Unfortunately i can't. I've been thinking about spinors and related concepts as a hobby for maybe two years now. But i never found an explanation like mine above anywhere. Good geometric intuition about these things does not seem to be highly valued in physics education so people don't seek it. It turns out you can represent a dirac spinor (as the sum of left and right weyl spinors) extremely well just with your two hands. the dirac matrices simply tell you how to rotate your hands or mirror them (which you can do because you have two!). I should make a video about this actually...

sounds good, I've had a look at a few books but would be good to see something like that
