The Isabella Has Cancer Scam

Or I suppose the more formal would be something like the Fake Tug At Your Heart Edited Comment Scam.  Here’s your viewing material:

Chalk this up to a long history of YouTube and all social media not caring about content moderation.  Any safety and security measures are lip service.  Bots are everywhere and apparently not just dismissed with a shrug of the shoulders and a, “Well what can you do?”, they seem to be embraced.  More clicks.  More views.  More likes.  More algorithmic sharing.

I already expect some of you are leaning into the defense that will be used if challenged directly.  “How dare you insinuate this poor, sick girl is not real you MONSTER!!”  Which is all part of the scam.  I’m gonna go on a little overdue side quest here to explain about what organized crime doesn’t get about long term macroeconomics and science.  If you are a bandit warlord, and you raid the village for food every day you run the risk of the village dying off and no longer able to create a surplus for your demanded tribute.  Substitute pizza shop in the run down section of town no longer able to pay the protection money.  If the shop has something go wrong, like unexpected medical issue for the owner, it could fold and therefore your protection money source is gone.  And if the neighborhood has a reputation for blood being squeezed from stones, you get an empty shop.  There are too many competing warlords.  All of them think they should be paid and the others should be ignored.  Instead of a shop owner sickness being the straw that breaks the camels back, now it’s climate change expense that will prevent economic viability on top of the tribute.  And science and human ingenuity can only go so far when one political party is dead set on breaking shit as much as possible and as fast as possible to get their tribute today.

And on to the actual scam… of course AI is involved.  All the fun stuff that makes life easier for scammers gets boosted.  In fact, I’ve known about Isabella for over a month now.  That in itself is one of the red flags.  At first I wasn’t going to say anything, there is a principal in complaining about grifters that you don’t give them extra oxygen.  Well, Isabella isn’t going away any time soon, so let’s go over the red flags.

My first experience was on a Veritasium video.  This one is from Kurzgesagt, their trademark cartoon bird shown in the screen shot.  Wildly popular, each individual getting millions of views.  Quality content aimed at the smarter crowd.  So while a lot of gematria type bullshit, how exactly do you trick smarter people into believing what you are up to?

Volume.  Mass mailing your Nigerian prince email.  And then let the suckers come to you and prove they are suckers by biting at the bait.  You don’t bother wasting your time with a gematria video that has a couple thousand views on a good day.  You get one that has millions and see who bites, like subscribing to your fake channel.  Although the people dumb enough to be involved with gematria are a higher percentage chance of falling for stupid shit, the volume more than makes up for it.

That’s a bad sign that this comment is a month old.  In theory YouTube could have noted the suspicious nature.  In theory Kurzgesagt could have someone moderating and deleted it as soon as things turned weird.  But there it is.  Clicking in to Isabella’s channel- the same video story, the same picture as was used with the Veritasium video from before.  There’s no doubt in my mind the picture is fake.  At best it was hijacked from somewhere else.  It’s more likely completely AI generated.  Isabella and her doctor are both pretty.  Indeed, for a little girl DYING of cancer, not just being treated for it, Isabella looks pretty darn good.  It’s strange to see a girl dying for several months minimum look that fine.

And the video, the last video the dying girl will ever make, is actually 4 months old and from a different channel than Isabella’s personal channel.  The same video as when I found her through Veritasium.  Playing some very kiddish video game hike narrating with a voice that sounds…robotic.  No updates from concerned parents or other family.  Exceptionally noteworthy is nothing from this other sister that the diary is shared with.  And Isabella’s channel was created June 3rd, 2025.  To house one video and one video only from 4 months ago?!?  🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩🚩

And the comments are insane.  There’s an obvious mismatch between what the responses are compared to the comment.  A comment that has plainly (edited).  That’s how this works.  The bot says something early, possibly deeply relevant to the video.  (The Veritasium comment was about church architecture and changed to dying of cancer.  And that was on their “Most dangerous building” video from two months ago.  I did report that one and it’s gone now.)  Then the switch, the poor little girl dying of cancer and after racking up likes and replies this weird mash up of twisted commentary is left behind.

