I don't like that guy, because I regard it as bad idea to start a video 
with the name 'Einstein' and to wear silk pritend nonsense on a black 
t-shirt, while doing so.

I also dislike how that guy uses his blackboard, because it looks like a 
total mess.

I also dislike his sinister looks and how he makes gestures with his 
hands (like a socerer, who tries to teach flames how to burn).
