I was checking activity in the comments sections of Hubbard's videos. Heeeeeeee's Baaaaccccckkkk! Just one video. No blog posts, so that's not too bad. As for the video, which I didn't watch, I can tell that the problem is 72,391. Just kidding! It's 47! The realization strikes me. There's no need to make a full blog post or video. All the pertinent information can be packed into a 140 character Twitter post. Conspiracy, a couple of two digit numbers, send money. Voila! Done! And it leads to a catchy theme song.
Gloomy days, chasing the sun away.
On my way, to a conspiracyyyyyy!
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Tweet!

Now as for tonight's topic. Embrace the metric system. Love the metric system. Caress it, hold it close. Because in the global platform that gematria purveyors use there are a bunch of solid examples of gematria just not making sense. Metric system prefixes.
Our lazy Niptuck friends decided that the marriage between words and numbers are so important that a lot of words directly related to numbers do not have individualized gematria values. Any metric unit of measure can be preceded by known, accepted prefixes to indicate the magnitude so you don't have to write everything like, "North Korea dropped a 20 x 10,000 ton bomb on to the imperialist dog American aircraft carrier strike group yesterday.". So we have prefixes that indicate higher magnitude, mega, kilo, giga. And smaller, milli, centi, nano. Just slap on a -gram, -liter or whatever and you've got your word to gematrify.
My fourth favorite example is that the prefixes giga, hecto and centi all have a value of 84 in reverse. I do enjoy every opportunity to point out that this wasn't an issue until reverse ordinal was thought up.
Third favorite, terra and nano. Terra means a trillion. Nano is one billionth. They are the same value in simple gematria and since they are each four letters the same in reverse. So that means terabytes and nanobytes...any Tera and nano prefaced unit of measure has the same value. So that means a total difference in magnitude of 10 to the 21st power between words that have the exact same gematria. Which do you want to argue about first, 'close enough' or if the relationship between words and numbers is so important, why haven't the Niptucks made them different prefixes?
Second on the list is hecto and centi. They are the same in simple and reverse. It just so happens that the order of magnitude bigger by hecto is the same magnitude centi is smaller. Lazy, lazy, lazy Niptucks. Couldn't even bury this in oddball prefixes and put it in centi which is used all the time.
And hecto and centi lead to the best of the bunch. Deci and deka. These are also the same magnitude as each other in opposite directions. Did your superior gematria enhanced pattern recognition skills pick up on anything? Gromk the tiger recognizing caveman did. Like they both start with DE? That's why the magnitude is the same, because etymologically they have their root in the word for ten. That's how language works, not mystical forces trying to rig basketball games. The fact that CI and KA are the same gematria total is just a happy accident.
Wait a minute. Don't you mean DECA instead of DEKA? I got that angle covered, too. Because like a good scientist I did research instead of making a claim and saying that it's right just because I said it was.
Deca is the preferred prefix. Most sources on the derivation of deca will say something like "Deca (or deka) is..." Spellchecker and autocomplete recognize deka-words. Lists of metric prefixes recognize both and I found one rebel list that only recognizes deka-. More importantly is the wording of the derivation of deca-. It's the bastardization of the Greek deka-, which means since you referencing geometry and Pythagoras in the origins of gematria it has to count. Or we could just argue about alternate accepted spellings (e.g. indexes vs. indices) where I will challenge you to pick one accepted spelling for all alternate spellings, ahead of time, instead of PhraseShopping them in willy nilly to force the numbers to work to what you want them to be.
