Turf Wars - Again

 https://youtu.be/JkpP-ObV5UY?si=MLR5sGLc2oLa-Acg

Zach announced this video on his Twitter channel, which may in part explain recent interest in my material.  Historically, instead of using these pages to awaken to how the whole gematria picking sports winners and even Presidents is hogwash, people with their own attention getting ideas look for dirt to attack Zach.  And as with the defection in this video gematria is not treated as being “wrong” outright, it’s just “weird and not for me.”

And that is perfectly fine, especially when there is a perfectly reasonable and logical counterpoint presented like there is here, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

I’m speculating that Zach has been busy trying to drum up followers for his ever changing group of Patreon subscriber griftees.  When he does that he starts getting push to have his followers try and spread the word to other truthers.  These people tend to talk among themselves because even a Joe Rogan personality doesn’t want anything to do with them for even a piece of a show.  So you get maybe a couple thousand people that get exposed to gematria for the first time and some might get hooked on the bait of making money gambling for just one season.

So in this video, the conversation shifts to if you’re from Zimbabwe, does gematria even affect you since it’s being done on English.  Now, the correct answer is that it operates the same regardless of language - it’s a dishonest attempt to manufacture fake evidence to support your talking point.  The talking point can vary but it’s usually sports or politics and once in a blue moon actually the original Biblical scripture use.  And when Turf Wars brew, there’s not an awakening.  The cult members already have training on push back since they get it all the time.  And in this, it’s.  Well the numbers are everywhere and the numbers don’t lie.

So I’d like to add my favorite counter to that for the Turf War.

Like you aren’t committed to English as the written and spoken language, there are loads of other numbering systems.  Just because base ten makes sense to us there is binary, base 8, hexadecimal, Roman numerals.  These get used for gematria.  It’s been awhile but there was a lovely little phase when Roman numerals were used as the English letters all willy nilly just to force narratives.

The real point is if the conversation started opposite - talking about numbering systems and Zach’s crony conceded it would have then switched to, “but the letters don’t lie” and maybe spouting a couple of the old chestnuts that make a little more sense than others.

It’s arguing for the sake of arguing.  Contrarianism for the sake of attention.
