Lmao I got recommended that too.
Made me mad watching it. What point was bro trying to make 💀
Something along the lines of "Math is separate from the human mind and since it can create infinite information, it would have to be outside of a finite universe, ergo God."
The problem is that Math is most likely a construct used to explain physical properties as opposed to being something inherent to the universe itself. That's why we can do crazy shit like negative square roots and have them still give reasonable answers despite the number itself being impossible. Just because we can create infinite information from a set of rules does not mean all that information is being stored somewhere.
You can't create infinite information from a set of rules. Kolmogorov proved that the true amount of information in a signal is the size of smallest ruleset to produce it. The rest is really just fluff, from an information science perspective.
See: Kolmogorov complexity, and the field of algorithmic information theory.
