Many of these conspiracy theorists are mentally ill genuinely. I say this because my father is borderline psychotic and he expresses it with his world view. When he went on a tangent about adrenochrome, I let him say his piece. I didn’t interrupt, I listened, I tried to understand. Then I asked him calmly if I can provide another piece of data. That data was a link to a complete synth of adrenochrome and a link to a site to BUY adrenochrome from a chemical company for the measly price of like $40/g. This changed nothing in his mind. No shift in perspective. No reconsideration of the “facts” as he sees them. (Bear in mind my dad has a successful career and supports his family with an honest career. He is “normal” to society) That was when I realized his world view is unreasonable. Not unreasonable in the sense that he’s difficult to reason with. Unreasonable in the sense that he is “not comfortable to reason” which is the dictionary definition for unreasonable. Rather than reevaluate his personal view and consider concrete data, he just…doubled down. It’s one thing to believe child’s blood has special powers. It’s another to have your theory disproven and instead of find a new explanation or new theory, you just double down on the same one despite evidence?? That’s a deficit in critical thinking and reasoning capacity. Years later, I understand my father is mentally Ill and growing old. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is unable to care for himself 10 years from now. It’s sad, but also scary that so many “normal” people especially of old age are clearly mentally compromised and their higher thinking is at a deficit or compromised. 10 years from now I doubt my father will be “normal” like he is today. Thanks for your comment. Hope this made sense

@@rileymerson8781 That made a lot of sense-- well, as much sense as a discussion of conspiracy theory ever can. I'm sorry you're going through that with your father. It must be distressing to watch someone you are close to lose grasp on logical thought processes. I've started to think about different types of falsifiable theory recently. Normally, we criticize a scientific theory as "unfalsifiable" if it doesn't make any testable predictions. But I've noticed that many conspiracy theories are unfalsifiable in another manner: they make testable predictions, but their adherents refuse to consider falsification as a possibility. I don't understand the psychology of it. Perhaps it's the rush of knowing a secret truth, the pleasure of being part of a tight-knit community (of conspiracy theorists); combined with a disinterest in self-criticism and the dysphoric feeling of being proven wrong. There are some really really obviously wrong conspiracy theories out there, and some people who believe them no matter the evidence. But again--I don't really understand it.

But why ? I do understand why crystallization does improve purity thanks to the equilibrium of every species : X(solution) - X(s) and that considering the composition of the solution doesn’t change the solubility of the species that much. With carbon, you could write a similar equilibrium but I would have say that having a concentrated solution of A would favor A(adsorbed) over B(adsorbed) (with B an impurity, in smaller concentration), because the carbon would saturate itself with A ? So as a result you would loss as much of A than B and conserve the ratio ? Idk… I can’t think it right I guess but if you have an explanation it would be welcome !

Okay someone please explain the omniscient activated carbon. So many chemistry channels that have said the exact same line "add some activated carbon to get rid of some impurities". Never the same compound and I'm guessing never the same impurities. But still the carbon seem to know what to absorb. Is activated carbon the chemist equivalent to alternative medicine peoples colloidal silver? That it "knows" what you want to remove and removes it? Can someone please explain how the activated carbon always removes unknown impurities but never the actual chemical you are striving to purify?

@ZeroPlayerGame

7 ай бұрын

Activated carbon is good at binding with colored impurities. Can't tell you the exact mechanism as I don't know that level of chemistry, but yeah, it is quite promiscuous with its adsorption. Binds to a lot of stuff, especially stuff wit visible light color and ions, and if it doesn't bind to your product, it will pull a bunch of extra random stuff off. Really, solvent washing is not much different from that. Chemical reactions are a random process, you just try to select for the one compound you need. Were you to make the chemical that activated carbon would adsorb, you would simply not use activated carbon to purify it. Among those that you've seen on youtube using activated carbon, none were of that type because people generally know what they're doing. P.S. Maybe you should do at least a cursory internet read before assuming that a widely industrially and chemically used purification method is snake oil.

Its that simple of a molecule? Cool

I’m wondering if it would’ve been easier to just start from phenylephrine. It has everything except the 4-OH group. Idk how hard it would be to add that.

Methylamine is an organic compound with a formula of CH3NH2. This colorless gas is a derivative of ammonia, but with one hydrogen atom being replaced by a methyl group. It is the simplest primary amine.

Just out of curiosity, why did you censor methylamene?

Make sure to store it under an inert gas as the chemical oxidizes redily.

I assume you track the reactions by TLC? You could show it from time to time for the people that are either not familiar with typical laboratory work or are young and simply interested in how everything works. You could also do a video on NMR interpretation or GC/HPLC-MS interpretation. It is not as entertaining as synthesis but some might be interested. I think Mestrenova has a free version which could allow viewers to follow your steps on a predicted NMR spectrum since MNova has that feature.

Funny enough Hn Oh Oh OH! Is the sound you make while taking it

So distillation separation/filtering is a preferred separatory technique technique, because heat sources are cheap... But wouldn't solvent separation + freezing be another good one in some cases? higher temps = increased reaction rates, but dissociation in a solution a reaction; so I'd think if you want to halt reactions + separate, if you can be selective enough in freeze temp, then that would be a way to go. Just a thought.
