==Personal life==
TheraminTrees’ identical twin brotherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE is QualiaSoup.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcw1YEtTQCw&lc=Ugguc8gIQgLVRHgCoAEC.7-H0Z7-1inm7-OpUEmVlX1 They have produced several videos together.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL37665B2AA610D13C Doctors told their parents the incorrect idea that, being identical twins, they would always lag behind other children. They scored consistently ahead of their age in reading and vocabulary.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE Their mother was a .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjZ3f-IXEXU&t=1574s
He is happy to be described as 'bi', but feels the most fitting description is “open.” He does not experience his sexuality as fixed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcw1YEtTQCw&lc=UgxSStwXu9DKcOpo_yJ4AaABAg
===Religion and deconversion===
TheraminTrees was raised as a creationisthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE&t=199s Christian.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE&t=90s On one occasion, he questioned whether Jesus may have had a stammer, and was slammed against a wall for blasphemy. At the age of eleven, he joined a Christian Union at school.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE&t=396s
In response to an essay, a teacher asked him why he held his beliefs. When he considered this question, he could not think of a good reason. He asked the Christian Union for responses, and did not find their reasons compelling. He had the same experience at church that Sunday. He could not find his own reasons for belief.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE&t=535s TheraminTrees then decided to read the entire Bible, and found a variety of contradictions and immoral teachings.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE&t=774s He also found problems with the notion of hell.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE&t=960s
After eventually losing his faith, he “genuinely thought [he] must be the only person on the planet” who didn’t believe in any god. However, he found out that his brother had also lost his belief. They considered the idea that religion was a test of reasoning, similar to Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. One Sunday in church, they both announced their atheism, and received an extremely negative response.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE&t=1259s Their parents eventually became more accepting of their atheism.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCkx6WQBE&t=1595s

TheraminTrees believes “we need to cultivate much more awareness of the psychological traps invisibly set within our own brains that keep us anchored in the negative.” This is the core sentiment that drives his YouTube work.https://www.patreon.com/TheraminTrees His first video, uploaded on December 23, 2008, is a metaphorical representation of his early life, reflecting several ideological conflicts. It uses cupboards as a metaphor for life.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAIpRRZvnJghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAIpRRZvnJg&lc=UgxHewnOcAKHZaReDoJ4AaABAg In 2020, a fake Twitter account was created, impersonating TheraminTrees.
