      I had asked you to make videos on the topic of "intelligence", and used me, the discoverer of that topic. INTELLIGENCE will help clear and correct almost all topics in science. For example, the topic of intelligence will give real explanation of AI. Is it INTELLIGENCE in AI or just simply an INSTINCT in AI? Another: how do we know if the universe is intelligently made or not? To solve many problems in PHYSICS and Astronomy, etc... many more. If the change in biological world is non-intelligence, what could we expect? Evolution Theory must be re-checked... THUS, are you willing to make videos for the topic of INTELLIGENCE? Human life depends on INTELLIGENCE... Google my name: Edgar Alberto Postrado

      @BRunoAWAY It is the things like 1/0, or zero divided by infinity, or anything divided by zero, or the square root of negative one, or the calculus definition of an "infinitesimal" that can make you quite crazy. It is in realizing how what starts out seeming so simple and natural (1, 2, 3...) can lead you down a rabbit hole into Alice-In-Wonderland.

I like these videos. They’re not like any other and they only focus on important and interesting details.