And some of the commenters KNOW this is fake.  This guy (Isabella must have used a different picture) is about to talk about cancer.  They’ve seen it before.  And at least 63 people upvoted that comment, likely because they’ve also seen it before.  For a little girl dying of cancer, Isabella sure gets around to posting comments on videos a lot.

Also note that the playing the game on the “last video I’ll ever make” video is locked down from commentary.  The author doesn’t want some goody two shoes to spoil the comments by pointing out the scammy nature on the one piece of material that took some effort to create.

As for me not being the monster I would expect to be painted as, well good luck having pediatric cancer advancements in the near future.  Tax cuts for the wealthy don’t mix well with pediatric cancer funding, hurricane warnings, on the job safety, education including funding for public broadcasting, etc….  These things are going to be gone sooner than you think.

Welcome Back, Lack of Truthseekers

https://youtu.be/f4u62mbibqI?si=ki6CrqaXKhlDWoSN

The linked video is an example of the kind of Epstein content that my YouTube algorithm feed throws at me.  I’m not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it.

1). It brings up how an actual conspiracy is occurring that it involves the rich and the powerful doing whatever they want.  Because of course they can just pay their way out of any corner they’re put in.  In contrast, and this will reappear later in this post, conspiracy gematria as conspiracy theory lite stories focus on “made up shit”.  Things that aren’t really things like a cabal rigging sports games down to the second and school shooting crisis actors.  The working class talking points that make gematria deciders feel important doing investigative journalism that uncover how ordinary people are part of the secret instead of just the actual conspirators involved in the coverup.

2). People that fall for conspiracy theory content continue to not process contradictory evidence even remotely close to being a valuable voice in an adult conversation.  They’re weather vanes, changing directions completely at the whim of their leader, even if it means the leader has reversed course without a caveat of admitting that what was said before was wrong.

Epstein is big news right now.  Few things would give me more pleasure than to not have to read any more about it.  The idea that something so heinous went on for so long is disturbing.  And since conspiracies do not keep to one side of the bipolar political spectrum there’s content from both camps.  And what makes this story different and gives it some staying power it has is that there’s a common ground.  Release the files.  Hold the monsters accountable.  Finally, something resembling a line in the sand that some MAGA folk can’t stomach to be part of anymore.  And those that remain loyal still have to toe the line and support the king.

Starting at about the 14:45 point of the linked video, these are the conflicting stories we have to contend with:

1). The story is true because Clinton and the evil Democrats are all involved, while the Republicans are pure as the driven snow.

2). It was made up and AI used to make fake news stories to make Trump look bad in the run up to the election.

3). There’s definitely something newsworthy here and the current regime is going to release all the info.

4). There’s nothing to see here, stop talking about it.

5). It’s back to fake news created by Obama, Biden and Comey.

It’s one thing to contradict yourself years apart.  It’s obvious that something weird is going on when the story changes within a matter of days.  And if you’re a “Truthseeker” you really ought to stop being such a pussy and try to figure out the truth about what’s going on.  At least with the gematria aspect, famous for being able to spin the story supported by fake evidence of tiny little numbers, you should be able to muster up some kind of gematria decode for one of the conflicting stories.

But, since it was always about money instead of “truth”, there aren’t old stories.  There wasn’t any huge trove of Epstein content, detailing how important it was and how it would continue to be important.  I searched for ‘EPSTEIN GEMATRIA’ on YouTube and the too hit of actual gematria and Epstein was a six year old video from the time when Epstein was arrested.

 

 Then there’s a couple of videos from recent days and a one year old video of Zach’s.  Most of it is Epstein content without gematria.  And all told there’s hardly any concerted effort like spreading the Kobe Bryant death story to show anyone keeping at it and recognizing how important the Epstein gematria was and would be today.  A six year old video with 155 views.  Then there’s outrage porn is out of the news and disappears even though essentially (supposedly) the magical predictive code had a lot of solid leads.  The gematria “truthseeker” community was too busy and incompetent to do anything but talk about what Alex Jones and his crisis actor false accusations was promoting.

