Hello Emma, I solved metaphysics. Metaphysics explained: 2D shape-name vs. 3D shape-name for determining 4D shape. (circle, in this example) Earth 'is' a 4D "circle" (2D shape-name); a "Quaternion". Earth 'is not' a 4D "sphere" (3D shape-name); a "Hypersphere". 2D = circle 3D = sphere 4D 'circle' = quaternion 👍 4D 'sphere' = hypersphere 👎 (lit. 5D) 3rd, 4th and 5th Dimensional shape-names are causing confusion. Making people think our current 'contingent' universal stereographic is 3D instead of 4D. 2D shape-names for determining 4D shapes. 3D shape-names for determining 5D shapes. "Transcending dimensions" (Jacob's Ladder 🪜). 0D: point 1D: length/line 2D: shape-name + L/W "circle/flat earth". 3D: shape-name + L/W + depth "sphere/globe earth". 4D: shape-name + L/W/D + time(flow); current, 'contingent' (not simulated) 4D circle "quaternion" earth. 5D: (H1) 6D: (H2) 7D: (H3) 8D: (H4) 9D: (H5) 10D: (H6) 11D: (H7) Empyrean: (God's Abode) You can use any 2D shape-name to determine 4D shape characteristics accurately. Good luck proving/solving Pataphysics 🙃. Google 'quaternion' stereographic images/info, please. 4D 'circle' (not 4D 'sphere'). i.e. our planet. Everything is Geometry and dimensions. Use correct dimensional name-shapes.

@@ready1fire1aim1 Interesting. You probably would've got along with Betrand Russell, in terms of his focus on the importance of clarifying accurate definitions as a necessary foundation to understanding, and discussing, those concepts. But, given your understanding of definitions, you would know that you have not 'solved metaphysics' but solved a way of describing metaphysical terms. You have literally (😉) combined colloquial terms for describing shapes, and added words to those terms in common usage to make those definitions more precise. If you aren't already familiar, you might be Interested to look up the avant-garde art work 'This is not a pipe'. Then you might see the irony in your post. In your genuine intellectual cleverness, I think it may have been a situation of 'not seeing the wood/ forest for the trees'. But in terms of defining metaphysics, your use of logic may have hit on something useful. Everyone in the field, primarily, would need to adopt your terminology for it to be a workable system. If that occurred, the terminology may be picked up by the general population. But it helps if you have a reputation in the field to be listened to and have an impact. I hope you are using your obvious intelligence towards a goal of this nature. But your life choices are your own! It's rare to find people willing to write thoughtful comments on KZread.

“Play is valuable as an adult” Considering how stressful and grim being an adult generally IS, and how poorly our education systems and parenting culture (at least if you’re a child of the 80s-90s...can’t speak for later) in the UK prepared us for being adults and dealing with adult things....I’d say play is VITAL as an adult. Being an adult should never mean having to set aside the things you enjoy just because some homogeneous cultural attitude says those things are “for kids”. The way I see it, if it’s culturally acceptable for people to get totally shitfaced on a weekend while watching their favourite team kick a ball for 90 minutes, it should be just as acceptable for me to play computer games and paint little plastic space marines and play D&D.

Is there or has there been a priest Barbie - and how would that be handled by the literalist Radical Evangelical Christians, when it goes against the Bible.

"Barbie has light up breasts" was quickly followed by "I need to clean up this mess." My mind went in the gutter.

That Facebook post totally makes me, a 49-year-old, queer, atheist woman want to run out to Target and buy satanic yoga Barbie. (I enjoy doing yoga myself in a non-religious way AND I always wanted a Barbie flexible enough to do gymnastics as a kid, so hey, this is up my alley. Like you, I see no problem with adults liking toys.)

