“Panicking won’t help solve anything”
He says in a panicked tone
This pretty accurately sums up my entire life
This made me laugh HARD
this dumb-ledor meme
Right?
Pretty much how I say that exact phrase. It's like telling yourself that the ground isn't going to come up and attack you just because you looked down. You still sound afraid of heights when you say that.
So, this is what Hank is like when he’s on a deadline.
No, you'll know Hank's approaching a deadline when he suddenly has ten new business ideas he's already starting on.
@@MarkThePage I mean, that joke would work if Hank wasn't literally on a deadline as he tweeted
Oh! Then any minute now Hank's going to announce he's written 3 more novels that have nothing to do with AART, and also we're doing a pre-P4A this year.
nice profile picture .
Hank doesn't wait for deadlines.
Deadlines wait for Hank.
“Done is better than perfect” - what I have to remind myself of every time
well, i'd say perfect is best but done is better than not done.
Elise Code Perfect is kind of an unrealistic goal though, isn’t it?
@@keeshiacheok5045 Yes, but done badly is sometimes worse than not done at all, so not better than the unrealistic perfect either. What's better than just done is done well, and that's not unrealistic.
A related saying that I like is "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."
I like "Don't let better be the enemy of good enough"
"Find your shakey."
Hank Green.
Gonna need that embroidered on a pillow.
I'm gonna need this in t-shirt form please and thank you!
Just made it my main goal this weekend.
Hank "Shakey" Green they call him
Yes! Make it into merch!

If you can't jog 5 miles a day, half a mile every few days is still better than not jogging at all.
It sounds like Hank is going through a crisis a about how many crisis we have in the world
Crisis on Infinite Hanks
@BrookePage-- Aren't we all? Or does one have to be middle aged (or better) to see it?
BrookePage Honestly, same. 😭
Crisis all the way down.
No? Ok I'll laugh anyway
A metacrisis
Paraphrased: "maybe the real solution was the shakey shakeys we had on the way"
Kim Idol that needs to be created into some sort of merch!
The solution was inside all of us all along
"Just because we're not doing something perfect doesn't mean that we are not doing it " This is my motto from now

Fits really well with John's "Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly"
Like, it's not the same but the spirit is there
Can i get a. Hell ya
Hank: Crisis.
Me, before even watching the video: Same.
Existential crisis? ALWAYS

As Agents of Shields says "The steps you do don't have to be big, they just have to be in the right direction."
@Weirdo Hear hear!

Crisis burnout leads to apathy. There has to be an in between feeling. Maybe focus? Baby steps to the future will get us there but it’s hard to take them when you’ve burned out and don’t want to move. So many crises you feel that you have no power to do anything about. Focus on one and as the great Burl Ives sang, “put one foot in front of the other.”
There's no time for baby steps.
Maybe, but baby steps are better than standing still.
I love that song
@@starlinguk The problem with that thinking is that it paralyzes and then nothing happens. Generally, taking the baby steps starts the process forward and once momentum happens, big leaps become possible.
I've missed Dancing Hank.
RIGHT???
Shakey Hank
We all did.

As a Latina I was very satisfied
So I just glanced at the title and thought it said “Crisps,” so I clicked on it thinking it was going to be about the difference between American and British chips, and now I kinda wanna see that video lol. This one was good too though.
That sounds like something Lost in the Pond would do. He's got a bunch of comparison between brit and american stuff vids.
Mmmm now I want crisps.

I mean... It is though. Like, I could eat them one by one, but two or three or four or seven at a time means more of my tongue and mouth experiences more of the sensations for longer, even if shorter than if eaten individually and cherished for a long time.
But like, I would rather eat three or four together at a time than one or two at a time. I get more enjoyment I feel out of that, as otherwise it is a very small morsel and gone too soon.
That's where you're wrong kiddo.