Psychological projection at its finest.  Keep accusing others of what you are doing and it can come back to haunt you.  Well congratulations boneheads, you got whipped up into a frenzy about Constitutional rights while caring more about the economy and now you don’t have either.

Superman and Independence Day

I don’t remember and don’t care to check if I did or never got around to it.  But it’s been a blur.  It’s hard to keep up with all the casual cruelty, and the “business as usual” doubling down by the perpetrators.

I’ve always been the black sheep of the family and never big on get togethers and celebrations.  Hanging around a few people in my immediate family I care about.  Never knowing if one of the others is a potential problem, just waiting to explode.  Better to just not go, or it least have a ready excuse to leave ASAP.  Fortunately, for the past several years if there has been a get together for the 4th of July I haven’t been invited.  And I think it’s more likely that there wasn’t even one.

What I do like to do is to take my dog for a walk.  And it’s because of the new Superman movie that these thoughts bubble up to the surface again.  And we'll get to that soon enough.  And I’ll even take a break here to point out that there will be spoilers.  So get ready to skip after this if you can’t handle that.  

So, because of fucking climate change, if I’m going to walk my elderly dog it’s got to be early in the morning.  Which just like a 4th of July barbecue not happening suits me just fine.  Less contact the better.  And as I went on my roughly four block route, my superior pattern recognition skills noticed something.  An extreme lack of flags on display.  Three in total which included two at the same residence.  Two houses out of dozens.  Whether it’s a repeat or this is the first I mentioned this:  There’s no longer a need to display the Confederate flag as your symbol of hate.  The standard Stars and Stripes will do just fine.  And the double downers are maybe a little more cautious in public with the overwhelming evidence that something is seriously wrong with this administration.  And the incorrectly labeled “loony leftists” don’t want to be instantly associated with… those other people.

SUPERMAN
Remember, spoilers.  Lots of them.

I’ve read a lot, mostly cheap horror novels in abundance.  And spy novels including big names like Ludlum, MacLean, John Gardner’s Bond  But my real passion is film.  Movies either served as my escape from what was my escape from the cruelty and injustice of the world.  Where the good guys win in the end, precisely because it doesn’t happen enough in real life.  Either the escape, or movies with a commentary on culture focusing on the current issues.  Think of it like an hour and a half to two hour long version of some Star Trek TOS or TNG series where they sneak in a message about racism or the no win proposition of war.  Think…you know the word…woke.

I wasn’t necessarily planning to watch the new Superman in the theater.  At least not until I heard about the right wing uproar over it.  That made me say to myself, “Oh hell yeah, I HAVE to see it!”  Like a blog where you can immortalize your thoughts a movie is a combination of seeking profit and the opportunity to relay a message.  Successful movies do both.  Come to the theater to watch Barbie, leave laughing and if you’re paying attention you might just finally have your pattern recognition skills pick up on the message about the evils of stereotypes.  Unless you’re more into doubling down and trolling on the internet because you think Kevin Sorbo has more relevance.

James Gunn has pretty rapidly acquired a deserved reputation for knowing what he’s doing.  Guardians of the Galaxy was heavy on the quirky escapism and a surprise hit.  Would that be what was going on with Superman?  It’s difficult to believe the fascist furor would be over that.  There must be a message.  And Gunn leaned into it.  He leaned into it fucking hard.

Sure there’s escapism, hell it is Superman after all.  But traditionally Superman and Captain America have been popular for escapism as well as being firmly anti-Nazi.  Lex Luthor, a well written for the first time and a very believable Luthor, is clearly all about the money and power.  <Trump>.  There’s a war between officious countries boiling over.  Funded by Luthor, the aggressor not above committing human rights violations, and the poorer neighboring country just trying to survive.  <The US, Ukraine and Russia.  Or maybe Israel and Palestine.  Or maybe both>.  Krypto the dog is a bit of an asshole.  But Superman loves him more than he’ll admit and gives himself the excuse for modesty by having promised his cousin Supergirl that he’d take care of the mutt.  <Cooperation and empathy>.  Superman’s Kryptonian parent’s message get’s twisted and weaponized against him.  <Social media influencers suck -but see below>

And loads of other little stuff along the way to remind you that this is the right Superman to address Summer of 2025.  The Superman we need now, and more.  A movie so woke that you may need to really think about flying your flag and if you’re doing it for the right reasons.