I remember my mom telling me to be careful when I mentioned I was taking a yoga class in college. Not because she was worried about me getting hurt, of course, but because Satan. The class was good, I kept doing yoga well after the class ended, though now that I've moved that routine has pretty much ended. I found it helped a lot with my frequent back pain so maybe I'll try to go back to it. Probably the most egregious thing in the class was that one time the teacher sat us down to watch "the secret". The great irony being that my mom believes in the main idea behind the secret, that "your thoughts have a direct, physical effect on the world around you somehow". I walked out of that class, I wasn't about to sit there and watch that bullshit, especially since my mom used manifestation/prayer/faith healing as an excuse to not get medical care she would benefit from. When it comes to yoga, you don't have to worry about Satanism or even Hinduism but new-age hippies, unfortunately. Thankfully, because it was a class at a community college, my teacher couldn't go all in with it, but I strongly suspected she wanted to given the things she said and movie day. If you want to take up yoga, but are also worried about being fed new-age nonsense, consider looking at community college classes. Since the classes are government funded the teacher has to restrain themselves somewhat. Or, if you're fine being more confrontational, you could go to studios and ask the teachers about their beliefs and how much they bleed into the class. I do think having a teacher is useful at first since they can correct your posture which helps prevent injury and make sure you're getting the most out of the poses.

I now want one. As a fifty year old woman with 2 adult daughters, Roman Catholic, suffers from Panic attacks, I need one in my life. This video cracked me up. Thank you😊 Emma. Keep doing you💖

My wife's first thought on seeing the thumbnail for this video was, "Of course Barbie's a demon -- her head turns all the way around." I don't know if it still does, but when my wife was a kid, Barbie's head DID turn all the way around. Does it still? Or do you have to get the "Satanic Cult Barbie" Steven McSteveington mentioned a while ago to get a Barbie whose head turns through 360 degrees? But what almost made me laugh my @$$ off (if I still had one -- I watched George Carlin and Richard Pryor when I was young) was seeing your tee shirt. We all need " A Happy-Go-Lucky Ray of F*cking Sunshine" in our lives!

Going to a Hindu based meditation center for guided meditations taught me how to stop ruminating about everything. Also Barbie doing mindfulness meditation would help lots of kids learn how to take a break from their thought and emotions. I bought my two year old a meditation mouse toy and she has fun following it. Thanks for the laughs and for calling out people with dopey attitudes.

Thanks for all you do, Emma! I also appreciate you taking time to quote the explicit text to help demonstrate how terrible it is. There is so much defense for the “good book” and Christianity because it is viewed as super moral. Absolutely not so - the book refutes it’s own perception.

Love how genuine you are, dont worry about the cringe, it adds to the experience.

Hi Emma! Newer viewer and subscriber here. Love your content! So funny to watch you cover this odd backlash from someone to Mattel's Yoga Barbie. I actually worked for Mattel for the past 2 years in the legal standards and practices devision and part of my job was to review video, packaging, and product to make sure there wouldn't be anything that may reflect poorly on the brand/receive public backlash or go against any truth-in-advertising regulations since children are highly susceptible to aggressive advertising techniques. I remember seeing this Barbie doll and not thinking anything of it. Seemed fairly harmless and if anything a very encouraging and uplifting product for children. Just goes to show that people will tend to find something wrong with almost anything. Thank you for making great content! Keep it up! :)

It also goes to show that she probably didn't have very many toys when she was just a little girl, so she's either jealous of the fact that other kids this day of age has toys or she doesn't have any children of her own or she has a big fear of dolls!!

I've learned from experience that believers think a lot of things are satanic. Apparently, pokemon and Ben 10 are satanic. I remember my mom burnt my shirt when the pastor told her and I went home shirtless

Teenagers being depressed and moody? Truly shocking! Surly, only demonic possession can explain this.

My younger sister had a Barbie that was possessed, its head would spin a full 360 degrees around and it would suffer no damage. If my G.I. Joes were missing, all I had to do would be go into my sisters room and look in her closet and find Possessed Barbie naked and doing "things" with both of my G.I. Joes which were fully naked. I decided to leave them and never went back....

@@5769434 Six of my sisters would agree with you. My other sister would rather eat tin foil than play with dolls. My two brothers use to sometimes play with them...alone...in their bedroom...for hours. When my sisters got their dolls back sometimes their clothes were on back to front...always puzzled me, that.