"How do you find the space between panic and complacency?"
Aristotle: Ah, so you seek Virtue, Hank.
"We make the path by walking it."
-Paul Gaffney
I also struggle to find the place between panic and complacency. Especially with this huge problems I have no idea how we will solve. This video makes me feel seen and reminds me to just keep taking steps.
I've dealt with this in life, and made a phrase, that I've been using for a few years now.
"Freaking out only gets you freaked out."
❤️
1:53, having experienced years of John's books bleeding into his videos, it's a LOT of fun seeing Hank's books bleed into his videos now >D.
"We never know how to solve the problem. We just, thus far, just work a lot as individuals. As a collective. And then we get there. So far."
........'so far', ah, there's the rub.
"(panic as an emotion) is not the most helpful one!!" -says Hank as he is violently shaking his beautiful brown hair
I laughed at the "beautiful brown hair" then I had to scroll up to check hahahaha
1:27 is the time stamp if someone’s looking for it :)

I find solace in watching YOU dance to shakey shakey.... That was great, more of that please
Edit: THANK YOU for putting more of that at the end, that's exactly what I wanted hahaha

People dont usually panic forever... so if we could get everybody to panic just a tiny bit, we would probably start running in the right direction.
Not panicking forever is necessary for survival, which is a primal tendency of organisms (at least), generally.Panicking forever, even if just a little, will turn our lives into a game-like thing...and LIVES WON'T BE LIVES;yes, people need to move in the Right Direction(s) more , but panicking is not the only way ✌🏼
P.S. : I think your point has a good intent, but a dangerous intention
I very much appreciate Hank's calming assurance that over time we can find ways to solve the problems that seem impossible to solve. I get very overwhelmed by the enormity of the crises, so having a rational person say "Hold on, we can work towards fixing things" makes me take a breath and center myself. Thanks for that.
Meanwhile in Microcosmos: Hello, my beauitiful listeners, lets just calmly watch some single cell organisms gracefully moving in an enchanting dance. Ye~s...
Honoured that you titled the video after me, Hank!
Very funny, Tiffany. Awesome glasses by the way 🤘

" Here's my middle aged man take"
- Hank Green, still somehow looking like he's in his 20s to me
I think this is a good take and an important one. We've entered into this age where everybody feels an immense amount of personal responsibility for the future of the climate, which just can't be healthy on a global level. And humans have found ways to solve problems in the past and I feel confident that we will find a solution to this very real problem.
That being said, I think a lot of the anxiety around the climate debate, at least for me, is not surrounding what the solutions will be. Because, quite frankly, the solutions are not that hard. The anxiety is that for humans to embrace those solutions, it will require many people to die or go through hardship first.
We will only tackle climate unless a) we usher in a revolution in thought within the next few years. Possible, not probable. Or b) climate change eventually starts biting in to the bottom lines of corporations or threatening the lifestyle of the rich and elite. Once that happens, you'll see changes really start to happen. But that might not happen for another 20-40 years. And in the meantime, much more disadvantaged groups of people will be displaced, wars will be started over scarce resources, entire communities will be washed away by rising tides.
That's the anxiety I have, as a middle-class white man living in America. Because I honestly don't know if climate change will really effect me personally, in ways that will force me to change my lifestyle. But I know that others will have to bear that burden, in part because of my current lifestyle. And that's an anxiety that is really hard to shake.
That's incredibly honest.
Dancing Hank is both disturbing and amazing simultaneously

