I aināt mad, but that shit was hard to listen to. Iām good with challenging the status quo with new theories, but at some point you gotta prove that shit. E.g. Einstein came up with the theory of relativity through thought experiments. But then he actually did the math and came up with his field equations that are testable with experiments. You gotta have both.

Yeah I absolutely agree with you on some points - like 1x1=2 lost me lol. Itās interesting that even Einstein read Walter Russelās work. The idea of ālynchpinā formations that can rotate in all degrees around a central axis is fascinating. That part and the part about Walter Russelās periodic table were the parts that stood out to me as curious and maybe practical.
I guess when I hear far out stuff it doesnāt offend me as much as it makes me think āman where did he get what heās smokingā haha and then I move on. But there were definitely points that made me curious.
No doubt, itās important to have humility. There are lots of things that were ācommon knowledgeā in the past that ended up being bs. Iām sure thereās something that I deeply believe is true thatāll end up being bullshit. I try to remind myself of that if I find hubris creeping in
