I’d trade my car repair skill for house repair, and my musical ability for math ability. Both of those are far more useful in life. Maybe also trade my computer ability for welding or woodworking.

    3b1b, the gray cuber, 2swap, lines that connect etc…

    I just went and subscribed to these channels. Their videos will pop up in my feed over time.

    I have spent the last few months watching Mind Your Decisions and AndyMath. I can follow what they are doing but do not feel that I could always/necessarily reproduce what they do if given a novel problem. I am hopeful that continuing to go through these will help me build up a solid repertoire of thinking skills.

    If you have other channel suggestions, please share!

      Found a few others you might want to look into : -stand up math. The videos are a bit more shallow in and of themselves, but they do touch on some quite obscure and deep math subjects. -numberphile. Great one offs, a bit less entertaining… Took me some time to get into it but there’s a huge backlog