"find your shaky shaky" - William Henry "Hank" Green, 2019
you don't really need to tell me though. I've got the avoidance part down to a tee.
It's so refreshing to get a video from you where you're a mess like this. I'm a mess all the time and it's isolating and makes you feel weird and defective when you have to look at people who are successfully putting forth a facade of being fine. Seeing you doing poorly makes me feel so much less alone.
I'm sorry you've been having a rough time lately. I hope things get better for everyone. I hope I don't get left behind when it happens.
Oh dear, Hank. Wait to panic!
"Connect with yourself as a living sack of flesh." --Hank Green 2019 building sentences that the world has never seen before.
And I am here for it! :)
I can't tell you how absurdly disappointed I am that he didn't say "meatbag"
What's mind blowing is that the vast majority of sentences uttered (or written) are novel. (Hank's just happen to be particularly cool sometimes!)
YES THANKYOU!! I'll be the first to admit that we're not doing enough for the climate but I am soooooo tired of people saying were doing nothing, that could not be further from the truth.
I bet Hank felt some sort of psychological comfort after letting his thoughts out particularly in this video.
After that Shakey-Shakey, he surely must've placated and/or elevated most of the audience ALONG WITH HIMSELF
#Find_Your_Shakey_Shakey
Holy crap man this resonates so much. I started a channel around helping people understand that "you don't need to be a hero to save the planet" and you just perfectly articulated a bunch of fears I feel around our environmental issues. Thanks, I'm off to a rally now.
2 old style Vlogbrothers Fridays in a row?! This fills me with such immeasurable joy
"A place between crisis and complacency." Wow.
Also, where I can find graphs for American CO2 levels being below 1995 levels?? That's awesome!
Emissions, not levels. CO2 concentration has gone up about 14% since 1995, according to climate.gov
Somebody: "I lost 3 pounds this month, haven't done that since January!"
@@jchampagne2 : "Yeah, but you're still 14% fatter than you were in January"
@@GameOn0827 more like "I've gained three pounds less this month than I usually do in a month", but since people don't usually regularly gain significant amounts of weight each month, the analogy might not be perfect...
But America has exported most of it's greenhouse emissions to other countries. So instead of manufacturing stuff in their country they export the greenhouse intensive part to foreign developing countries (China and India) and then import the finished products. The Eu also follows this model and then they shake their fingers at them for burning so much greenhouse gases. China has learned these lessons too and is exporting their greenhouse gas emissions to africa while rapidly building up their solar capacity.
i've had such anxiety these past couple of years, and seriously the only relief or perspective change that has helped has come from you.. numerous times. please don't stop. for the first time in so long i feel like my kids have a chance. i've watched you guys from the start, i'm so happy you've never left us. i know the day will come, but i need you right now. but really i just want to say thank you.
Watching this during the middle of COVID like ". . . you're right hank, we weren't expecting this future. . . "
"Extenencial crisis? Always!!!" I can relate Hank. I can relate.
Hey Hank, I’m having a crisis about leaving for Uni today, thank you for always saying what I didn’t know I needed to hear. DFTBA
John’s “I believe hope is the answer, not despair,” matters so much to me and rings so true that I have it posted on the back of my dorm-room front door. Hope is the answer, not despair. I just know it’s true.
May I add a cautionary "but hope is not a strategy" reminder?
Four or five months after Hank makes a video about crisis, a new major crisis shows up
Thank you for this video! It's so hard to find that middle between crisis and complacency.
Goota be one of my favorites videos from them, sooooo needed it now
Thank you, Hank! You can't imagine how much better I felt by the end of this video, just from seeing a bit of optimism in connection to all those crises for once
Beautiful video. It's been a struggle for me to find a balance between apathy and panic. To see it put into words as well as explaining problem solving in the past helps.
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Well, yeah, actually, everyone does. It's probably not productive to worry about it most of the time. Let's try to save the climate.
The "climate" is not sentient and not animate, it's simply a state of being. We're not "helping" or "saving" the climate, we're saving OURSELVES.
hentropy
thank you !!
@@loonachan If a fragile antique vase is falling and you catch it, you would call that saving it. Just because something isn't alive doesn't mean protecting it from damage isn't saving it.
@@pendlera2959 The vase's value is only defined by you. You decide why the vase is useful or pleasing, you and other people decide its value, you decide when it's broken or whole. The vase itself has no opinion on the issue. The earth is actually a similar way, we want the Earth to remain the way it is without changing too much because if it changes too much too quickly it can cause massive problems for us. When the sun blows up and the vase is broken so to speak, the rock we float on will continue to not care, the matter might be vaporized and returned to the universe in a different form. There is nothing wrong in admitting that our love for the "environment" or the "climate" or "the earth" is just an expression of our more collective selfish desire to remain on the planet for as long as possible.
"First find your shaky shaky"
- *Hank Green* 2019
I’m not usually a hank video person but this PRECISELY what I needed and exactly what I’ve been feeling for the past months. THANK YOU.
Thank you so much for this Hank. I watched this while trying to come down from an anxiety attack, and it really REALLY helped.
The first seconds are me right now...
I think Hank is having a crisis 😶😂
Thank you Hank I needed this. On a very personal level it's a constant cycle of trying something, seeing how little difference it makes compared to something else that happened somewhere else, wondering what the point was in trying, then trying again because there is nothing else I can do but keep on trying.
Your perspective about these crises has helped ground me when it is so easy to feel terrified and overwhelmed by all of the fear mongering and end-is-nigh messaging. Thank you.
TH-cam just reminded me of this today, 19 July 2021. And I have one thing to say.
Haaaaaaaaaaah... CRISIS!
Dear 2019 Hank: You should probably know that it won't get any better.
I live in a constant state of crisis lately and it is just too much!
This is so comforting. Thank you. This week's level of surreal was hard to process.
this vlog brothers video is my caffeine this morning! Thank you Hank!
Exactly the advice i needed. I need to find my shakey. Thanks Hank.
* leaves on a quest to find her shakey *
Why was my first thought also banana
Because bananas are the singlest most sold item (by quantity estimated from bananas per lb sold) EVERY SINGLE DAY by overwhelming margins at almost any big box store that sells bananas.
They may not produce a huge profit margin, but they are overwhelmingly what people are thinking of when they come to such a store; so logically people must be thinking bananas quite often.

