First lecture of MIT 6.00, an introductory computer science course taught in Python by Eric Grimson and John Guttag. It covers the goals of the course, what computation is, and data types, operators and variables.
HN commenters recommend it as a simple, direct entry point for beginners who want to learn computer science, not just programming.

Make the entire Internet your mentor. It's filled with information and answers to all sorts of questions. Look at some programming tutorials such as codecademy. Maybe find some books on computer architecture, learn about mathematics that might apply to computer scientists. Here are some links to get you started. link link link link link link link Also, learn to use YouTube to search for answers. Check this video out. ▶ this video
I've really enjoyed watching the MIT 6.00 course (Introduction to Computer Science and Programming): ▶ this video The Khan videos seem to be about programming instead of computer science.
Here is an MIT Course: Introduction To CS and Programming ▶ this video Professor keeps everything simple and direct because this class is designed for beginners with no or little programming experience.
Here's the MIT OCW index for EE and CS courses: link Here's the MIT OCW index for 6.00 w/ Grimson (2008): link Here's the first video lecture on YouTube: ▶ this video I should mention this is a really good (IMHO) CS course that happens to use Python.
