yo dude your videos are great, really informative too. idk why people are telling you to stop swearing, personally i think it makes you're viewpoints/personality/credibi­lity even more relatable. and besides, swear words were created to express the severity of something that otherwise, without a swear, can't be expressed. and it's clear that a lot of the points at which you swear, are done so as to convey your feelings towards whatever particular notion you are stating. so keep swearing dude

he was doing so well at the start then i lost all respect for him. the proof that 2+2 = 4 is based on the assumptioms that the external world exists. that induction is valid. and these axiomatic rules are what we have all agreed upon. i can define the symbol "4" as 1+1. in which case the statement 2+2=4 is false. if there is no external world 2+2 is meaningless
