The number twelve comes from twelve phalanges when counting with your thumb.
How numbers are written also comes from that, just look at the number six.

Next, he'll be saying E.T. uses Pi because it's magical. Well, it is, and they probably do , but not the way he'll be using the word "magical," or for the reason E.T. does. Oh, dear, dear... 😳
I miss when internet was going to share information and educate everyone, now it's a mall where people gatekeep knowledge and sell it. With Brilliant, mathematics will stay hidden. And people will stay spirit science level stupid along with it. :(
144 isn't magic. It's gross.
love it...
Ok, I'm going to ask... What's 144? I've coded enough to know it's in the Fibonacci sequence for what that's worth. I googled it, some mumbo-jumbo about a spiritual number so vague as to be meaningless. But gross? I just don't understand the OP's comment.
@@tophat593 A "gross" is a dozen dozen. 12*12=144.
That's a mathematical dad joke. Must yoink.
@@tophat593 In English, a _gross_ is a dozen dozens. It is also contemporary slang for something disgusting. So the OP is a pun, or play on words.
This guy: "Numbers can be used for lots of things!"
Martymer: "Yes, that's the point. It's why we use them."
This guy: "Isn't that so WEIRD?????"
We call things that are covered in water 'wet'. Isn't it WEIRD?!?!??! how water makes things wet?!?!@?!?
Reversing causality and meaning is religious bread-and-butter. Like with the crocoduck; somehow the ancestor has to be descended from modern animals haphazardly smashed into a single abomination. It's brain sabotage meant to cause accidents, just like if you taught everybody a red stop light means 'Go'; they'd never be able to properly integrate into society.
Randall is a waste of a fantastic beard. He's like finding out that Santa is actually real, but only delivers bills and IOUs.
And he really does evoke Spirit Science for bizarre leaps in "logic" brought about by pure pareidolia.
He's clearly a magician from the College of Pareidolia and Apophenia, well on his way to Grand Master status.
@@Sage-ThymeI had never come across the word apophenia before now, so thank you for helping me learn something new.
@@KianaWolf You're welcome, I've only recently come across it myself, I thought it all came under the umbrella of pareidolia. It's always cool to share an awesome word.
Let's see if I understand this correctly.
He's surprised that doing maths with things that are all divisible by 12 all end up with numbers that are similar/same.
Shocking!
The only sacred numbers are 42 and 69.
69-42 is 27. Divide by 3 = 9!
27 divided by 3 is 9, not 9! ;)
this guy: wow, look everything in math works..
me: well, yeah, that's thew whole reason we created it in the first place.
RANDALL CARLSON! Omg the guy who thinks 'sacred numbers' are all over the pyramids (but only in units that he cherry picked)
As soon as I saw his fuzzy face on the thumbnail I knew this would be a good one
Remember Rev. Gene Scott? Another pyramid lunatic.
The fun thing about numerology is that, by using the right operations, you can turn any number into any.other number. You can connect literally every dot to ever exist.
Reminds me of that Schwarzenegger movie where he fought the devil.
"Numbers often appear backward and reversed in dreams. So 666 is 999, like 1999..." an actual fucking quote from the movie.
For anyone interested in some excellent take downs of Carlson's nonsense then check out the World of Antiquity channel by Ancient Historian Prof. Milano. He's committed to the scientific method and fighting the spread of misinformation in his Myths of Ancient History series. Plus, the history he covers is fascinating. Check it out if you like that sort of thing.
I watched that same video! Dr. Miano is great, and he also had a mathematician debunking Carlson.
And if you want to be depressed, read the comments where the Carlson fans refuse to even watch because they think a debate is the only real truth.
"When we keep using these few factors in different ways, we get similar results."
Mind blown.
You mean easily divisible even numbers have multiple practical uses!? Next thing I know, you'll tell me polygons of uniform shape are really good at stacking with themselves!
For land surveying I prefer grads (400 to the circle) or Mils (6400 to the circle).
The sexagesimal system may be related to a counting system of phalanges in 4 fingers in one hand; two hands 24. Or one hand for units and the other hand for multiples of 12.
Oh my, I remember being taught the thing about 9s in primary school as a way to remember the 9 times table, which shows how young I was at the time. We only went up to 9 * 12 of course at that age.

