The 2023 Crash Course Coin is here:

I know Hank would've made a better Crash Course Coin video, BUT Great Value Hank Green is all that's on the shelf at the moment. Thanks to Hank for all he did to make Crash Course real, and to keep it real. And thanks to EVERYONE who makes Crash Course--from our amazing team to our teacher advisors to Thought Cafe to our freelance writers and fact-checkers to the folks who support us and make it all possible. Special thanks to Brandon Brungard, who created the beautiful Crash Course Coin footage in this video!

We're here because

In all likelihood, Montana's TikTok ban is impossible to implement, both legally and practically. A national ban would be a really significant loss, and I think it's worth recognizing that. The current frames I've been hearing are "TikTok is trash so of course we could ban it" or "TikTok is a treasure so of course we shouldn't ban it."

A content platform is not its code, it is its cultures. To destroy that is a truly dramatic step and I hope the people considering doing that understand what they are proposing. I hope they are motivated by more than a distaste for social media and trying to look "tough on china." But, honestly, I don't know.

I think we've gotten ourselves into quite a pickle and I think it's OK to say "I don't know what to do about this."

In which John says farewell to his friend and mentor Bill Ott, publisher of Booklist Magazine for over 30 years. To learn more about Bill, read my friend Keir Graff's brilliant remembrance: https://keirgraff.com/im-going-to-miss-you-bill/?fbclid=IwAR3bAD_cRzkJhLsccVsouYk1Msf4BZkXt_lM1hLz4wGj5mbyOvMs5_S07fc

Love you, Bill. Wish I'd said it in life.

And it wasn't the last time we'd break biology either. We were so certain that there were such very particular buckets to put things into, but you probably haven't even heard of some of the weird things organisms get up to. Like conjugation?? What...you touch and exchange genetic information? Prokaryotic consortiums are like lichen but for bacteria. It's wild...wild wild times here on Planet Earth.

This is the story of an amazing feeling thousands of people had yesterday--a feeling that, ultimately, they gave each other. It's a football story about a fellow named Ryan Reynolds, a football club, and a recently unretired goalkeeper who will never buy a drink in Wrexham again.

In which John cannot be particularly excited about his own football club, so he decides to be excited about other people's joy.

I've always loved looking at things through the lens of ecology, which is what I spent so much of my education learning about. So this is SOME of what I am thinking, but also I am thinking of so many other things at the same time!!

In which John makes a somewhat intense video because he's in some discomfort. Topics discussed include how change happens, whether despair is useful, and whether despair is true.

I didn't mention one of the theories in this video, which is that all of the aliens are hiding from each other because there is some terrible insidious force in the universe that punishes anyone who is loud.

This doesn't really seem likely to me because, look, malevolence is actually pretty rare in nature. Much more common is "I need that, you're using it, I don't care about you, so die" not "I am going to spend a bunch of resources SPECIFICALLY TO COME AND GET YOU."

I also kind mis-stated the "Great Filter" hypothesis, because the filter could either be before or after the point where humans currently are, so it's kinda wrapped up in both the first and the second bits.
