- I Was Wrong about the Average AmericanE16
I Was Wrong about the Average AmericanIn which John falls way down the rabbit hole trying to learn what the average American's life is like--from income to taxation to political ideology to opinion on Taylor Swift. p.s. MASSIVE THANKS to Sheridan Gibson for teaching me how to color correct! - I Believed These Four LiesE19
I Believed These Four LiesI'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. - Three Whole Onions with Secretary Pete ButtigiegE38
Three Whole Onions with Secretary Pete ButtigiegPete 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.) - Some Reasons why People SuckE48
Some Reasons why People SuckIf you can believe it this video is cut down significantly from its original length. I have been feeling a lot of frustration lately at our inability to forgive ourselves at all. Like, we're good at forgiving friends, bad at forgiving strangers, but worst of all at forgiving humanity in total, and I think that is in part because the price of admission to modern society seems to involve pointing a firehose of despair directly at your face. - The Assassination Attempt and the Comfort of CertaintyE55
The Assassination Attempt and the Comfort of CertaintyI hope I make the case in this video that doomscrolling / obsessively watching the news in a time of some significant event makes sense even if it is not healthy. Sometimes people come at me for being irrational, and I'm like "Yeah, ok, I'm literally an animal trying to feel safe in the world." - I Have Uncovered an Olympics Mystery...E62
I Have Uncovered an Olympics Mystery...Oh, and if you were curious, the reason why there are an odd number of swim events is because there is one mixed relay...where both men and women compete, so there isn't both a men's and women's event. I think there's actually 35 swimming events, not 37, but the point stands!! - The Forgotten Viral Video that Could Never be Made TodayE74
The Forgotten Viral Video that Could Never be Made TodayPizzamas!!! I can't believe we sign up to do this every year. I have no idea how I'm going to make it work but I guess that's the whole idea! I think the biggest reason I love this so much is because I was /there/ for it, and it felt really big and weird and wild and important even though basically no one knew it was happening. One of my super powers has always been the ability to just believe things are important when other people don't. - You have no chance to survive make your time.E75
You have no chance to survive make your time.In which John considers the history of the first youtube video he ever saw. And remember: No matter how well you plan, no matter how carefully you live, someday you will discover that all your base are belong to us, and you will have to make your time. - What I learned from the weirdest day of my lifeE80
What I learned from the weirdest day of my lifeI have been asked how I know when I've succeeded when I don't put much stock in dreams anymore, and I guess this video is the answer to that question. I don't think success actually exists, but helping definitely does. - Hank Steals John's CellsE83
Hank Steals John's CellsIn which John, as it turns out, does not need to stick anything up his nose. That's a covid test. This is a video about the importance (and ease!) of signing up for the bone marrow donor registry. Never underestimate nerdfighteria; I'm sure we can expand the registry together! - My New Book: Everything Is TuberculosisE86
My New Book: Everything Is TuberculosisIn which John announces the publication of his seventh book, Everything Is Tuberculosis, an exploration of the history and presence of our deadliest infectious disease. I AM SO EXCITED AND NERVOUS TO SHARE THIS BOOK WITH YOU. - I Don't Want them to Get Away With It...E87
I Don't Want them to Get Away With It...Honestly, part of why I didn't call on y'all to take any particular action against Danaher right now is that there is an awful lot going on with national politics in the US and it is hard to ask y'all to take on any extra weight right now. But no one in history has been free to only focus on one problem, so regardless of how the election goes (it is extremely close) we will need to keep fighting for a better world in all kinds of ways. - Hank's very messy post-cancer year of mistakes, meaning, and anxiety...E90
Hank's very messy post-cancer year of mistakes, meaning, and anxiety...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!) - Populism, Media Revolutions, and Our Terrible MomentE96
Populism, Media Revolutions, and Our Terrible MomentWhat is Going On: Explained 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. - I am Grateful for My WorryE98
I am Grateful for My WorryIn which Hank just shares some thoughts. I recognize that I am only so capable of actually controlling the way I feel about things. 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. - About THAT Scene in Looking for AlaskaE103
About THAT Scene in Looking for AlaskaIn which John discusses the widespread banning of his first novel Looking for Alaska, and the single page in the book that has caused so much controversy. Also discussed: Book banning in general, the professions of teaching and librarianship, the ability of teens to read critically, and so on. - Fine, I'll Talk About the Drones...E104
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!
