Today's wildfires burn, on average, twice the amount of land they did in 1970. The reason? We've been working too hard to put them out. 

A big thanks to Harry's for choosing to sponsor science content and allowing me to make a donation to Tasmanian Devil DFTD vaccine research. Consider picking up an awesome Razor. Several of my friends have asked me if it was worth it, and I said yes. Every single one came back to me and agreed after the fact. http://www.harrys.com/  Promo code: SMARTER

Consider donating to research that could save the Tasmanian Devil.

Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.

The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO!

If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here:

A video from the freshly released Cosmos album!

These were a couple of favorite verses I'd ever done even as I was writing it. I started the beat almost two years ago, while I was volunteering in Hawaii and getting into steel drum music. (Fun fact: The steel drum sample is from a high school band covering Jason Mraz.)

I filmed the video in Los Angeles at this wild photographer street crawl that some friends invited me to. But Some of the overlay effects are actually from footage of a side view mirror while driving around Spain, as well as lights from the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for supporting!

Mathematically impossible, in fact!
