It was an impressing intro, but i'm 9 minutes in and thinking if I should continue watching. Bro, how can 1 Penny be multiplied by 1 Penny? Ok fine, if you wanna do that, consider that the multiplication sign means that the THAT MANY COPIES of something are placed side by side. So 1 Penny x 5 = 5 Pennies (5 pennies placed side by side, then collected together equals 5 pennies). So 1 Penny x 1 = just 1 Penny. So, 1 x 5 is another way of saying 1+1+1+1+1=5, instead of using 4 extra "1s" we just write 1x5. I don't know if the rest of the video is going to be like this, but i'll watch anyway. The premise is interesting. I was doing some "Number autism" myself and came upon the number 7 as being the odd one out, and the fact that we probably should be using the octal number system and not the decimal number system.

Oh my God. I lost a lot of brain cells watching this video. Something cannot be multiplied by the same thing, something has to be multiplied by a number. There's some book it seems, I'm still going to go ahead and read the book, even if just to understand what the heck happened to this man.

Agreed…“identity” that’s the link that messed me up.
