The video touches on the factual aspects of Mandelbrot sets (what I am interested in)... if you like philosophical considerations on how fractals might relate to the nature of reality (less my thing), you can check out this article.

This gets hard to follow rather quickly.
Seems like he's a big fan of Wolfram. Main RGB (Taro competitor) developer is a huge fan too. Wolfram and his theories of everything are quite controversial in mainstream sciencific communities, maybe partially coz of his arrogance. He's like the Taleb of science...
I'm not smart enough to have my own opinion on it though.
Can you ELI5 this for me? Probably a hard thing to do :)

Yeah, it is hard to ELI5. I share this belief because I am programming since childhood, have a CS degree and studied quantum physics, astrophysics and cosmology with Coursera, Brilliant, etc. The clash with traditional science is that Wolfram's theory cannot be falsified (proved wrong or correct) with an experiment. Kind of like a religion.

I'll start by going through the Sabine video he recommends then. Nothing better than some dry German humor to talk about hidden variables in Bell's inequalities ;)

that's a course on Brilliant. you have the first month free. I finished 4 courses in that time period, highly recommend:
Introduction to Linear Algebra
Quantum Mechanics with Sabine
Quantum Objects
Quantum Computing

basic idea is that applying simple rules over and over can create systems of infinite complexity

I love fractals, it's like explaining the universe through art. It's delightful to me that they are their own definition, it mesmerizes me.

Thanks! This is something that I can watch again and again but without too much gain. My advanced science is t my forte.
