I totally applaud 1blue3brown's videos but for some reason, his approach leaves me more confused than ever. Long winded unnecessary visualizations, especially when animated, annoys me for a reason that I cannot explain.

Don't get me wrong, visualizations are powerful but I think I prefer static visualizations. Animations overload the visual system with "visual bloat", if you will.

Also, this video did not help me visualize higher dimensions. I prefer a simpler approach - just project down to 3 dimensions (or 4 if you add time at the risk of animating).
