Feeling Weirdly Optimistic With Hank Green - Episode 17
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Hank Green is one of the first and most popular science communicators on RUclips, having started out with his brother, author John Green, on their channel Vlogbrothers, and growing an empire of science channels through his company, Complexly. Along the way, the two of them founded VidCon, now the largest online video conference in the world, and he's written two books, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing and A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor.
He joined me to talk about all things science and RUclips, a little bit of politics and some surprising reasons to be optimistic about the world right now.

I’m so happy that you got this conversation with Hank! Watching a lot of Crash Course and other Complexly videos is what led me to your channel along with many other high-quality educational RUclipsrs.
Two of my favorite RUclips people! 🥰
Thank you Joe for sharing this.
Yes like the meeting of Smith and Wesson. But the science version 😆
That's almost word for word the comment I posted on the clip of this conversation on Joe's main that brought me here 👍😎👍😁❤️
Got my 4th covid vax shot AND I still weary masks indoors, but I kick it old school, 2020 style.
Hank Green co founded VIDCON?!? 😮 I would imagine 90% of content creators have no idea who this genius is!!
Yeah, and he co-founded with his brother, who openly admits that Hank did most of the work so that's even more impressive
Regarding the unpopular crazy or negative comments having the same look and amount of space as popular/sane comments do, that's very insightful, thank you. Maybe we need word clouds for sentiment in comments, something like "people who comment on this post commonly use those phrases: very insightful, thank you, great video". Or it could group comments by topics, i.e. "john green, covid shot, environment legislation" and start with the most popular comments on that topic.
I really enjoyed this one, even just getting to hear you guys talk about the circles you run in. It was just great. I love the work both you guys do :)
My first exposure to the Brothers Green, was John doing crash course world history. This was back in 2010 or 2011. "Except for the Mongols"!His outtro of "like they say in my home town, 'don't forget to be awesome' ". Trying to delve in to that phrase brought me to Vlogbrothers, looking for Alaska, and the rest. (OH, I'm 53, so not exactly the target demo for them)
I absolutely could not be you and not go all fanboy over Hank.
I had no idea that they founded VidCon until I watched this video, also had no idea that John wrote The Fault in Our Stars :O
"Nobody would say printing press bad..."
Oh, Hank! 🤣
Never heard of Tom Scott until this conversation. Interesting channel.
I have been hoping for this collaboration for years! Thank you both so much!
Listening to you guys talk makes me want to share that I provided copies of Stephen Pinker's "Enlightenment Now" to several family members who were sinking way too low secondary to Trump, Covid, Climate Change, etc. Easy to miss the forest through the trees.
Two of the best science communicators AND VOICES TO BOOT in RUclips, in one conversation?!??)??!!!
Yes SIR.
Well I can imagine people not into science don't know him :) For example how one of those flat-earthers watching pewdiepies and alike would know him, lol? My favorite is SciShow Space, because I'm literally space addict, love astrophysics, cosmology, astronomy, quantum physics and anything there may be related to that.
what why are flat-earthers watching pewdiepie?? thats so random
@@areeshafatima798 that's just joke :) Because flat-earthers wouldn't watch SciShow Space :)
Indirect Cyborg, w/ JCVD; Make it now!
Amazing talk. Greetings from Brazil.
Hey! Would love a chance to speak with you. I think you're listeners would find it highly entertaining.
This was the best thing I’ve seen in a while.
Great episode. Keep doing this podcast!
Omg! It's Joe Rogan and that guy that wrote paper towns!
Who the eff is Hank?!
Great conversation! I loved it. I had trouble hearing some things though - maybe some volume compression or leveling would help. Thank you!
Couldn't agree more. I ran into Hank at the airport gate a couple years back. Knowing I wouldn't be allowed back into my home if I didn't get a selfie with him I approached.
What's even better is after we boarded, wouldn't you know he was seated directly in front of me. We chatted for a bit until the captain made us sit down and buckle up. Super cool guy.
Hank, that is. The captain was alright, I guess.
