Haven't watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word "amorphous"

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

~~Either~~ he’s misusing “amorphous” ~~or~~ and he doesn’t understand energy.

He likely meant "ubiquitous". Then again, with the wavy hands...

For those that know, is it normal for dementia-like diseases to drop cognition this fast? Is exhaustion exacerbating it?

My grandma crashed really hard, really quickly after her husband died. I don't know if it's the norm, but it can happen.

Nails amorphous, gets the concept of stove wrong.

He just saw the Matrix. He meant to say "a Morpheus".
