The majority of amateur attempts to prove the Collatz conjecture seem to go down essentially the same path. Since I went down this path myself, I thought I'd lay it out and dissect it.

Note: Youtube requires me to do a verification such that I can post a link to the paper I picked apart here. This process is not instant, and I haven't gotten to it yet. See my Bluesky or find me on Reddit for such a link.

Any sincere and relevant criticism/feedback is welcome. As are recommendations and requests.

Thank you for watching :)