@@memereview9803 it's bananas, i know.
Thank you so much for this video! I dont ever comment on TH-cam usually but I really needed to hear this, and I am very glad your channel exists.
I'm currently applying to med school and feeling every bit "in crisis" over my seemingly inadequate application and the steps I will need to take in the face of a dismal 3% acceptance rate in my province in Canada. This video is helping me get over that initial paralysis of the unknown and focus on one step at a time. Thank you, Hank. I'll remember your words.
Whenever there’s a crisis I take out Crisis on Infinite Earths and read it.
"had too many VBs"
Hank really has been learning about Australia.
“Just because we aren’t doing something perfect doesn’t mean we aren’t doing it.” Perfect sentence for our times.
As someone who’s been sick 18 years, no cure available, explored all current treatment options, it’s good to keep this in mind. It’s really really hard for time to go by and to be stuck. But just because I have been doesn’t mean I will be always.
He sounds like a very confused psychotherapist.
Or me when I'm trying to tell other people what psychotherapy sounds like
Hank, thank you for inspiring us all to find our Shakey Shakey.
“We won’t know how to solve the problem until we’ve solved the problem.” 🤯
I deal with this a lot in my job. It helps to have skills - it helps to be able to say, “This is a solvable problem” and feel like the avenues you are exploring have the potential to yield fruit - but the point stands. I’ve also had problems I had no idea how to solve and couldn’t see a way through...but eventually I cane out the other side.
I recently subscribed to Vlogbrothers after watching other stuff from you guys for a while and tbh this is one of the best channels on TH-cam. I feel like I come away from each video with a new insight that makes my life better.
“seventeen peanut m&m’s at a time is not fun!”
me: are you sure
I am definitely panicking.....mostly about climate change
Go vegan! It’s the single greatest way you can decrease your footprint. And that’s been backed up by the UN. I’m not just some random vegan pushing it to everyone.
@@andrewchapman3656 no, I agree! I'm vegetarian, mostly for the same reasons, but I haven't quite been able to make the change to being vegan. It's a step though!
Join an activist group like Extinction Rebellion (rebellion.earth). Do nonviolent direct action. Making lifestyle changes is good, but it’s a drop in the bucket. Voting and signing petitions is good, but politicians are corrupt and the changes proposed won’t get us to zero emissions in 10 years. We have to take our planet back if we want our species to not go extinct.
Well the best thing to do is not have kids, or pets or well exist, but lm not recommending any of those options, just they would be better than simply changing your diet.
More importantly though, stop panicking, even with the worst reasonable projections predicted you won't experience much of an issue if you live in a first world country.
Many species will be at risk and many poor and low lying countries will suffer, but in countries like the USA, Australia, Canada and most of Europe there will be plenty of food and water. If you want something to be afraid of that will likely effect you directly it's the rise if robotics and artificial technology. Not the going to take over the world type stuff, just the going to take most of the jobs issue. In the future there won't be much work that an artificial system can't do better so we will need to refine what people are meant to do with their lives when there isn't any work for most of them to do.
On the bright side to that is that robotic systems and artificial intelligence may well help fix a lot of climate related issues, both in terms of emissions and building of infrastructure to protect people at risk of extreme weather events.
@@Jake12220 That's completely untrue. We are already seeing flooding, catastrophic fires, water contamination, failing crops, drought. We are already seeing climate refugees. Being rich, or living in North America or Europe will not save you from climate change. Anyone who thinks that is delusional or misinformed. We are in the middle of a mass extinction event, we are losing species over 1000x the background rate. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. And now that the amazon is on fire, we are looking at an even worse case scenario than our worst case scenarios were. We are looking at our species going extinct by ~2050-2080. Robotics won't even exist if we don't stop emissions in the next 10 years. We will reach a point of no return if we go beyond 1.5 celsius warming, we will see irreversible chain reactions. There will be no such thing as jobs, we will all be trying to survive. Society as we know it will collapse before we see any AI capable of "helping us". AI and machine learning is in its infancy. Sorry to burst your bubble but no magical AI is going to save us, we have to save ourselves, and we have to start now. The OP is right to panic. It's a perfectly normal reaction of self preservation, but we must use that panic productively. Nonviolent direct action will be the only way to force the hand of the powers that be in enough time.