Flerfs have mentioned "trigonometrists" as if there's a profession that only deals with trigonometry :D For them some math concepts are so mysterious and big that they think it has to be a separate field of study, rather than a tiny point on the school's curriculum. Maybe it was some centuries ago where people who were good at visualizing or calculating certain things were the "experts" in those fields. Though flerfs generally seems to live in the distant past, sometimes.

Here's a radical numerical idea. Now about instead of 7 day weeks, we use 6 day weeks. Still have two days for the weekend, so this is essentially a pitch for the four day work week.
Now, 6 day weeks don't divide into 365 any better than 7 does, but it does conveniently divide into 360, so, effectively, instead of 52 weeks in a year, we can have 60 weeks with an almost week of 5 days left over. Now, we can take those 60 weeks and divide them up into 10 months of 6 weeks each, keeping lots of 6s and 0s for our math-challenged brains to wrap around.
So, by using 10 months of 36 days each, with one extra month which is really just a stubby week, doesn't that make a lot more sense?
I mean it's intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.
ROFL!
Here's my even more radical idea: 5 days week! Now it's fully divisible by 365.
@@hanifarroisimukhlis5989I'd settle for months having a uniform number of days, with one or two outliers. But no, half have 30, the other half 31, and Feb gets the literal short end of the stick for some arbitrary reason.
7 days in a week is based on the Lunar cycle. 7 days is a quarter moon. One year is 13 moons, so a year should be 13 months of 28 days each (plus one extra day for New Year's, plus leap days when necessary)
Dr. Miano just did a video debunking this guy's pseudo-history nonsense on the sacred geometry encoded at the pyramids of Giza. That was the first time I'd ever heard of this guy. He's like a smart version of Jordan but that's being very generous to both of them. 😂
World of Antiquity did a really good debunk of Randall's hidden significance of the geometry of the pyramid. Well worth watching. Luv and Hugs have a great Easter or what ever this weekend means for you

Yikes...
Marty has a unique talent for making me regret not taking math more seriously in high school and college
It's never too late.
Just because 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, 360º in a circle, 12 inches in a foot, etc etc are arbitrary doesn't mean they CAN'T be sacred.
After all...
ALL our gods are arbitrary.
Base 12 when dealing with circles is in no way arbitrary though, just gotta play around with a compass and straight edge for a bit and you'll know what I mean
The ones you appobt yourself to be the most so
@@gatergates8813 How exactly is it not arbitrary besides the point that martymer mentioned: that you have several whole number divisors? If you just repeat that you can construct so many "useful" things when you use 12 as a basis, yes, that was the point it was choosen. It's still an arbitrary choice and not somehow an objective fact about nature or math. Even our base 10 number system is an arbirary choice. Yes it's based on the 10 digits on our 2 hands, but that''s a choice that refers to humans in particular and not math as a whole. Base 10 is just what we're used to and mathematical coincidences that only exist in a particular base are arbitrary. For example prime numbers are prime regardless of the base they are expressed in. The number 19 in base 10 is 25 in base 7. It's still a prime number as it can not be divided by any other number beside one and itself. You might think that 25 in base 7 can clearly be divided by 5, but that's not the case. It's just your indoctrinated brain that thinks it can because you read 25 like a base 10 number. Try dividing by 5 using repeated subtraction:
25 - 5 = 20
20 - 5 = 12
12 - 5 = 4
So 5 only fits 3 times into 25 (base 7) and you get a remainder of 4. Well 19/5 in base 10 will also yield 3 remainder 4. So it's prime regardless of the base.
So people should stop trying to find patterns in numbers which are the result of arbitrary choices. There are some true constants in nature like PI, e, avogadro's constant and so on. They also can be expressed in different bases but their properties would remain the same. Mathematics and physics is more about the properties rather than fancy patterns in numbers given a particular number base. For example watch the video called "Prime Spirals" by the channel Numberphile. It's about certain quadratic equations which contain more than average prime numbers. When you draw the numbers as an Ulam sprial they show up as straight diagonal lines. However that's simply because of the quadratic nature of the spiral. So certain pattern can help us to find certain underlying properties, however those properties do not depend on those patterns. If you visualize them in a different way, those patterns wouldn't show up. In this particular case the fix property is the higher number of primes in certain equations. Again, those equations are independent from the used basis. Just like always in science you have to identify and isolate what factors actually contribute in order to see if they actually play a role or not.
@@gatergates8813 Also 12 is just convenient. It has lots of factors, which means common calculations result in conveniently rational fractions. You can divide it by 2, 3, 4 or 6 and still get round numbers. And as I type that, the video I am listening to reaches the point of explaining the same thing.
@@gatergates8813 Arbitrary and convenient are two different words, just because something is convenient doesn't make the choice any less arbitrary. The use of base 10 in SI is convenient but it is still basically arbitrary.
I cannot take mathematicians seriously since they refused to add the primest of all primes I found, the number Edgar (it's between 143 and 144 and can be divided by 7 with no reminder) to the set of natural numbers.
Half life 9 confirmed.
The reason the digital root of all the polygons will be 9 is because of the formula shown at 10:00. s = 180(n-2)°. Each time you go up an order of polygon, you're adding a number that also has a digital root of 9, so it won't change the digital root.
Somebody should show him other common numbers systems like binary, octal and hexadecimal, I bet his 9 doesn't show up the same in them.
11:31 This is brilliant. It describes so much more than just the scenario in question.
If you take the digits of 360 and add them together you get...

