He’s a very interesting case study. At one point I asked where he comes up with this nonsense and he says something like “Bro you just haven’t thought about it as much as I have.” Thinking deeply while having zero comprehension leads you to whatever this is.

[@brandonzero07]

[@cajohnson130]

Yes. Thanks to the internet, social media and algorithms, people who have had zero science education or education in general think they are experts.

My son is like that: math, science, and education don't matter to him, because he figures everything out on his own through meditation and drugs like DMT. The hitch is, ask him anything about factual reality and actual math, and he doesn't know shit, while still professing that he's figured out everything and no one else is intelligent enough to understand him.

[@porkramen]

Thats...depressing.

[@cajohnson130]

Social media is really messing us up. You can confirm ANY belief on some corner of the internet. Everyone is an expert. Even people who have no education at all. It's frustrating. This is why we should teach critical thinking, skepticism and epistemology in school.

[@jacksonnn1661]

Made it all the way to the end of this video. This guy is offering no supporting evidence to his claims other than "trust me bro" Its not a matter of respecting or disrespecting the person. When he has no proof of his ideas or the ability to even explain let alone back them up, the idea doesn't command respect by default because he's presented nothing but blind speculation. This guy has thought himself into a hole and doesn't want to climb out of it. I don't think reasoning is part of his repertoire.

[@strwberipunkin]

This guy is things I am not able to write or I’ll get banned. Feeling ARE physical manifestations. Emotions change our physical self whether we show the emotion in body language or not. Hormones. Feelings are hormones and blood pressure.

[@martin2289]

Love the way he repeatedly ends his ridiculous assertions with "You see what I'm sayin'?" You'd figure when the answer is invariably "No" that the penny would eventually drop, but for all this guy's strenuous thinking, it's clearly yet to happen.

[@ianchisholm5756]

Phrases such as 'You see what I'm sayin'?' 'Know what I mean?' and 'Right?' are markers that the speaker lacks confidence in having their own opinion or is not used to being listened to. They're strong indicators of age, education level,or social status - e.g. teenagers use them and teachers don't.

[@foulrot]

​@@ianchisholm5756that's not always true, if you're attempting to lead someone to a logical conclusion you may have to break your point into smaller points and then drive home the idea by asking them "you see what I'm saying" to have them confirm they are coming along on the trip.

[@ianchisholm5756]

@@foulrot Point taken, but as a teacher I am v-e-r-y aware that 'You see what I'm saying?' often gets an affirmative answer even when the other person has not understood. People are very reluctant to admit that they don't get something or to appear rude by implying that it hasn't been explained well. An open question (such as 'So, what do you think about that?') is a much better way to check understanding and develop a conversation.

[@Lauren-zg9zo]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@ianchisholm5756well, I mean, I sometimes ask if what I said makes sense to the listener as to make sure I was heard and understood. I was still confident in what I was saying, I just like to make sure people hear me and if what I said makes sense to them. 99 times out of 100 I get a yes.

[@ianchisholm5756]

@@Lauren-zg9zo My point was that a 'yes' does not always mean that the person has genuinley understood. Social status, politeness and discomfort can often lead to people to apparently concur with a statement even when they disagree with it or don't understand it.

[@andreasplosky8516]

I'd say "Bro needs to START thinking". He is living in his own utterly insane fantasy world. "See what I'm saying".

[@lemmyhead8578]

I see now. He's using "One Dimensional" in the same way an NFL football team would be considered "One Dimensional" if they only used an overwhelming passing attack, but lacked the ability to run the football effectively. Angel got high one day and thought he had stumbled onto something prophetic. Edit: I was wrong. I have no fucking clue what he's saying.

[@KrazieB7]

I guarantee that he listens to Bro Sanchez. That mindset about a cell is 100% something Bro Sanchez would say.

'Check this out! Check this out!' means 'I think I've got a gotcha but actually I've got nothing.'

[@barryfennell9723]

I understand artistic renderings of dimensional spacing but for me it translates to how, like gravity, we are surrounded by fields that we could potentially make physical mass while interacting and deactivating others.

[@nicholasbanton]

This dude exemplifies the importance of empiricism and methodological naturalism for examining the physical world. Without these frameworks grounded in verifiable evidence, one risks being hopelessly adrift, unable to differentiate fact from imagination - much like this person who conflates imagined narratives with demonstrable reality.

[@peterwyetzner5276]

I wonder what it would take for this guy to affirm "I try to know as little as possible". I suppose that modern culture has made people feel that ignorance is a bad thing, without necessarily relieving them of it.

Wait. Isn't a circle two-dimensional? A line would be one-dimensional.

[@cbooth2004]

One of his issues is that he is severely language-challenged. "Dimension" has different meanings, but he doesn't grok that. If we say an actor's performance is one-dimensional or presents a two-dimensional character, he thinks that it is the same as a concept in Flatland, and that is the same as a "realm" in a fantasy/sci-fi video or a Doctor Strange movie, and as in Brane Theory or a Calabi-Yau Manifold. He thinks that a cell is one-dimensional in that its purpose is singular (he is appallingly ignorant), and that that is the same as being in one universe or reality, à la where Dormammu or Shuma-Gorath reside. He imagines a connection between different meanings of words ant thinks he's attained an insight. Somewhere along the line he got the idea that Buddha contemplating his navel and leaping to a comprehension is an ideal he desires and imagines himself to be. He thinks that the apple falling is the point, not the deep study and applied intelligence that were the actual elements of the English kid's "Eureka!" moment.

[@WordAte]

Why use the convoluted discussion on vector states? Height, length, and depth are the first three dimensions. Time appears to be a fourth dimension. Dimensions 5 through 9 are hypothetical. Regarding this operative nonsense. If he believes there is a rift between our understanding and reality, what makes his understanding so concrete so as to overcome this rift? It is nonsense. There are states of reality that are difficult to perceive, such as the atomic level of a table. That is not a different dimension. That atomic level exists within the same four perceivable dimensions as the non-atomic level. The theoretical 5-9 dimensions may exist at the atomic level, but the first four dimensions are still there at the atomic level. I would argue that we perceive sight in 4-d. Time is observed because motion is observed.