Thanks Joe! Where do you go after SciShow? Brian Green maybe? Even that might be a step backwards, because Hank is SO good!
I am reminded of a quote from sombody (I forget who), which went something like "I assert that the moon is not made of green cheese, because there are no known processes that would result in that, cheese would by defintion imply milk, which implies a lot of cows, so where the hell are they, plus we've actually fucking gone there and its a ginormous rock! Why should your assertion that the moon IS made of green cheese be given equal weight?"
I'm not sure where Iwas going with that but hell it's late and now I'm going to bed to dream about cheese.
His video on the topic really was very good: The Biggest Climate Bill of Your Life - But What does it DO!?
Dude!!! I'm so happy you did a podcast with hank green!! 😁😁😁
To me it seems that bills like this take so long to get written into law because you only have the two parties and they are nearly exact opposites on so many important subjects.
I don't understand how you're able to live together when there is so much animosity. It's like every day your next civil war could break out.
Love Hank Green stuff. And there is a lot on RUclips lol. Most recently have been digging the Journey into the microcosmos in podcast form. And it definitely is an ASMR channel 😆 Fall asleep to it often
1:16:25 Imagine teaching a class of 50+ kids in a 3rd world country.
Who the fuck is Hank Green?
Hank Green is a list of fictional diaries categorized by type, including fictional works in diary form, diaries appearing in fictional works, and hoax diaries.
1:11:23 that's so saddening. Here in The Netherlands that would almost never happen.
DFTBA
From a conservative libertarian, y'all are, by far, my favorite progressives. Can't get enough. You both have changed my perspective on many, many things.
1:13:27 this isn't at all surprising to me. It makes sense, however much we don't like it.
Heyyy, it's the TikTok guy!!
Hahaha he's been on YT for like ever
His cousin Red was hilarious.
imagine! 2 of my favourite people having a very deep but fun but scary but wonderful but horrifying conversation. yay!
I am also passionate about climate change legislation. Please vote especially in local elections
I don't watch this channel much but this was great so going to check more out.
Can someone PLEASE tell me the name of that intro music? Its so good omg
oh my god Hank I went to Rax as a kid and a clown popped a balloon in my face and I cried for hours lol thank you for confirming it was a real place
I like journey to the microcosmos a lot. My pfp is a rotifer lol.
Coming from a man of science... There sure is alot of speculation going on here...
Ha. I sat a few feet away from Hank at a coffee shop in his home town last week.
I know im late but what happened at 13:49 that was jarring
yayyyy! So glad to see Hank here on your channel :D :D :D
Well I must live under a rock. I had no idea who he is.
Thank you for putting these up on RUclips, loving this content.
What a braingasm, thank u for this.
After having seen Hank's videos and interviews about the climate aspects of the IRA, I am loving the thinking that spawned those concepts.
ok... this go to be a gas...
Off topic, but Joe if your sister ever takes trips down to Twin Falls (about an hour from Boise), let her know I can hook her up with some pretzels, if she goes to the mall there..slim chance, but happy to hook it up!
This was great. Big thanks to both of you for taking the time from your busy schedules. Such a delightful pair of great minds.
I've always used a dumbphone. I was only forced to upgrade to a smartphone a few months ago, when I found out I wasn't able to make a hospital appointment to get an MRI without one. Quite a dystopian future we all live in now.
I didn't know about the history of the Green brothers, even though I watch SciShow every single day for years now.
Love this podcast so much, it would be awesome if you could get someone like Emad from stability ai on the podcast or someone else big in ai since its gotten so much media attention in the past few months.
Yeah, the Green brothers sure are great communicators, but I still wouldn't recommend them. Especially not their channel SciShow. Shadiversity has a video about a video of theirs that I knew was wrong as soon as I watched it. What happened? Did they beg forgiveness for their huge mistake? Nope, they just hid the video. That day they lost a subscriber and I will never ever watch a video of theirs again since I won't be able to trust them getting it right anymore. Hank Green is a great communicator though. Seems nice, too.