I knew something was amiss based on his clock at the upper left hand @1:41. The hour hand clearly shows that it is 6:30 while the minute hand shows that it is only 6: 07-ish.
Also sundials do not have numbers at both ends of their gnomons.
Actually, we did learn bases other than 10 in elementary school, including the whole 9 or base - 1 trick.
We had a contest for invented number systems.
I won with base -2. No one figured it out.
I don't think you can use -n as a base. You're simply using negative numbers in base n.
@@DavidSmith-vr1nbYou can use anything as a base.
@@DavidSmith-vr1nb No, obviously you can use negative numbers as a base, I did that in the third grade.
So let's use base -10.
Three hundred fifty base Ten is written as 450 base negative ten.
That is 4 x -10^2 + 5 x -10^1 + 0 x -10^0.
Whereas negative three hundred and fifty is written in base -10 as
1 x -10^3 + 7 x -10^2 + 5 x -10^1 + 0 x -10^0 or 1750.
@@DavidSmith-vr1nb In computing it's common to use two's complement binary - it's just like binary, except the most significant bit is negative. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, -128. It doesn't make much intuitive sense, but it simplifies the hardware design of arithmetic logic, which is very useful for making high-speed efficient computers.
The Age of Antiquity channel just released a Carlson "math" video. Here comes the Carlson fans claiming that you proved nothing until you debate him live.
Is that bad math, or is it just reading wooish meaning into patterns in numbers?
Cute how the guy choses the measuring systems he needs.
I wonder what weird and wild coincidences he would come up with if he tried none standard bases. Like Base Pi.
Base pi. Jesus... that sounds like a real time waster when your base is an infinite nonrepeating complex number.
Q: What's 2+2 in base pi?
A: "How much time you got?"
as far as I understood what a fellow teacher of mine from iran told me.... they count with their fingers differently than we... we use on finger for one figure.... 1..2...3... so we end up with 10 for both hands....they count with the thumb of their one hand and touch with the tip of the thumb each joint of the other four fingers... three for each.. so they can count to twelve on one hand... if they did so.. the mark one full count of twelve with one finger on the other hand.. and start again.. thereby being able to count to 60 with both hands...
concerning 360° for full circle.. he told me that the easiest regular form is a triangle with three sides.... three equally long sticks put together .. done.. so the basic form were equilateral triangles... each corner.. each angle was divided into smallest segments of 60... and the rest stems from that... I don't know if the truth of the origin is as academic as you put it.. with the division.. or the more "hands on" approach of my collegue... I find it fascinating.. that people are so baffled that they find patterns in various quantifications of the world that we ourselves put there.. only because it goes around one or more corners...
Who is "they"?

