This one's different

Computer Engineering is a good choice too.

Matthew Caron

Thanks Destin, great video. I've watched you for years and I bet there's some things we'd disagree on, but I bet we'd have a blast together and could figure out how to make things better in our country and world. This is a message people need to hear. Keep on keepin' on.

Agreed with Nick, your camera had some issues with backgrounds

Corey

Oh gosh, I love the video but what the heck is going on with your camera? In all of your home office shots, the background is rapidly going in and out of focus. Am I the only one who sees this?

The Trumps keep trying to kill me so I'm out.

Thank you for this video. I appreciate the commentary about working together. I sincerely feel the biggest problem in this country (USA) is tribalism. Most of the problems we have are either caused by it or aren’t fixed because of it. We need fewer people yelling about why others are wrong, and more people willing to set aside differences and work with those who have different beliefs than them. There are issues I feel very strongly about, but I always strive to understand the motivation of those that disagree with me, and their desire to make the world better. You’re a hard worker. Recording until almost three in the morning? As a computer programmer myself, I’m also excited for the coding initiative. A friend of my brother introduced me to programming when I was 12, and I am so grateful he did. Even those who aren’t going to work in the tech industry or as a programmer can benefit from computer science. Computers will continue to be more prevalent in our lives, and a sound understanding of how they work and how to control them will be invaluable to people in almost all walks of life. Thanks again for this video. This is something I’m glad to support.

Hi Destin, thank you. This provides a better sense of what can happen in your country for me here in Australia. With the current divide in the US, I'm thrilled for this initiative. Jokingly, is your choice of shirt / cap colour a subliminal message? Ha ha. Cheers

Holy smokes! You actually featured public figures that polarizes most of Americans and created a call to action to further better our society. How is this possible?! We need more Smarter Every Day than sensationalist media (to no fault of their own... they make mad $ off of division and fighting). 😮 RIGHT ON, DUDE! 😎🔥👍🏻

Loved it Destin! Thank you for what you do.

More slowmo coming soon!

Smarter Every Day

Do you know if any of the money will also go to help students with disabilities? Just wondering. Thanks.

Thanks for the video Destin, I agree: people are much more complicated than "right" and "left" and whether we disagree with specific viewpoints, let's all at least respect one another!

Logan West

There’s nothing but a chock full of inspiration in this important message. Exactly what our echo-chamber centric society needs to hear. A bright future awaits us all.

David Cichowski

Interesting. Not a fan of this one, but keep up the good work and keep making videos that you are passionate about!

Jeff Dzado

Destin, keep doing what you're doing! All of it. I am a volunteer Educational Counsellor doing admission interviews for MIT. Every time I interact with these high school seniors, it is uplifting and reminds me of the potential for good we have in our country and the world. Thank you for being on the side of positive progress.

Don't abandon blowing things up in slow motion :), but some of your best posts have been on finding ways to work together. Praying that you and your family are well!

This is awesome Destin! Being a software engineer and a teacher, I too strongly believe that it will be this generation that will be coding modules and programs for our trip to Mars! I often tell my students that programming has become a fundamental skill to learn just as cycling, swimming etc. Brilliantly edited video and loved your thoughts about the future where people listen to each other despite a few differences! The world is getting smarter and better everyday! Cheers, Vidu P.S. Love what you're doing but please do get some sleep as your eyes look swollen/tired and it's almost 2 in the night! :P :D

Thanks Destin. The message here is a great one: Just because you disagree with someone, politically or otherwise, doesn't mean you can't work together! Thanks for using your position to decrease worldsuck.
