I'm glad you're my internet neighbor!
you spin me right round, Joe right round. Like a record Joe right round, round, round...
I think that's a Beatles song, no?
@@frank1803 no.
Dead or Alive is the band - released around 1985.
Your humor is the most valuable part. Thanks Joe, You make a difference with us.
Joe - this will be the year you reach 1M subscribers. I love the way you analyze all sides of a topic and your generally positive attitude and humour (CDN). Keep up the great work. I look forward to it.
What a wholesome way to end the year :D
Love your content Joe, and your personality and presentation. One of my top fav creators for sure.
P.S.
I prefer the quirkiness this channel provides and I hope you continue to do such quirky things.
Your vids make an idiot like me feel informed and prepared for the future.
I’ve been off social media for years and that wasn’t good enough to put me in a good mental state. I realized I also had to stop reading the news which I stopped reading in September.
I agree, but probably good to read a news summary from two opposite media sources about once a month.
ScienceGuy me also but oddly o still knew what was going on I don't have a social group I don't work I'm almost housebound but I got a sort of RSS feed to my Brain of major news it finds you
@@corneliuscorcoran9900 Best to read news about a country you've never heard of
I agree, social media is poison. That said, to expand on @Rod Schmidt and @Cornelius Corcoran : find a news outlet from a foreign nation whose perspective you respect. Read how they comment on your nation's current events. It filters well for intra-cultural biases.
Escapism? Not good, especially for a Science Guy. What happens in the country and in the world affects science, and ultimately your life. You must know from where the blows are coming, and if you value anything besides of yourself (children, ecology, culture, justice), you need to know what's happening so you can put your effort into it.
At least, to vote for the greater good. Or the lesser evil.
Joe, you've earned every bit of your support. Here's to a prosperous 2020
Dear Joe,
Your the best of the best! Thanks for breaking it down so all can understand the main points. I find your points always clear and relevant. Not a real surprise since the platforms like Patrion, Curiosity Stream and some I can't recall at the moment produce the best analysis of subjects. Like, " Just have a think" , you both get my overwhelming approval and applause. We return the love with a standing ovation!
This just appeared in my recommended after watching it five months ago and I am convinced things are NOT GOING TO BE OKAY 😭😂
Narrator: Things did not end up okay.
Narrator: It was hard, but eventually, things ended up okay.
My favorite thing about your channel is when you started saying that you love us at the end! We love you back!
The greatest 2 things the USA have contributed to the world is space exploration and jazz. Glad to hear space is back.
I thought it was fast food and single use coffee cups.
Black people made jazz not "the USA" and the ussr beat the usa to space
I am really relieved to see this video today. My anxiety has been in overdrive recently and this made me feel better.
We love you too, Joe. I've learned so many awesome things from you in the last year or so since I started following your channel. Thank you for what you do, Joe. I hope your 2020 kicks so much ass.
Staying away from social media makes me happy.
To summarize the last two videos: "We'll fix this mess, or we'll die trying."
If you could choose any time in history to live, you would still choose now.
For sure.. if choosing the future is off the table.
100%
Nope slightly before now then I could place money on Trump & Johnson being in power. Oh the bookies face if I did it early enough!
@@KarryKarryKarry If you wait long enough, the future will be history.. then you can choose it :)
I will choose 30 years ago.
Balanced commentary - so rare - why this channel is an oasis for the thinking amongst us - Happy new year mate :)
I love you man!
Seriously great channel. Been a fan for a couple years now. Great topics, and you're humble, humorous, and straightforward.
It's the end of the world as we know it!
And i feeeeeel fineeeeee
Fine!
thats what all the drugs and narcotic painkillers are for!!!
I love Great Big Sea! That is such a good song
@@tomkelly8827 What in heaven's name are you talking about??
Ghost - 47 is referring to REM's "It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)".
Right, lots of folks believed the "world ended" in 2016, but the record one year 33% gain in my S&P 500 stock mutual fund in 2019 has "softened that blow" a bit for me!! Got sooooooo much new CASH now; need to "hide" it from the IRS!! Maybe with more charitable donations!! But I still feel fine,... just winning, and winning!! :D LOL.
This is the second video I watched in a row that made this note that "pedants insist that the decade begins in nnn1, but who cares!" (the other was Derek the Veritasium's on resolutions, New Year or otherwise). Great minds think alike! :o)
Lol. I care. It's been a pet peeve of mine since way before 1999! But I really like Joe's videos and Veritasium and I totally appreciate your point of view! Happy 2020!
Well, I didn’t add that disclaimer in last weeks video and I think it caused a few strokes.
Depends. Programmers consider 0 as the beginning of a count.
@@wolvenar Yes, but calendar counts the year we are in, not the full year offsets. When we enter 2020, we will be in the 2020th year of the era (that is, 2019 full years and some change will have passed from the start of it).
@@joescott You're pretty wholesome too.
If there’s anything that gives *me* hope for the future, it’s you, Joe.
Here’s a Texas-sized New Year’s hug.
As in someone with an open mind? I agree. Even he knows he doesn't know everything. Such logic with that one.
Thanks 5 months ago Joe. I really needed this tonight. Keep on keeping on man.
Peace on earth and good will to all...we love you Joe....please keep on speaking from your heart....best wishes to all in the year 2020.
well this aged like milk...
why?
Yeah, I miss the bongos, and the previous format. It engages my attention span better than just a talking head. Just my 2 cents.
Hmmm, I always thought it was coconut shells banged together,...whatever, you are right. Don't mess with success Joe,.....you should know,..... just like "Don't Mess with Texas"!! ;D
@@ronschlorff7089 How would he get coconuts in Texas. Do they migrate?!
@@felixhaggblom7562 They sell them at Trader Joe's Market in all the USA!, they are right next to those big tiger shrimp (prawns) we get from Thailand! You don't have that? So sorry!! ;D lol.
@@ronschlorff7089 Perhaps swallows could carry the coconuts from Thailand by gripping it by the husk?
@@cretaceoussteve3527 I think you will find the swallow to coconut weight ratio simply does not allow for that ...LOL

Joe. I found your channel this year, and I have to say I have enjoyed every video you put out. I love you too.
Awe Joe. Got me to mist a bit a the end. I only recently started supporting you because I honestly did not respect RUclips to have information on the type of subjects I was earnestly seeking helpful explanations of. l only found your channel at the beginning of the year. It was your double slit experiment video that hooked me. I had an understanding of what the answer might already be and your explanation cut through a lot of painful overthinking and helped me to confirm some truths that I was looking for. Thank you sir.
My favorite video after that is your perfect old fashion video. And that is why humans are AMAZING. Thanks for the hard work and don't forget the chair spinning thing. The audience needs that stuff to connect or disconnect from the hard subjects your continue to cover.
Joe, I can literally watch/listen to all your videos back-to-back all day, (and often do) so thanks for doing what you do!