What if i were to add 2 to odd numbers? And then it happened. I thought the sequence will sure stop. It didnt.
Now i dont even have to multiply to get squares.
Well, I thought the number 9 was magic when I was little! Because of that "9 Rule" that means any factor of it, when those numbers are added together, they also equal 9, I thought it held the mysteries of the universe, LOL! Hey, don't look too harsh on me... I was only like 8 years old at the time, having barely discovered multiplication, I then found THAT amazing trick!
I even won some bets with the rule back then! I'd show them how 9×4=36, then 3+6=9, and 9×8=72, then 7+2=9. It even works in higher numbers, too, I'd tell them. I'd show one like 9×425=3825, then 3+8+2+5=18, then 1+8=9. That would get them hooked! They'd bet they could find a number that it wouldn't work on, and I'd proceed to win that bet when I showed them it did. 😂
I never found a number for which that doesn't work when it's a multiple of 9, before I moved on to bigger and better mysteries of the universe. I wasn't exactly a mathematician that could set out to prove something, or a programmer that could write a program to continuously check larger and larger products, though it couldn't be that complicated, since it's simple multiplication followed by even simpler addition. I was just a kid that found it very cool!

Anyone praising veritasium gets a thumbs down.
I remember as a chilod being facsinated by the way multiple of 9 has digits that ultimately add up to 9
I also remember doodling in maths, after completing the assigned questions early) with equations and discovering WHY this happened.
To me maths was never 'sacred' in any way. It was more a sense artistic. (And no not in a 'circle of life' style artisitic just... in a self consistant way.
Don't be silly, a circle is two pi, none of this crazy 360 degrees malarkey.
Yay, new series! Will this series match the fun of WDPLaSS? Stay tuned to find out!
you keep saying "ancient people did this arbitrary thing because it's convenient" but they actually did those arbitrary things because they're also into spirit science and didn't know actual science was a thing yet. Why are you leaving that out? It seems kinda relevant as a way to come full circle. Usually the arbitrary numbers come from astronomy/astrology. Why teach something but not explain it?? SO much knowledge gatekeeping
Martymer my man I have to praise you very highly. I suffer from a few different mental, and physical illnesses. That have left me well disabled... legally. I know you are not a psychiatrist or physician, but the things I've suffered through have been lessened by your unique mixture of logic and humor. It's like loosing yourself and becoming immersed in a novel rather than getting stuck in your head worrying about ones problems.
I have a co-worker who is drinking the coolaid hard. He thinks randall carlson is God and its painful. Not sure how much you've looked into the ancient high tech early civ stuff but it's wild, SS levels of wild
I saw a thumbnail for that channel today. It looked like either super-clickbait or flat-out junk. Either way, I declined to watch.
It's like looking back in time and seeing how the Pythagorean Cult would have worked. This sense of religious awe about frames of looking at the world entirely constructed by men turning out to be useful just bizarre.
Haha, Dr Miano did a video about Randall Carlson the other day that featured this After Skool video, funny you should have one on them too.
I guess great minds think alike! Will be interesting to see what a physicist has to say about this nonsense.
3:30 I worked for Mercedes 20+ years ago, we worked on metric time, 100 minutes to an hour. It was weird at the start but you get used to it pretty quickly.
It's so odd they think this. Lke you said, these numbers were chosen because of how many things they are divisible by, so them thinking that's magic is just baffling.
I'm feeling incredibly proud of myself now. I noticed the property of numbers with a digital root of 9 all on my own, and then when I learned about other number bases I figured out that this property exists for the n-1th digit in a base n system. I was never taught this in school, just happened upon it. So this topic was incredibly validating for me. But I never for a second thought I had hit upon a 'secret of the universe' or even something that mathematicians weren't thoroughly aware of.
when a chanal have this kind of stupid stuff. at least I doubt the rest of it. by the way historicly a inch was 2.47 cm and a inch was 29.7 cm in my country.
I didn't actually learn that trick about 9 division until adulthood. They literally just taught us the multiplication tables at my school. It's a cool trick though.
I always grin about when humans delude themselves with systems they themselves came up with and due to ignorance and or laziness claim it's magic 😂
Is it just me or does this guy at his age sounds like me in the first grade when I first saw patterns in numbers and had no clue the history related to those numbers and why those were used as the value holders? Mind you, I'm saying I hear an excited 6 year old... Dude shows his intellect fairly well, eh?
It must be frustrating as an educator to see someone so fascinated with math and numbers and then take a hard turn right into mysticism and woo instead of pursuing actually true things or even just looking into why the fascinating observations they made work.
I'll never understand why numerologists obsess over these arbitrary observations instead of the actually interesting applicable numbers like "e," which like a force of nature can be derrived from real world experimentation.
Because woo makes money. What makes me puke is Carlson says he has a sacred geometry class that covers the Eratosthenes math. No Randall, that's just math you utter scammer.
It's very simple. Notice how most of the numbers they fixate on are either round integers? Or how the only numerical constant they seem to care about is pi?
The whole act is stage magic for conspiracy theorists and new-agers.
Arbitrary numbers allow for more arbitrary connections.
They can pretend to find deep meaning without putting any real work in. I'm always amused how they denigrate the people putting real work in to make actual discoveries about the universe.
The fact that all multiples of 9 have their digits add up to a multiple of 9, was somehow missed by this great teacher?
when i was in school, i was never taught to do this kablaistic maths where numbers bigger than 10 are not allowed to exsist. whats that all about?
Why is Imperial System still a thing??
American schools can barely teach basic math. They sure as hell aren't gonna be able to teach anyone a system of measurement they won't use every day.
You know you are dealing with a crank when they have to make up the professions they are in.
Never could be a math based debunk more entertaining :D
...Jordan got access to a time machine, and THIS is what he did with it?
every time you say you would have learned it in school, I never did.
It’s that 60 has more divisors than 10. That’s it.
Now let's see him do half this magic math with metric, and see how mystical it is then.
This is the new series I didn't know I needed until you started it. Looking forward to next episodes so much!
As soon as I saw Randall Carlson I facepalmed.
Does Carlson have any ACTUAL credentials? I can't find any.
Not unless you count geomythology as a real thing.

