The Master Of Lack Of Critical Thinking

One of my common themes is the remarkable lack of consistency in application of anything resembling a rule to be followed. One time they'll spell out 2017 to 'two thousand seventeen.' The next time it's 'two thousand AND seventeen'. Here's numerology on a license that adds the numbers to the letter values. Here's the Korean KN-17 rocket on just the KN.


If nothing else, Dan is remarkably consistent on not understanding criticism when he's being mocked. Here's another one. In case any of my friends at T.A.S are tuning in I'll recap several past instances first.


1). Somebody posts a comment on an NBA video he made and used the word 'spurious.'. He immediately acknowledges he is not familiar with the word. Then proceeds to show he interprets this as a clue to do numerology on the San Antonio Spurs.


2). Dan's video on the Simpson's Indian casino episode. Someone jokingly suggests that INDIAN TAPESTRY must equal 666. He posts the comment on the blog and replied to it on his YouTube Channel that he has no idea what they are talking about.


3). Dan's favorite number is 166. It keeps turning up. Not understanding that based on values and average length of words that statistically it should show up often, especially when he's crunching through hundreds/thousands of words a week. I post a comment on the blog. Immediately, it's a clue! And it just so happens my name equals 166. To him it's marvelous synchronicity and part of the deep meaning of his life. When in reality it only serves to prove my point that lots of things equal 166. (e.g. TOY TRAIN SET, ICED TEA WITH LEMON)


And now the Simpsons' episode, $pringfield. Maybe it's a mental block about Simpsons and gambling since that's a theme in this one, too. Marge develops a gambling problem. Side story is that Mr. Burns turns into an obvious parody of Howard Hughes. Not only does Dan miss the point, he hears the word Freemasons and immediately thinks it's a clue. Burns has gone completely crazy. The writers decided on what would be a good example for a crazy person to do. Hallucinating, he envisions microbes on Smithers' face saying, "Freemasons run the country."


Another clue that he should consider thinking that what he does is nuts. And it gets the complete opposite result as he proudly posts the story on his blog.


I sure hope he gets around to the South Park episode sometime. That would be classic.
