I've followed the Green brothers for a long time. Some genuinely interesting things from John over the years.
I tuned Hank out tbh. Writing books about social media while being so ridiculously out of touch with it, and maintaining an arrogance above and beyond just rankled me.
The EA stuff, and the AI stuff isn't actually surprising. Netfighteria has never been strong on skeptisism, although better on human centering at least.

John Green fortalte i ein video i dag at han skal vere i Noreg under delar av fotball-VM. FORHOLD DEG ROLEG OG #DFTBA, Andreas. Ro ned, det er ikkje slik at fyren du har fulgt på internett i snart to tiår og lest mesteparten av bøkene til, lært sjukt mykje av, sånn mest sannsynleg kjem til å vere ein fjord bortanfor deg eller noko slikt. Puh. Kremt.

- John Green -
“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
- John Green, The Fault in Our Stars -
“What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?”
— John Green, An Abundance of Katherines -
There are four fundamental types of people:
- This who have never heard of John or Hank Green.
- Those who were aware of John Green first.
- Those who were aware of Hank Green first.
- Those who were aware of both simultaneously (dftba!)

Want some truly awesome news? The Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone opened last week! This is going to be a huge deal for the families in that country.
They had 13 deliveries and admitted 27 patients on the first day.
