    If anyone's stuck on "There are Two Errors in the the Title of This Book", the first one is "the the". The second one is stating that there are two errors, while there is only one, which creates a paradox by infinitely confirming and disproving itself.

      He talks about this in an interview with this guy 'Lex Fridman' here on youtube, and more about youtubes algorithm and his views on it. He says "Usually im trying to do, what everyone else is not doing." Dont know the interviewer guy, but i saw this video and i watched it. Pretty cool seeing the other side of Michael Stevens, just talking about stuff and his views and having opinions, instead of just talking about facts.

    one of my mother's friends legally changed her name (from a somewhat common finnish name to another), because she didn't feel like she was quite the same person anymore. honoring the change within herself with a new name! i think that's really great, since humans are often afraid of change. being able to name yourself is part of your human autonomy! i think it's just excellent.

    "Kombucha" is another interesting gastronomic misnomer. The word actually comes from a totally unrelated Japanese kelp tea (that's literally what kombu/konbu cha means in Japanese). This name was misapplied by English-speakers to a very different kind of fermented tea from China.

    “Hey Michael, pass the salt, will ya?”
    “Etymologically speaking, the compound sodium chloride or the emotion known as anger? If you speak of the compound, I’ll delightedly hand you the salt shaker. But if you speak of the emotion that we call ‘anger’, you’ll have to provide me with a well-consolidated reason to be angry with you. But what does it mean to be angry? Anger is an emotion that we exhibit when we are discontent with particular circumstances that either directly or indirectly affect us. But what does it mean to be direct? Well, to be sure, directness is the quality of being the brunt of the repercussions produced from engaging in a certain action. Indirectness is the quality of being affected in some fashion, but not in the jurisdiction, per se, in which the certain action occurred. But what does it mean to occur? In a chronology, an event occurs when it takes place, when all other events currently taking place cease to be acknowledged and the magnitude of this particular event is deemed to be of a higher caliber than all of the other events. But what does ‘but’ mean? If we are discussing the anatomical region that is entitled as the gluteus maximus, then we need to just stop talking because this comment is getting really long.”

    My favorite misnomer is French Fries.
    The reason they're called that is that British and American soldiers fighting in the First World War were given a lot of fried fries.
    Now, they were fighting in Belgium and those fries came from Belgium, but given that everyone in the area of Belgium they were in spoke french, they thought they were In France, and named the fries after the french.
