Numberphile is great if you’re interested in logic and math. Their older videos are best, so it’s a bit of binge watching if you’ve never seen them before. You don’t have to be great at math or anything. Every video basically starts from common logic.
If by any chance you’re interested in music, I can recommend Paul Davids, who is just another handsome guy with an acoustic guitar, but actually manages to dig deep down into both the theory and techniques of good songs.
If by any very odd chance you’d be into skateboarding as an adult, I’d recommend Jon Bishop, who is an old dude going through all the steps in a safe manner. The bonus is that whenever I watch any of his videos there’ll also be many good suggestions from that.
