My channel exists to share these ideas and theories that interest me. I use this channel to alleviate boredom and occasionally heighten my thought processes.
I spend a lot of time surfing online, but there’s also a lot more to it.
I’ve been working on a video format to document the logic and my reasoning when trying to deconstruct complicated subjects.
This is why I am trying to use high quality visuals and meaningful stories. I am also learning video editing along the way.

Just cus you're thin and young, doesn;t mean you can skip on a good diet. Fibre, Protien, Fibre, Fibre! Cut the sugary cereal too, have fish/omega 3
Seems like a projection. I find a lot of joy in calling people idiots online, on the flip side there’s so much knowledge at my fingertips. Reading is reading wether it’s a paper page or a glowing screen, so many books fit into this tiny screen. I think people just don’t realize what they have or they need a new thought process. I’m aware of how algorithms work, my algorithm shows me things I’m interested in, sometimes it shows me someone’s dumb takes which I’ll laugh at
Everyone in the comments including me unfortunately thinks that just because they have these traits means there intelligent but I got some bad news for you're most likely just an average person
**Me seeing him list all of the thinhs that keep me from having an autistic meltdown as bad** this isn't a one size fits all, give yourself time, it's ok to fail, time spent having fun isn't wasted
