Haven't watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word "amorphous"

He just saw the Matrix. He meant to say "a Morpheus".

Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

He likely meant "ubiquitous". Then again, with the wavy hands...

For those that know, is it normal for dementia-like diseases to drop cognition this fast? Is exhaustion exacerbating it?

My grandma crashed really hard, really quickly after her husband died. I don't know if it's the norm, but it can happen.

Nails amorphous, gets the concept of stove wrong.