I didnt know I needed a dancing Hank until today, this is the highlight of my day.
This is the only truly relatable thing I've seen in a little while. I feel it too. The panic is real, I don't want to give up but I don't want to get lost in it. aaaaaaahhhhhhh.
This video hits different during the coronavirus crisis
Muscle Hank’s having a muscle crisis
He's running low on protein powder. o.o
Wow I felt like I could take a deep breath for the first time in months watching this video, thanks Hank
I dont use Twitter but this week I stumbled on Hank's Twitter and all I can say is that it's fun to read his tweets and see him express the same feels in his video
I'm watching this video as I reflect on a movement lawyering course during the age of crisis...
You have a good point. Dont panic if you don't have a solution immediately.
But this does not apply to climate change. We have solutions. We're just not impementing them.
That ist what the protests are about.
Don't panic, do something about it.
This video had so much chaotic energy that I don't know if I should be awed or panicked. I appreciate that very specific hangover reference though.
I used to watch the vlogbrothers back when they were still Brotherhood 2.0, and I was a kid who just found solace in nerds being nerds. I stopped watching for years, only checking in occasionally to feel nostalgic about that earlier period of my life. But recently, I've really come back to the channel. I'm in college now and surrounded by anxiety, stress, competition, CRISIS. It's hard to be so in love with the world, and also see everything that's going wrong with it. I felt like a mother with a delinquent child, unable to control them, but worried sick. Anyway, this is all just to say that I've come back to the channel again and am so grateful that you have both remained so genuine, and sincerely just want to help people. I also appreciate how John and Hank express love in both liberal arts and scientific perspectives. I think that the duality we ascribe to those interest sets breaks down when you see the poetry in the "Journey to the Microcosms" and then the logic of literature. It's comforting to hear that people are all dealing with the same things, all loving in the same way. Maybe its true that we can't change all of the things that we wish we could. But we don't have to. As my favorite poet Mary Oliver said, "You do not have to be good" "You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves." Basically, thank you for loving what you love genuinely. Thank you for sharing that love with us. In a time rife with conflict, I think it's important to realize that all of that perceived conflict is really just stemming from the same fundamental love.
*spits out mouthfull of peanut m&m's *
I'd like a Crisis on Infinite Earths, please.
This is exactly the video I needed right now. Thank you for this.
This right here is the epitome of my near constant state of anxiety. It honks, and it honks a lot! 😖
But I am thankful for people like you, Hank, that remind me that I am most certainly not alone in this mess, and there are in fact people who think a lot like me and want to see their world(s) get better too.
And just because something is getting attention, it's not always a bad thing; attention can be a great driving force for change!
Thanks Hank.
I saw the title and thought it was something from within this year but no, these are just normal crisis, not a public health crisis. Oof.
Incredibly relevant and uplifting tho
If we knew how to solve problems before they happened.. that'd be called prevention. And we can only prevent something when we've already gone through it and found a solution.
That said, we could have prevented some stuff that are happening now because they had been predicted, but then again it's not super easy and some things can't be predicted or controlled. I think.
Thank you Hank, I needed this video right now. I've been overwhelmed by a project and need find my shaky shaky now.
"Just because we are not doing something perfect doesn't mean that we're not doing it."
I needed this. Thanks Hank. 😊😊
I feel like Hank talked about the banana crisis on scishow
Old news
Someday Orion is going to see this and be like "Dad is cool!"
Thank you for this, Hank. I'm looking forward to panicking over a cup of tea and your forthcoming book
As someone who’s constantly panicking this is a good summation of my brain. Taking one step is always better than taking no steps. And that humanity has always been taking steps for better or for worse we’ve always survived.
