So Much to See

It seems like content is now infinite...and maybe, for some of us, it is. But in other ways it is not. But also, maybe we're getting close...maybe. What does that mean for us? Because I don't think it's a little thing.

Hank: Don't get tiktok.
Also Hank: Tiktok is the Italian Renaissance happening in the 21st century.

I'm stunned how much mileage the Brothers Green are getting out of All Star lyrics.

Fun fact: I accidentally bought your book twice because I was so excited I forgot I already ordered it.

You're the first YouTuber who's told people not to download TikTok just to follow you. #DFTBA

[RynJorgensen]

Additionally, I look forward to the playlist that puts these videos in lyric order and thus bounces us wildly through different moments in The Corona Times in a vaguely All Star shaped thematic arc

"It is not a lack of talent that holds us back, it's a lack of access."
Tbh I think that's one of the most important things for us to internalize, generally. I'm a teacher, so I think about it more in terms of general student potential. But we build so much of our society around "finding the very best, " when it should really be about "supporting as many as possible."

Hank: Don't get TikTok
On Screen: Like seriously, it's on twitter, don't get tiktok

[MostlyCharmlessProductions]

These are all the remaining lyrics from All Star they can use:
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't
She was
with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well,
and I hit the ground running
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
if you don't go
go play
Get the show on,
And all that glitters is gold
breaks the mold.
and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
The water's getting warm so
how 'bout yours?
That's the way
and I'll never get bored
Somebody once asked
Could I spare some change for gas?
I said, "Yep,

Hank Green, 2020: "I'm not saying that TikTok is the Renaissance..."

I can’t wait to see what happens after we finish smash mouth

[Maria-cfeg]

Hi Hank I just wanted to let you know that after my friend and I both finished reading ABFE, we talked on the phone for over two hours about it. Yes about the book itself and how fantastic it is, but we talked much more about its ideas and implications, about humanity and people and complexity and addiction and purpose and desire and the internet, and about how the circumstances in the book apply to the past and the future. We’ve both been nerdfighters for a long time so we also talked a lot about how a lot of what’s in the book reflects you and John and your journeys and things you’ve talked about before. Just wanted to let you know ABFE’s making an impact and thanks so much for being awesome :)

“It is not a lack of talent that hold us back, it’s a lack of access.” Especially applies to the lack of access to internet in lower income communities.

[jaytappen]

"deep societal implications that are really worth examining" sounds like a great hankschannel video.

Or a book...

Love that y’all are still going strong with the lyrics

[Naiyelli]

I was actually really considering downloading TikTok to follow Hank. I feel a sense of relief having him tell me not to do it and knowing I can watch on Twitter.

[MarcosProjects]

I love how this is likely born from looking at the lyrics of "All Star" and trying to come up with a think piece based on each phrase, but it's still so topical and good. Constraint is the mother of creativity

Hank Green is the Machiavelli of Missoula Montana

[llamalacey]

I remember being 5 or 6 in a public library in my hometown and coming to the realization that I would never be able to read all of the books. I also remember it upsetting me deeply at the time because, like, what if I never got to read the greatest book in the world?

[emogal]

I am guaranteed to get this song stuck in my head at least twice a week at this point. I love it

[Valente_vidal]

what implications, WHAT IMPLICATIONS !?!?