Shad's video is called "SciShow GOT IT WRONG! Reply to The "Lost" Recipe for Damascus Steel, Feat, IPostSwords".
I mean that seems a bit dramatic, if they got something wrong then took it down when they realized it was incorrect, I don't really see what the major problem is? Keeping the video up and pretending it was correct would have been an actual problem. Requiring people to Beg for forgiveness for being wrong about something is a bit much. Maybe an editorial "hey turns out not so much." would be good though. I haven't seen the video, but I know what Damascus steel is so presumably the video didn't have any life threatening stakes in it requiring "Begging" to be necessary that maybe a health video would have.
Acknowledging mistakes is hard sometimes, people should do it, but I can see why you wouldn't want to if everyone's going to rip you a new one no matter what you do. And you can trust the videos because like your own comment pointed out, somebody WILL notice if they fuck up and point it out. They are talking about independently verifiable things. I often use Scishow as a springboard into looking more deeply into a niche subject that I didn't even know existed before.
(Also nowadays Scishow and Crashcorse are much bigger than just Hank and John so my suspicion is that it was somebody else's fuck up but that inevitably the faces of companies get the best and worst of said companies publicity equally wrongly.)

When you make an obvious mistake that also basically insults several other cultures then you should indeed take down the video but you should also admit to the mistake. Just deleting it makes them seem as if they are sweeping it all under the rug. Not the best impression. But yeah, an editorial video "Our mistake! Here's the real information" would have been fine, but alas.
I don't know which one's mistake it was, but it was a royal mistake and just a little research should have made it obvious. I also thought I could trust their information, but that one video was about a subject I have actually studied, so it was obvious just how much error there was in that video. Makes one wonder how much error there is in videos one does not know as much about. I know very well that not all their videos are wrong on that channel, but after that one I just can't trust them anymore. It's that simple.
@@Elora445 I mean again, I haven't seen the video so I'll take your word for it. But I'm really going to assume from literally everything I've ever seen from them ever that any culture specific insults were thoroughly unintentional.
If you can't trust it that's ok, I try to take things with a grain of salt myself even from people I like. Because everyone is capable of making mistakes. (Which by the way, Hank himself has said before that people shouldn't take his words as gospel and that he is human and that he might get things wrong sometimes.) That's also much easier for him to impliment on his personal channels I think because I've seen him do the "oops I got this part wrong" videos on his own channel before.
@@mayaenglish5424
You can at least see parts of the video in Shadiversity's video "SciShow GOT IT WRONG! Reply to The "Lost" Recipe for Damascus Steel, Feat, IPostSwords" (since you can no longer post links, I'll just spell out the video's name instead). No, he's not very professional in his reactions to the video, but he's not wrong about how many errors the original video made. He might have posted the entire SciShow video, but I'm not sure - has been a while since I last watched it.
I'm sure the culture specific insult weren't intentional, but oh boy was it bad.
I'm glad Hanks posts that kind of video on his personal channel. Wish they also did it on SciShow.
Thanks for introducing the guest. I've heard his voice and recognized it, but didn't know who he was beyond that
Thank you Joe. I love Hank Green's work and communications skill.
I grew up in Ireland and have lived here most of my life and I STILL am astounded when the sun goes down at half 10 in the summer and astounded when it goes down at 4pm in the winter. It never stops being weird.
I like how by coincidence I use the same headphones as one of my favorite people (Hank) 🥰
For such a big internet personality Hank sure says "ya know" a lot.
Thank you so much for this wonderful conversation. I sincerely hope that you and Hank can do this more than once.
Super cool
Another really fun Conversation! Keep up the great work :)
Nerdgasm! 🤯
I love this channel, Keep up the good work Joe!
Fastest route from Messula to Boise is 7hr and 18min… Hank NAILED that guess lol
Two of my favorite people! I love you guys.
Do John next
I am actually so releaved to find what GREAT company I am in, holding these dichotomies of the brilliant problem fixing abilities held by monkeys with guns! Lol
I know it was a throw away line, but to hear someone say I should've gotten my 4th shot, but didn't like a dork is gd hilarious lol
