    Something cool about hawaiin culture, is they had a mathematic base of four which I believe aided in the effects of ancient Hawaiin mysticism and magic. Also Basket Weaving is a talent and a half, those hats are rad

    I was saying I wish he'd show one of those seeds sprouting and just then he showed one of the seeds sprouting. I grew a pineapple by rooting the cut off top. It grew a little pineapple on the end of a bendy piece of green I guess was like a branch but the pineapple looked like bait a little bigger than an acorn dangled from a fishing line. I grew it in a 3 liter coke bottle in part shade and just checked it about once a week to water. 🙂

    Seems like the ship of Theseus paradox. If we lose a chunk of our skin through an injury, are we still ourselves? We would be more different for from the infinitesimal difference of .9 recurring and 1. I love your point about the numbers we create as being representational. Love your work 🙂

    Let's say you are asked to multiply two numbers which are not far away from each other. I'll take the Example with 21x28 First step: find the "middle number" between 1 and 8 middle number is either 4.5 So you can select anyone you want but I'll select always de smallest one; 4 in this case. Then 21x28 = 24x24 + 24 - (28-24)*(28-23) Thus: 24x24 + 24 - 4*3 Now, I dont know how much 24x24 is but I do know that: (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b² hence: 24x24 = 20² + 2*20*4 + 4² And finally, 21x28 = 20² + 2*20*4 + 16 +24 - 12 = 20² + 188 = 588 If the two numbers are too far away like: 21x51,then: 21x51 = 21x25*2+21 and calculate 21x25 as 23² - 4 = 20² + 2*3*20 + 9 - 4 = 400+120+5=525 So: 525*2+21=1071 With Practise you can do this mentally pretty fasy

    15:44 "using *fewer* ones," not "using less ones." Sorry for bringing this up, but it is one of my greatest pet peeves, the misuse of the word "less" when talking about items you can count. If you can count them, use the word "fewer" when describing a smaller quantity of them. Save the word "less" for when what you are talking about cannot be quantized, but instead refers to a general amount of something. "Less sand on the beach" versus "fewer grains of sand." "Less water in my glass than in yours" versus "fewer glasses of water on this table than on that table."

    Here are some axioms I could come up with General: 1. Odd number x Odd number is always results in an Odd number. 2. Adding 1 to an Odd number always makes it an Even number. 3. All Even numbers repeatedly divided by two will eventually turn into a Odd Number. Specific to 3x + 1: 1. In a 3x + 1 sequence the amount Odd numbers will always be less then the amount of Even numbers. 2. There is never two Odd Numbers in a row during a 3x + 1 sequence. 3. As the Even Numbers size increases the amount of divisions by 2 in the sequence increase.

    Isn't this just "prime factorization" extended to include operations other than the usual multiplications? 4 = 2 * 2 (simple prime factorization, and the "cost" is simply the addition of factors) or 2 + 2 (4 ones) 5 = 2 * 2 + 1 (prime can't be factorized, so we include addition operation) or 1+1+1+1+1 (5 ones either way) And because each number can be written as x = 1 + 1 + ... x times, we can say that each number has a maximum cost of X ones. so, for 5, you can just write 5 ones. 6 = 2 * 3 (5 ones by using prime factorization). 7 = 2 * 3 + 1 (prime number can't be factorized, reuses cost of previous factorization and adds one) and so on. The whole (2^a) * (3^b) is simply a consequence of all prime numbers (greater than 3) being of the form 6k + 1 or 6k - 1.
