“Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so.” Noam Chomsky

[@davidsirmons]

@Underwater Laser I understand this observation's intent. Still, one has to qualify what is meant by "better". Remember that Hitler was doing what he himself thought was "better" for Germany, which had a 95 percent participation rate in their Nazi Party. The same with Lenin, who starved 6 million Ukrainians to death. Same with Stalin, who murdered over 60 million of his fellow countrymen. Same with Mao, the evil leader of China, who slaughtered over 100 million of HIS own countrymen, all under the banner of marxism/socialism/communism. So one has to instead observe what is the nature of what someone wishes to bring into existence, and its effects, rather than simply allowing the idea of "working toward what's better". The very worst nightmares of the 20th century, amassing over 185 million corpses, were all begun under the nebulous idea of "making the world better".

Since some people had rough year in 2019 i want to recap what a huge change i made. I went from really unhappy in 2018 to not having a single bad day, not even more than half an hour in 2019. I stopped reading the news, started working out and especially i was nice to everyone. In the beginning it was hard to stay positive all the time, but once you master it every person around me was friendlier and i became happy. I sounds cheesy, but seed love in the world and you will harvest even more love. Peace my friend :)

If you're kind, you will be taken advantage of. Some people just don't have that capacity, and it doesn't matter how friendly you are to them, you will find yourself getting taken, and left high and dry when the shoe is on the other foot and you falter only slightly.

Only government subsidies make it cheaper to pump from the ground. The only reason you dont hear about it is government suppression since it emerged, and the threat it presents to the oil industry.

And the process is carbon negative so long as you are producing and sequestering more than you burn.

Joe does go private. But not for $5. He is classy. And also only to give advice. “Or *IS* it?”

[@khloerabnta4995]

Tara M you tell US? Lol jkjk but this was a funny comment

[@cschleiger1991]

Blahhhhhhhh

[@joescott]

Done.

[@jeremiahbigfrog4210]

Awe Joe. Got me to mist a bit a the end. I only recently started supporting you because I honestly did not respect KZbin to have information on the type of subjects I was earnestly seeking helpful explanations of. l only found your channel at the beginning of the year. It was your double slit experiment video that hooked me. I had an understanding of what the answer might already be and your explanation cut through a lot of painful overthinking and helped me to confirm some truths that I was looking for. Thank you sir. My favorite video after that is your perfect old fashion video. And that is why humans are AMAZING. Thanks for the hard work and don't forget the chair spinning thing. The audience needs that stuff to connect or disconnect from the hard subjects your continue to cover.

[@marksmith7582]

Congratulations on your happiness and thanks for sharing it with us. This was nice and needed thank you, again.

I’ve been off social media for years and that wasn’t good enough to put me in a good mental state. I realized I also had to stop reading the news which I stopped reading in September.

[@corneliuscorcoran9900]

I agree, but probably good to read a news summary from two opposite media sources about once a month.

[@aurelias9539]

ScienceGuy me also but oddly o still knew what was going on I don't have a social group I don't work I'm almost housebound but I got a sort of RSS feed to my Brain of major news it finds you

@@corneliuscorcoran9900 Best to read news about a country you've never heard of

[@aaronmalay5497]

I agree, social media is poison. That said, to expand on @Rod Schmidt and @Cornelius Corcoran : find a news outlet from a foreign nation whose perspective you respect. Read how they comment on your nation's current events. It filters well for intra-cultural biases.

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

Escapism? Not good, especially for a Science Guy. What happens in the country and in the world affects science, and ultimately your life. You must know from where the blows are coming, and if you value anything besides of yourself (children, ecology, culture, justice), you need to know what's happening so you can put your effort into it. At least, to vote for the greater good. Or the lesser evil.

35 years ago my friends mom asked me why I don't do any homework... My answer was always, "for what, that non existent future?"... Well... was I wrong... !!

When I was in high school my dad started asking me how my astronomy classes were going. I was confused by the question, but my grades were not that great, so in order to avoid the topic, I would just say that they were fine. Then one day, after he asked me how my astronomy classes were going for the 6th or 7th time, I decided to ask him what he was talking about. He said, "Well, your teachers keep calling me to say that you are taking up space in school." ;-) hehehe

[@Noctua07]

You know...? You can actually read your sentence in two different meanings ^^ :)

[@mattiefee]

I'm glad you're my internet neighbor!

[@ScottStronghill]

Joe - this will be the year you reach 1M subscribers. I love the way you analyze all sides of a topic and your generally positive attitude and humour (CDN). Keep up the great work. I look forward to it.

[@An0nymousMessages]

I've only recently been watching your channel. What you said about the trinity of good guy's happened to include my favorite people in life next to William Marshall really affirmed to me that I'm not far off course in what I believe is important in life. Thank you.

[@kommandantgalileo]

Man this video is what we all thought would happen, oh how naive we were.

[@fmj_556]

Staying away from social media makes me happy.

[@aaronedvalson104]

What a wholesome way to end the year :D Love your content Joe, and your personality and presentation. One of my top fav creators for sure. P.S. I prefer the quirkiness this channel provides and I hope you continue to do such quirky things.

[@negyt7665]

We love you too, Joe. I've learned so many awesome things from you in the last year or so since I started following your channel. Thank you for what you do, Joe. I hope your 2020 kicks so much ass.

[@TheGavric]

I wish I could see great hope in what you discuss in this video. I was looking forward to watching it. It's a good video, and the things you bring up are good. It's not enough. It doesn't outweigh the previous video. I was hoping...

[@axnyslie]

If you could choose any time in history to live, you would still choose now.

[@KarryKarryKarry]

For sure.. if choosing the future is off the table.

Nope slightly before now then I could place money on Trump & Johnson being in power. Oh the bookies face if I did it early enough!

Can’t wait to learn more about carbon capture technology! Thanks for running such a great channel, looking forward to much more in the new decade!

The greatest 2 things the USA have contributed to the world is space exploration and jazz. Glad to hear space is back.

[@icecoldchilipreppers]

I thought it was fast food and single use coffee cups.

Black people made jazz not "the USA" and the ussr beat the usa to space

Joe, you've earned every bit of your support. Here's to a prosperous 2020

[@Mike504]

Joe. I found your channel this year, and I have to say I have enjoyed every video you put out. I love you too.

[@MrOtistetrax]

If there’s anything that gives *me* hope for the future, it’s you, Joe. Here’s a Texas-sized New Year’s hug.

[@simplyhuman3982]

As in someone with an open mind? I agree. Even he knows he doesn't know everything. Such logic with that one.

[@josh.fornite2082]

Your vids make an idiot like me feel informed and prepared for the future.

[@spacechimp5141]

My best friend's brother just past away from cancer a few days ago after months of fighting for his life. To think that cancer could be no big deal in the future is unbelievable.
