Jematria Spelins Ar Impurtent

 


Yes.  I remember when you weirdos decided to make misspellings a cool thing instead of the display of ignorance it actual is.

It’s actually been a thing in the different cliques instead of just isolated to Qanon or the Zachosphere.  And the reason is the viral nature of outrage porn, not because of some virtuous desire to spell things correctly and even acknowledge that a mistake was made.

Diddy arrested.  All the gematria cult leaders put out a story ASAP.  Helene wipes out towns and the first death toll is reported ASAP.  Pete Rose dies and that’s worth one gematria story within the first half hour and a longer video within the first few hours.  And so on and so on.

As with billiards, sometimes speed kills.  And the rush to get a story out - mistakes happen.  And if the news outlets (gematria influencers) are deliberately putting out disinformation there really isn’t any quality control in place to fact check or make any minor editorial corrections like a grammar fix.  In their world, it’s more important to attack and deride fact checkers.  Hatred of those smarter than you is a primary quality in the target audience.

Gematria clique leader videos usually have a visual aspect where there’s a screenshot of the word and resulting gematriot with it.  If you don’t want to bother with the time to get a hot news story out right away?  Hop in your car and do the video while distracted driving.  Because that’s also a great role model type of thing to do.  You can trust that the mindless drones will type away if you hit on that keyword that’s part of your story.  And that leads to a funny little debunk about gematria.

Let’s pretend there’s a baseball player who was named Alburt Jones.  And his real name is with the “u” in Alburt instead of the more common Albert.  Your rushed story misspelled ALBURT = 74,20,88,43 as ALBERT = 58,22,104,41.  Absolutely no big deal at all.  Gematria is about never having to admit you’re wrong about anything.  Just issue a new story with the correct spelling.  All the new numbers by a remarkable coincidence also prove that Alburt was murdered by bloodthirsty Jesuits because he hit a home run one time back in the third year of his career or whatever.

But now extend the truther logic a bit further.  The leader was in their car and just spoke the name Alburt.  And dang it, you’ve just learned that misspellings are a clue.  They’re important.  It’s a magical sign like DONNIE TYPING IN ALL CAPS ON TRUTH SOCIAL that this is more significant than normal.  Deliberately being wrong is elevated to a higher level than actually being right occasionally.  So how exactly do you misspell Alburt?  Because there’s kind of an infinite number of ways to misspell it.  Some, like Albert, are more obvious.  Maybe Elbert is close enough.  Technically, OMPHALOSKEPSIS is Alburt spelled wrong, just really, really wrong.  Admit it.  You just looked up what that was and tried to find a match with ALBURT.  (If you assume that his nickname is BURT, the 61 matches.)  Isn’t being wrong all the time fun?

Possibly the worst case of rushing the stories is the mass shootings.  Far too often the shooter is misidentified and stories get put up by armchair sleuths and the wrong person is attacked.  And that person probably has other crap in their life to worry about like what’s wrong with their navel.
