python basics, booleans with Craig Dennis, minute 6:21 can you elaborate more: (False or False or True) and not

Not sure I followed you there completely but the not operator (!) is the opposite of what is typed.

TRUE = TRUE

!TRUE = FALSE

TRUE == TRUE is true

TRUE == !TRUE is false (this would be the same as TRUE == FALSE is false.)

When you evaluate it in an IF statement, by default, it is checking to see if your argument is TRUE. If it is then runs the code inside the IF statement. If it evaluates to FALSE then the code inside the IF statement is skipped completely.

In the below example the code will run because TRUE is equal to TRUE so the evaluation statement will return TRUE.

if(TRUE == TRUE):
     run this code

In this example the code will not run because TRUE is NOT equal to !TRUE.

if(TRUE == !TRUE):
     run this code

So here is where we get into the tricky bit, the "or" and "and" operators.
OR means any of the statements must be true.
AND means ALL of the statements must be true.

so..the following would run because TRUE and TRUE and TRUE all evaluate to TRUE

if(TRUE and TRUE and TRUE):
     run this code

This would also run because at least ONE of the statements evaluates to TRUE

if(TRUE or FALSE or FALSE):
     run this code

This would NOT run because none of the statements evaluate to TRUE.

if(FALSE or !TRUE or FALSE):
     run this code

Sorry for the wall of text there but I hope this answers your question. If not please let know and I will try to clarify.