Veritasium! That didn't age well. His last video of number 37 is pure numerology BS.
Is it? The video only explained how 37 (and 73) aren't random numbers, and the reasoning behind it is the layperson's thought process.
Let's say you're asked to pick a random number between 1 and 9.
You don't wanna pick either 1 or 9 because they're the extremes of the range.
You don't wanna pick 5 because it's right at the center.
You don't wanna pick 2 or 8 because they're next to 1 and 9, and the same can be said about 4 and 6 being next to 5.
So you're left with 3 and 7 as "perceived random" numbers, because they're neither in the extreme ends of the 1-9 range, or the very center, or close to either of those things.
@@Eltro920It's really sad that you explain all of that and don't realize that you just explained why it was in fact nonsense.
It didn't age well since a long time ago. Some would say since electricity and Poynting vector, some would say since self-driving cars, some would say since clickbait justification, but it was spoilt a long time ago for sure.
@@NinjaMonkeyPrime Because that was the point of that Veritasium video.
Also keep in mind that he also games RUclips's algorithm.
This means he has to come up with nonsensical titles and thumbnails, only for the videos themselves to explain how nonsensical those titles and thumbnails are.
@@Eltro920 If he left it there, it would have been just a hypothesis on human psychology. Maybe a weak one, but fine. But then he went to pure numerology with human body temperature, angle in one specific triangle and even seeing number 37 in stars! Temperature scale and number of degrees in full circle are arbitrary human constructs and seeing patterns in stars is pure imagination.
He built sheds. Nothing else.
Press 15 to pay respects.
This kind of math was most certainly not taught in my elementary school, nor my middle or high school. Sad to say, but I have a B.S. and this was mostly gibberish to me. America.
Not the modular arithmetic stuff but certainly that the digits of all multiples of nine add up to 9:
09
18
27
36
45
54
63
72
81
90
It's quite easy to prove without any fancy math as well.

