    Hi! Every year, nerdfighters who can donate more than $500 to the Project for Awesome come together to form a matching fund so that donors during the p4a can see their impact doubled. If you're able to donate to the matching fund, please join us: projectforawesome.com/matching We can take tax-deductible donations by paypal, credit card, foundation grant, check, or more. Thanks. Can't wait for the p4a wonder beginning Feb. 17th at noon eastern. -John

      I donate $50 a month over the course a year. Is that $600 better when it’s allocated monthly or would a lump sum in the matching fund have more usefulness?

    • @cogspace
      @cogspace ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@wgeorgecook That's a great question. I imagine consistent income is quite useful, but also the matching fund boosts the momentum of an event which can get more donors on board to reach the higher target. I too currently donate monthly and would love to know how these two options compare. =)

      This all coming from the brother who once tried to hit Hank with a hammer, according to their mother.

    • @annakeet
      @annakeet ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@cogspace I think consistent income isn’t massively important for the P4A, because they not have overhead costs (no one that the FTDWS gets paid), and the payments to charities are made once a year. In previous years they cut off the amount ‘in the bank’ right before the P4A starts, and count that amount towards that years P4A, so it is a nice way to start the P4A. But as you said, the matching fund is always a great incentive for people to donate. Regardless, I’m sure the P4A appreciate whatever way you donate.

      @breakfastforpikachu2327 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      P4A money DOES NOT go to the Sierra Leone maternal healthcare project (at least not substantially/directly). You didn't specify what you were donating to each month, but if it's directly to the SL project then that would be a significant difference.

    The most important question in all of this is "How does Hank Green find the time to do all of this?" and the answer is like "Oh yeah I forgot to mention, Hank invented a machine that warps time but only localized to himself. This gives him days that are 32 hours long. He can spend 24 hours doing all of these projects and spend the remaining 8 hours on Tik Tok"

    • @MulberryDays
      @MulberryDays ปีที่แล้ว +96

      i forget when it was but Hank talked about this in a video years ago and it was really important for me realizing how we *don't* all have the same 24 hours in a day. like, Hank Green without a staff of assistants and managers *cannot* build or operate all these companies. having great ideas and lots of energy (what a privilege!) and an understanding of how to use that energy to make those ideas real *and* the resources (money) to do it *is still not enough.*
      so an awful lot of factors have to line up just right in order to facilitate this - there are very likely thousands of potential Hanks watching Hank every day, who will never get halfway to where he is. not because of time magic or intelligence or hard work, but just because luck.
      i'm forever grateful to Hank for helping me understand that.

    My kids have, for much of their lives, asked me how I know so much about so many things. I always just said I loved learning and that was an okay answer. Then one day one of them came to me all excited about some topic they had just learned about that they thought was really cool. I stopped them and said "That. Just do that for 40 years. That's how I came to know so much about so many things". I think they got it at that point. For the record, they're well on their way to being walking encyclopedias and have since learned a ton about so many things I don't know anything about and I can't wait to see what they do with it all.

Like, the way Hank says things like "I came on the pod today mostly because I really wanted to talk to my brother" and John says "I'm your biggest fan since you were born" is so kind and unashamedly proud and such a fantastic example of how siblinghood could look. If I have kids one day I will implement so much of John and Hank into their lives that they'll never be mean to each other!...

    The ending is so sweet. I was very close to my sister, and I bought a pair of those not-3-d glasses of Hank's because she actually couldn't see 3-D. If you've ever taken off the 3-D glasses during a movie, you know it's not a pleasant experience. The glasses opened up a whole new world for my sister, and it was wonderful to be able to take her to those type of movies again. She's been gone for several years now, and the glasses are something I will always appreciate for bringing back such a simple joy.

Take time to plan your P4A video if you're making one. Set your budget now/over the course of the next month so that when the time comes, you can donate responsibly! and if you have any major self care things that you need to do before the start of the p4a, make a list, break them into chunks, and get them done!

    I just remembered that I got the phrase "totes adorbs" from Hank and the staff who made Lizzie Diaries and use it regularly and get very confused when people don't know what it means.

    As someone who is colorblind and can't see blue, 3d movies do not work at all for me, so whenever my family went to see a 3d movie, i saw a lot of red outlines. Thank god Hank invented those 2d glasses because i don't have this problem anymore

    1:06 I will forever be grateful for Hank for having invented those! As an epileptic, for the past 12 years I've finally been able enjoy almost every 3D movie with my friends without having to fear a seizure after (or worse, *during* ) the film. This was especially valuable back when theatres here would always just offer a 3D version instead of a 2D one. All the best from Germany! ❤

    The world needs more of this. Two men just gloating about each other for no reason other than the fact that they love and think the other one is absolutely awesome. In fact this should become a TikTok challenge and call it the Hank and John challenge. We're men pick a friend or family member and they just make a TikTok just gluten about that person and how much they mean to him. For me, I would have to pick my friend Mario who just passed away this last Friday unexpectedly. He was fucking awesome. One of the sweetest most kindest most gentle and powerful people you would have ever met in your life. With most people you could say either they love them or hate them or they're somewhere in between and I honestly don't know a single person that didn't like him. Every person I ever introduced him to or that I know of that he met absolutely loved him immensely. This world is a much darker place without him. And I wish the entire world would have gotten known him and maybe just maybe we would all been a little bit happier. I know at least for me he made me want to be a better person so I can only imagine if their world had gotten to know him how much of the BS we're going through now would suddenly vanish. RIP Mario, you were one of the most badass motherfuckers I ever knew I am going to miss you immensely. Of my friend I will say this of all the souls I've ever encountered and all of my journeys, his was the most...human.

    I love my 2-D glasses! I'm a teacher facilitator for an educational summer program; we often take kids to venues like museums with 3D movies. They make me nauseated, but since leaving campers alone in the theater is frowned upon, 2D glasses save the day!

    John, thank you for your advice to "take it down a notch"! since watching that video, there's been a couple of time where someone has said something to me online which I would be inclined to start a petty internet argument over. your "take it down a notch" advice came back to me in those moments and stopped me from likely ruining my mood by participating in a dumb internet argument
