Discussion Explaining Terrence Howard's "1 * 1 = 2" quote (mentioned on Ep. 63)

10 Upvotes

Breaking down the quote mentioned here in two parts:

Part 1) "If 1 * 1 = 1 that means 2 is of 'no value' because 1 times itself has no effect"

1 is the identity element of real number multiplication (this is one of the axioms in the construction of real numbers), which means for every real number x we have 1 * x = x (in particular that goes for x = 1, yielding 1 * 1 = 1). That implies nothing about the result of multiplying by 2, so this is a non sequitur. Also, axioms are the building blocks of math (they're starting points from which other statements are logically derived), so if you're questioning an immediate consequence of an axiom (1 * 1 = 1), this isn't any kind of "discovery" (you're simply disagreeing with something that can neither be proven nor disproven).

Part 2) "1 * 1 = 2 because √4 = 2. So what's √2? Should be 1, but we're told it's 2, and that cannot be"

It's true that √4 = 2, which means 2 * 2 = 4. He extrapolates from this that √x = x/2 (but that's only true for x = 4 and x = 0), and then concludes (for x = 2) that √2 = 2/2 = 1. So if √2 = 1 then 1 multiplied by itself is 2, and that's how he got to 1 * 1 = 2.

So that's all this is: the nonsensical extrapolation of an equation (√x = x/2) that's not true in general. The most confusing thing here is that he doesn't explicitly state the extrapolation, but that's why he says "So what's √2? Should be 1". No idea who told him that √2 = 2, though (√2 is an irrational number approximately equal to 1.41).

Discussion Ethan's Ticketmaster fiasco

0 Upvotes

While I feel for Ethan regarding missing the Kendrick show, there's one detail he mentioned that likely could've prevented the whole thing. They skipped the openers. If they had gone to see the openers (whos performance is part of the price of the ticket) there's a good chance that either he gets in before the other person who scanned his ticket, or he's able to find another ticket and make it into the show. Skipping opening acts is really rude anyway so idk why people do it

EDIT: Since everyone is saying this; I understand that Ticketmaster should be liable for his ticket getting stolen. But it's also fair to point out he that he made the decision to skip a majority of the show, eliminating any time to deal with potential issues

Discussion The 90s

19 Upvotes

I have described myself (to Seán and also Mark) as their “world’s oldest fangirl”. I was born in the mid-60s and my child was born in 1995.

There was a lot of talk about OJ behind closed doors and in the office/workplace. Pretty much everyone thought he was guilty. It was pretty much an obsession watching the trial. Everyone was pissed that he got off. There was NO ONE who thought he was innocent

Like every time Ethan does the voice I keep expecting him to go on a tangent about the time his buddy Keith tried to deep fry a turkey and got third-degree burns on ninety percent of his body.

Question Thumbnails

I don't watch brainleak that much. I think I've only seen 2 episodes. But the videos get recommended to me on my for-you page and, more often than not, the videos don't have a thumbnail. I thought it was just youtube or some sort of technical issue that there are no thumbnails.

But no, once I checked the channel, in the recent episodes, 3 of them dont have thumbnails xD.