I once learned 12 comes from counting on our fingers with the thumb of the same hand count the knuckles?! I watched just parts of this vid so you may have mentioned this
I learned that it was not using the thumb but using every knuckle of your fingers, 12 on each hand so you have 24 total
Thanks for reminding me about what I have learned in school and at university. 🙂
Man I really hate it when people are impressed with digits. Try a different number base already.
Yes, hex is a good one to go with. Some people will know of the number DEADBEEF
Ok
Heey, Martmer has more than one video in a week? What great times we live in 😀
And I just wanted to post my comment about how arbitrarily the 360° of a circle are, some people see a circle and say "360°", others like me see it and say "2*π" , but then you already told us so in the video. Great 🙂
So he has chosen money over ethics. Well, ethics doesn't buy many groceries. I do not respect it at all, I just understand it.

psych2go is also really bad about this. love their actual mental health stuff but god i wish they'd stop all that dark empath crap
You keep using the term arbitrary incorrectly. Arbitrary - based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system. You say Babylonians chose 12 and 60 because they have many factors and match observations they made (ie fit into a numeric system they were using) and then say they are arbitrary units.
I see no issue with this usage of "arbitrary" in math. A value is arbitrary if it is independent, i.e. does not depend on the values of other variables. Words in math have specific meanings that may differ from colloquial English. The choice of 360 degrees is arbitrary. The choice of 2*Pi radians is not arbitrary, because it depends on a mathematical fact about circles.
I'm not sure his choice of arbitrary is wrong because you aren't referencing the correct context. The Babylonians had an idea why they used their numbering system. But why did Carlson pick the Babylonians? That's the arbitrary aspect.
The use of "arbitrary" in this context is more similar in meaning to "by fiat", or perhaps "by convention". That is, whatever reasoning or rationale may have been involved in coming up with the system, in the end somebody had to simply _decide_ to use it, and the use of it stuck. Any number of choices were possible, but it just happened to be this one.
I'm deeply disappointed that Santa has gone to the Dark Side.

Better go grab that whiskey.
You probably can't debate Carlson without him making up unanswerable questions to make you look stupid in the eyes of affabulateurs.

@@theheavymetalbrony2257 Jaha, påhittade ord som inte ens svenska akademien känner till. Som om inte det svenska språket vore tillräckligt jobbigt annars också. Suck...

… This is the whole point. He’s arguing that ancients designed these systems to show the same numbers. We know is arbitrary, we only get these numbers using these systems. But if the ancients used these systems, maybe there’s a reason… That’s his whole point. It doesn’t matter about 9, or anything specifically with numbers. The point is the common systems used are the same. Don’t come in here and tell us the ancients used the metric system.. Is there a reason you conveniently left out the rest of the video, you know, that actual hypothesis, so you can just smirk and attempt to make him look goofy? Go ahead and debunk the entire video then.
Of course I’m not saying that you’re telling us about the metric system, but unfortunately I have to insert this comment because people like you only care about “gotcha” responses. Go ahead and debunk the whole video. If you think he’s playing with numbers, but all of these things line up, as in the pyramid portion, etc, then why assume the ancients did it by mere accident. The probability that you can use one of the common #s in ancient religions to accurately multiply against the height to get the circumference of the earth is suggestive, especially if the ancients were “playing with numbers”. Go ahead and debunk the weathering agaisnt the sphinx exhibit. Go ahead and debunk that catastrophes are just myth… lol. Ridiculous. Debunk the video. You have the ability to reason. So go decipher truth, and debunk the whole video.
360° ??? I thought a full circle is 400 gon? ;-P
I was going to guess 20 loud left.
Since when the f*ck do you show up twice in one week? ANYWAY, no, that's too scratchy for Jordan's animation--SERIOUSLY, the kid should have just gone into graphic design, that's how buttery his work is--and this guy looks like if Santa had a baby with...who's that one cult leader with the squishy face who never blinks? The Heaven's Gate guy. There are--or were--also cultures who count/ed the hours in longer and shorter increments, y the way, since an hour is KIND OF arbitrary. The way you measure time also plays tricks with your psyche: cultures where an hour is, say, only 50 minutes long will have an even more break-neck pace than we're expected to have under modern Capitalism, but cultures where they measure it in longer intervals have a slower sense of time, and hence, tempo of life. This doink is also doing the same "twelve is important" numerology shit that Revelation does with the "144,00 redeemed" thing. There are CURREWNTLY LIVING people who think that only 144,000 people will get into Heaven. If Heaven were even real, that's less than the current population of the city I live in, for God's sake. Numbers good, numerology bad.
I also ONLY took the required maths in high school--I'm a different kind of nerd than you, so the Humanities were more my jam--but I actually can keep up with this guy, and with you here, because geometry is the only branch of math I was ever any good at. haha...I liked the shapes. No, seriously, that's why I paid attention and actually tried. It was my artist senses kicking in. Until you start getting formulaic a bit more than halfway through. Then I turn my brain off. Sorry.
Also, you said the word "hexadecimal", which immediately got me thinking of THE most amazing cartoon of all time, right from here in Canada.. Go watch Reboot. There are episodes on RUclips. Hexadecimal, in the show's case, is a character, not a math concept, and is the GREATEST chaotic neutral character ever written. Yes, I will fight you on this one. "To be continued" AFTER you watch Reboot.

