I'm sitting here wondering about the meaning of his terms Hardness/Softness and Black/White.

Does he mean orientation and rotation of electron? Like does it spin clockwise or counter-clockwise and is the orientation of the electron "up" or "down"?

That was pretty good, didn't think I'd watch it through. He ends saying that electrons are not weird, they just don't behave in ways that are intuitive. Too many people talk of quantum weirdness, putting a veil of mysticism over the whole thing. I find lectures like this satisfying because they force you to accept things which you don't want to accept (that classical mechanics don't hold at all levels).