My understanding is that what is called "yoga" in the west (and to some extent in India) is only slightly related to historical Hindu practices or texts. For us, yoga usually means a particular understanding of ashtanga yoga, involving stretching and breathing exercises. This apparently scarcely existed at all in India prior to the early 20th century. But an enterprising fellow (I forget the name now) decided to borrow some exercises from popular European books of that era, slap some eastern-sounding names onto it, and launch it as "traditional yoga," which it was not. But he was highly successful. The popularity of these stretching exercises waned in Europe, so everyone soon forgot that that is where they originated from. What is really funny about this is that you can actually find scans of those original exercise books (I think they were Danish or Swedish), and the photographs in them look exactly like many "traditional" poses in ashtanga yoga. To be clear, this doesn't mean "yoga" is just exercises and breathing practices. In Hinduism there are distinct traditions of "yoga" but what that means is largely unknown to practitioners of "yoga" in Europe and North America.

this was the most hilarious thing I heard/saw in at least a week, thank you for that, Emma!

When I was a kid, I got a princess barbie for my birthday so I decided to turn her into an evil fire type devil barbie by colouring her dress red and black and gluing sparkling craft stones of black colour on the dress then colouring her hair red with black roots with a red and black marker. I really really liked the colour combo red and black. Then I made long bat wings for her using white cardboard box and painted it all black with some dark red shading. My barbie looked really cool and my parents didn't see any problems with it but my religious relatives came to our house one day and they told my parents to throw the doll away and I remember my mom getting in an argument with them and then those relatives never came back. We usually only see them during weddings or funerals other other relatives.

I laughed out loud three times when she was reading with the puppet that god awfully senseless post full of comically self-indulgent fear. It was just too fitting that the visually absurd puppet has no eyes and speaks with such brainless confidence (great puppeteering btw-the throat clearing was a nice touch).

I have found this fun, silly, and a little informative. Thank you.

I use closed captioning and in this video it blocks the last word on Emma's t-shirt. Totally changes the meaning 😅. I'm the same age as Barbie, we were both born in 1959. I may be old but I'm still in love with Emma ❤️. Keep up the good work.

I remember in 1966, in my 1st grade homeroom, a girl brought her Barbie Doll to school. She took her out, stripped off her clothes, and passed her around the classroom. The teacher was flabbergasted. Us kids were laughing our tail ends off!

As a woman with Indian heritage, I found this facebook post, borderline racist. And I don't throw the racist card that often. Yoga is a big part of my culture, and my family is from the catholic religion, in India. I find it deeply worrisome when Americans and the western world mock eastern practices, call them DEMONIC, and take them inappropriately and call them "theirs" like many do when it comes to meditation and yoga as well! Yes, you can practice non-religious yoga, but you cannot just take it and call it "yours" if you're not Indian. You can practice it and acknowledge its origin, or you can leave it alone and don't open your mouth. Thank you for shedding some light on this, Emma!

Honestly toys are important.. they can help you relax and de-stress. Hell I am in my 20s and recently got an scp 999 plushie, it goes EVERYWHERE I go beacuse I suffer from depression and possibly anxiety. And this cute little orange blob that always looks like it's ready for a hug, helps me calm down. Hell if anything could be counted as "SAtAnIc", that would DEFINITELY be the scp wiki/fandom, and no Barbie sadly isnt listed on that wiki XD. But in all seriousness, everyone including adults should have atleast one toy or stuffed animal...

Growing up, Mom saw Live and Let Die, and there was a scene with Tarot cards. Hey mother said not to, but she went out and bought a deck, and played with them while her mom told her how demonic it was. That night, unsurprisingly, she had nightmares about demons and the cards trying to kill her and such. She burned the cards and then told us kids to never, ever mess with the occult. The instant I left home, I started studying every other religion she forbade (including Catholics, which were just as evil), including diving into the history of demon worship and the quite-lovely Church of Satan. I have yet to be claimed by demons. This is the same woman that when I get 'twinges' of fear or what could loosely be called 'premonitions' to her but is really me worrying about someone, she tells me it's my 'old highland blood' and I should listen to it.

Your vids are so good and fun. Thank you!

I'm 63 and have a wall of guitars and a wall of dinosaurs and fossils, BTW, you are hilarious, thanks for the laughs.

22:50 Pretty much standard for christian parents. "I followed the rules and raised them christian but they're not happy, the devil must have got them." To be fair to the parents, they are themselves living in fear and acting on that fear when they try to force their children into their own religion but that doesn't excuse it, it only explains it and gives us a starting point to address the problem with parents who are willing to look at themselves critically. It's not exclusive to christians but a common problem I observed growing up among christians.

"You can't separate the poses from the [Hinduism]" just like you can't separate the cross from christianity, I guess? Tell that to some hentai artists... :P
