Commentation Bias

There’s more to the story than just yesterday’s Stupid Comment Of The Day.  It was a precedent to more material on the friendly haven effect.  If you’re a truther, when operating under the low operating standard of “Do you agree with me (in principle) today? - Cool!”  And, “Do you disagree with me today? - Die heretic!”

I’m not going to repeat the screenshot from yesterday and you need to take the time to review more of the commentary to the Anthony Bourdain video for a better frame of reference.  At one point yesterday I had at least glanced at every single comment.  Here’s the way the friendly haven effect plays out over and over.

The Bourdain video has over 60k views now.  The next closest in number of views in the past couple weeks is The Death Of Kate Spade/Gordon Hayward/Organic Matrix video at about 1,850 views.  The reason for this is possibly that the video title for Anthony is the more clickbaity “The Ritual Sacrifice Of Anthony Bourdain”.  There are substantial more people than normal viewing this video that are not automatically part of the pro gematria clan.

Among the pro gematria crowd comments there is our friend from yesterday that doesn’t realize that dividing by two has certain basic mathematical properties like division by two.  These are ignored by the pro gematria community as everything, no matter how trivial or even outright wrong wins a cookie.  The occasional correction is rare and usually just leads to a substitution of one bs argument for the original ill advised argument.

As this video got more attention than normal the Gematrinator chose to spend his time defending against criticism with variations of “You don’t understand gematria, here watch my other video or read my blog and you’ll see my work is undeniable”.  In the unlikely event that any of these people waste their time on the other material it’s just more of the same.  Even if a comment so damaging isn’t deleted the atmosphere is one far too common by pseudoscientific woo peddlers.  My science is right, you’re science is wrong.  Die heretic!  And there’s not even one open minded pro TRUTH person that is skeptical or knowledgeable enough to point out that there’s nothing special about dividing by two.  I’ve come to expect that a trivial comment isn’t called out what it is.  But what they’re missing in the big picture is the gross injustice to actual science.

Oh that’s fair.  Our modern day science is bullshit.  Until it comes time to ignore misstatements about basic math or when it’s convenient to misquote the distance to the Sun or Pi. And yet, as big as the Gematrinator is on claiming that these are equations, like you would use in science this video has the pitfall built into it that won’t ever see the light of day.

SUICIDE=119
NOT SUICIDE=119
119≠119

Which with the very loose rules of being allowed to use multiple ciphers and changing numbers into other numbers happens all the time.

I’ll take understanding real science over being adored by mindless chuckleheads over my artificial self proclaimed to be science any day.

I’m not sure what is being used instead of “modern-day bullshit science”, but it doesn’t have any science at all in it.  In real science, you find out that you’ve reached a point that says 119≠119 and you go back to the drawing board and fix it or drop your hypothesis altogether.  Like that’s ever going to happen when the friendly haven is there to have people more clueless than you think you’re the best thing ever.