That's an interesting hypothesis. I, too, did better with geometry than other forms of math, and I'm also a humanities/arts person. You may be on to something there...
@@rloomis3 , which arts and which humanities, if you'd like to share? I'm a music and Eastern Philosophy person.
@@ActiveAdvocate1 Music, mainly; strong interest in visual arts, cinema, and in my younger days, literature.
@@rloomis3 , oh yeah, duh, literature. I do that whole writing thing. Sigh...my book baby, she may never be fully-grown. Mama's very lazy. Piano and vocal, SH*T-load of reading of course, written some poetry, currently, ahem, 'writing" (i.e. sitting on) a book. I can't really do the visual arts: I'm mostly blind. But I know what I like to look at, anyway. The Impressionists get me going, but that's also the case with music, because the Romantic movement happened at the same time as Impressionism in visual arts, and Debussy is love, Debussy is life. Him and Jeremy Dutcher, but that masterpiece of a human being and musician is THREE MONTHS YOUNGER THAN ME. Well, two and a half, but younger than me and with a billion times the talent. Who do you like?
@@ActiveAdvocate1 Who do I like... Well, off the top of my head...
George Crumb
György Ligeti
Guillaume de Machaut
Josquin des Prez
Olivier Messiaen
Jean Sibelius
Gustav Mahler
Igor Stravinsky
Miles Davis (1940s - 60s)
Sonny Rollins
Chris Potter
Serge Chaloff
Clifford Brown
Elvin Jones
Chick Corea
The Beatles
Silly Wizard
Stan Rogers
The Bobs
Ali Akbar Khan
Zakir Hussain
Wu Man
and, of course, "givens" like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, etc.
My favorite Debussy works would be his _String Quartet, Afternoon of a Faun, Syrinx,_ and _Jeux._
I'm not familiar with Jeremy Dutcher. I looked him up, and was intrigued; I'll have to check out his work. As for your remarks about his age - well, how do you think I feel, being more than two decades your senior? ;-)
Whenever anyone mentions "the Ancients", it's a free pass to tune them out
stonewalling is bullying
I guess I need to watch his video.
Because replaying what he says HERE isn't accurate?
@@NinjaMonkeyPrime not at all…I find sacred geometry videos fascinating. The rabbit hole it goes down is…weird to put it mildly.
"Equity: The Thief of Human Potential by Thomas Sowell" is the only After Skool video that i think was worth watching.
The others I have tried were a waste.
I like to compare them to TED talks. Usually mediocre but with occasional gems and occasional diarrhea.
That one's a waste, too.
If you think Sowell is of any competence, you're wrong
I dont get it. You dont like his video about mythological and religious math, because of its mythological and religious content?
What were you expecting?
People to understand math.
From an educational channel, accuracy & a tutor who understands number theory would be a minimum.
I have a theory that time is divided into multiples of 6 because it is very easy with simple tools (a compass or a piece of string) to draw a circle and divide it into 6ths.
It's the same mysticism that surrounds the "flower of life" pattern, basic geometry
