New Video Preview! (And your thoughts?)
Added 2023-09-01 12:32:39 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
New video on a knotty problem coming out soon! Linking it down below. As usual, would love to know of any suggestions, confusions, corrections, your favorite parts, etc. Still getting some animations and pieces in, so use your imagination for the placeholders!
Hope you enjoy, and thanks so much for your support & feedback!

Last correction. The best way to avoid tangle in your headphone wire is to go Bluetooth.

2023-09-03 14:43:49 +0000 UTCI have to strongly disagree with 29:10. It's not that one (clockwise or anticlockwise) is better than the other. It all depends on how you tied the first trifoil as it also has two chiral versions.

2023-09-03 14:38:38 +0000 UTC12:20 you first introduce 2 to the power of 2. Then you say "raise that to the power of 2" but you show "raise 2 to the power of that".

2023-09-03 14:19:30 +0000 UTCDamn Patron! The app got updated on Friday. An update requires Android to kill it. Now I didn't get any notifications until today I got YouTube notification that you posted new video. If I were here on Friday I could tell you that in your knot demonstration in 3:30 there is definitely too many cuts even though you didn't cut any knot.

2023-09-02 21:46:09 +0000 UTCI've been using the Ian knot for so long I forget when I started. I think other comments are right, once posted...there is going to be a LOT of focus on which method is better. haha...but I did like the video and the pull focus on the animation was cool.

2023-09-02 21:18:10 +0000 UTCI agree - at least we should come away with a better way to tie our shoelaces - or something to try out and see if it works. But it’s not the case here. I was disappointed by what what seemed like a broken promise after waiting for 28 minutes.

2023-09-02 03:42:25 +0000 UTCThis is really interesting … once you get to 24:16 and the very exciting applications. You certainly would have lost me way before that point if it wasn’t for Patreon. So I highly recommend you shorten the pure mathematical section - it’s just way too long and somewhat repetitive/redundant. Alternatively you could insert some of the applications earlier in the video but even then it needs significant trimming to maintain the attention of even nerds like me. The picture at 26:08 seems kind of random/ without context also. Good luck!

2023-09-02 03:39:00 +0000 UTCFrom playing around with my shoes right now, I'm wondering if it's equivalent to pulling the loops until the loose ends come through? If so, that seems like an easy addition to make, and that also means I tie mine the good way!

2023-09-01 21:50:37 +0000 UTC28:38 is there a way to make it more clear why this is the same as the way people tie their shoes? Because it doesn't Look like tied shoelaces, and it's not immediately clear to me why it's the same, so as a result the intro shoelace setup feels like it was never fulfilled.

2023-09-01 21:48:58 +0000 UTC12:47 or 12:48 is there a reason why the upper-most 2 disappears?

2023-09-01 21:20:05 +0000 UTCi know i'm being silly, but does the bunny ear method for tying shoes form a square knot or 2 unknots.
