Where could I possibly be going with this one? Of all things, this related to trolling and the concept of what I’ve declared to be reverse trolling. This is not limited to gematria, but applies to any crap video on YouTube where the argument has no basis in reality. And it’s why if you’re going to put yourself in a position where you want to express your displeasure that you should make it a one and done, simple comment or be prepared to play pigeon chess.
If you’re new here and you do want to leave a simple comment that has no refutation I highly recommend the antonym. There’s absolutely no defense to the simple fact that lots of words have the same value and direct opposite meaning. If you don’t want to spend the time being creative or researching for other antonyms, even if you aren’t directly confronted with a word that has an opposite you can use a couple that are constantly overused. Choose one or both of these two.
Christ=77, Antichrist=77
Dishonest, Bullshit, etc...=113. Truth, Veracious=113
Any story is manufactured by picking and choosing what small number meets the confirmation biased based or predetermined outcome of the storyteller. They simply refuse to accept how there’s no basis for arguing that 113 must mean dishonest and cannot mean Truth. The details are variable, but that’s all that needs to be said. Especially since the weakness of the claim that the use of the 113=Dishonest story is that in some form all of them acknowledge that some higher force, currently deemed to be some sort of Organic Matrix, is at work to explain synchronicity in daily life, solar eclipse rituals and other things outside the media. If they really, really, really think such a matrix exists and it gives a shit about how Truth and Bullshit both equal 113 then they are really stupid or crazy. You just aren’t going to get anywhere telling them that they are stupid or crazy.
Having spent a large chunk of my life as a department head in retail and having studied a bit of business law for accounting I’ve seen there is a common misconception of price tags and false advertising. Mistakes happen, and if a price tag or point of purchase sticker on shelving or pegged merchandise has an error on it the seller is by my no means obligated to hold to that price. If the discrepancy is small the seller will often hold to it as a matter of good customer relations. If it’s a whopper like a $500 leather jacket getting tagged as $5.00 then this is obviously not the intended selling price. And business law handles this well. Without going too deep into contract law, an offer has to have an offer and acceptance. The price tag is not an offer, but an invitation for the customer to make an offer which the merchant may accept or decline.
That’s the end of the price stuff.
A major attraction to gematria is the ability to appear as an expert with an argument that is so bizarre to the novice that you can rely on pigeon chess to attack the troller. They love it when they get to mock the sheep. The stories that aren’t directly related to racist, victim shaming or drugs are cool or whatever still may get that occasional “WTF?” attitude from the unlucky newcomer. They have practice being wrong. Lots and lots of it. They WANT you to troll; they’re inviting you to do it so they can turn the tables and get their jollies by muddying the waters with a dizzying array of different misinformation. Since a typical way to deal with trolls is not to feed them and encourage further trolling this is much the opposite. The pack will descend and bombard the troll until they give up and go away. And often spend a good bit of time mocking them in future videos, comments to those videos and blog posts.
Don’t feed the reverse trolls.
