You will never be a real professor. You have no masters degree, you have no PhD, you have no tenure. You are a high school graduate twisted by hubris and retardation into a crude mockery of actual intelligence.

All the “validation” you get on your youtube is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your lack of intellect behind closed doors.

Students are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of milliseconds of thought have allowed anyone without intellectual disability to sniff out frauds like you with incredible efficiency. Even your claims that are “valid” are fallacious and disingenuous to a non-retard. Your target audience is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get an ifls soiboy to watch your videos, he’ll turn tail and stop watching the second he gets a clue about the scientific method.

You will never be intelligent. You wrench out a fallacious arguments every single morning and tell yourself it will be okay, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked without mention of professorship, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a failure is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a youtube channel that is unmistakably shit.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

I guess I had an outstanding professor, because she taught us all those tricks that 3b1b's videos explain without needing some animation, and moreover gave us a rigorous understanding of the subject, not just the "it's all rotations" pop-math babble.

But in any case, compare all his "recent" content to the videos he started out making - fractals, p-adic numbers with a view towards math exploration. Now it's just how many ways can I show you areas/volumes rotating and perhaps scaling with an animation, and then this is le heckin' linear transformation or integral, or whatever else freshmen struggle with.

I saw his "debate" with some flatearther and he managed to make himself look like an insanely smug little shit by being nothing but condescending and using personal ad hominem attacks. It was more like an internet bloodsport debate than an actual debate and definitely hurt himself by exposing himself as a snarky little unlikable cunt.
