I really tried to let this go, but I failed.

David Deutch is the only commentator in this video that understands QM. I doubt seriously that he would approve of his edited remarks regarding the Multi World Interpretation of QM as support for the voiced conclusion that everything is connected. What a load of disingenuous shit. One of the main criticisms of the MWI is that the parallel universes do not 'communicate', so much for everything being connected.

This video is full of baseless assertions; woo peddlers hijacking metaphors used by scientists to help explain the incredibly complex mathematical formalism in QM.

You advised to take in the video with a pinch of salt. I could dehydrate the world's oceans and still not have enough readilly available salt with which to accept any of these claims.
