The theory in psychology of denying your own shortcomings by attributing them to others. If you’re fat, ugly and a closet Miley Cyrus fanboy, by default I am not. Even though secretly I cherish my Hannah Montana memorabilia. How appropriate that many months ago critical thinking was a post title here, and as one of the greatest minds of the century passes away this commentary is thrown out on to the internet for reasons not fully known.
That pretty much nails the use of psychological projection, and if you think about how long this award has been offered you can get a good idea that it’s a staple in the truther toolbox. If you had a thimbleful of critical thinking ability you wouldn’t think gematria worked. Indeed, you are the one doing all the lying.
This could have been the plot of a Disney movie. Kids from the poor part of town throw together a quidditch team. Lacking direction they rally around their coach, a surly ex-marshmallows peeps addict who is won over by the kids and they in turn are won over by him. Then against all my odds and having to face their pampered, rich cross town rivals, the Gematria Mighty Mooks, in the finals they win the big game. This on a double feature from the makers of A Beautiful Mind about the life of Stephen Hawking who overcame a crippling condition to share his brilliance with the world.
And his legacy has this addition because he suffers from the limited option flowchart truther operate under. Do you agree with me today? No? Then you’re evil.
Go make an eclipse ritual and shut up forever. This is the adults only table, we’re not interested in your games during this period of grieving.

Speaking of eclipse rituals.
The factual error is supposed to be reserved for something like kratom legality which was posted about, by Hubbard. Then I say how it’s misinterpreted between use of the words “banned” and “illegal” or whatever. But I waited until today for the awards, and yesterday was a prelude to today about history and predictions for a reason.
What exactly was the big sacrifice that happened yesterday? As vague as the prediction was I don’t see anything really jaw dropping. That’s 0 for the last 3 or 4 if you don’t count “close enough” or lowering the bar on significance. So each individual prediction isn’t the type of mistake to win the monthly award. But for persistence, failure and topping it off with psychological projection about critical thinking it needs to be acknowledged. If you have to pick just one item of the steaming pile of logical fallacy failure, then the suggestion that Stephen Hawking was anything less than the brilliant and warm person he was is it.