The Supergirl reclaiming the dog bit is an epilogue to provide some last comic relief after good, of course, triumphs over evil.  But there’s one last tear jerker moment to follow.  Artistic license gave the writing team a chance to tweak the origin story.  The original story is the planet Krypton is dying. Supes parents send him away to save him.  In this version, that’s not quite the reason.  He’s given a message from his parents that he was sent to Earth to…. and the sappy first part about how they adore him breaks off.  The real message which didn’t even need to be lied about was he was better than Earthlings.  He should easily be able to subjugate them with his powers.  But since he was raised right by human parents, he doesn’t know this.  He grew into being a good person, nurtured properly with love instead of a quest for power and money just because he could do that.

An early scene shows the Kryptonian parents half of the message as inspiration for Supes to heal.  Later the damaged message is restored and this crazy powerful god among mortals has self doubt.  Later when in need of a hiding place Supes returns to his human parents for love.  And coming full circle at the end Superman has rebuilt the earlier damage to his Antarctic Fortress of Solitude, the robo-nannies ask if he wants to hear if he wants to hear his parents message.  Oh yes, please.  And the play the clips from his earthly parents.  The ones that supported him and nurtured him and he now realizes his Kryptonian parent’s message was irrelevant.  He grew into a good person because he always was a good person.  He just needed a push in to the right direction.

And wrap it up with a nice end credit scene.  Very brief, very simple.  But you get the point.

He’s fine.  Superman is doing just fine.

Decode It!!

 

A long, long time ago, kids had a special treat that is missing from the lives of children today.  Breakfast cereal, promoted as healthy because the sugar was fortified with vitamins, would have a little toy surprise inside.  Usually a cheap piece of plastic something or other that had a theme related to the commercials that were airing at the time.

One such toy was some sort of junior spy gear related to decoding.  A decoder ring.  And while the smarter kids (the kind that snooped for Christmas presents and pretended to be surprised on Christmas morning) were doing actual spy work - retrieving the toy and reinserting the cereal back in to the box with nobody being the wiser, “normal” kids would pretend to be secret agents for a bit.  Or at least part of the squad of characters on Scooby Doo.

Well those kids that had their decoder rings.  They are probably smarter than modern gematria practitioners.  And it’s not because it should be hyphenated as “end-times”, it’s because the approach of conspiracy gematria is all wrong for obtaining anything meaningful.  It’s reverse engineering, a target number is presented as having some significance.  And instead of “decoding” anything it turns into a child’s game of forcing random shit to equal other random shit.  It’s emptying the cereal box in the trash can to get the prize and walking away feeling proud of your quick fix for a couple of hours.  If that long.

The 471 views of that phrase is misleading.  There’s got to be some bot astroturfing going on there.  Although less awkward sounding then I recently posted about numbers larger than two or three digits, you get the sense that overall that exact phrasing is unlikely to appear in the wild more than a couple times.  Gematria’s practice of phraseshopping, nearly infinite substitutions being perfectly allowable, leads to a lot of wiggle room.  Maybe call him DONALD Trump instead of just Trump.  Maybe skip SICK and just call it sadistic.  Skip calling him paid and just an actor.  And it’s the reason you’re not decoding anything.  Random phrases yielding random results.

As conspiracy theory lite, gematria has a function in the “turn you into a politically polarized zombie” pipeline.  Regardless of your party affiliation you can substitute the polar opposite into your story.  Then tweak a couple of words, maybe there’s a nice synonym out there.  And nonsense respecting I’m Just In It For the Money politician will ever hear about it and request that you stick to real evidence and pesky facts.  Having an adult in the room to talk effectively about trade dealings and war in Europe and immigration policy, these things don’t matter so much anymore.  The children don’t want or need to be told, “Stop wasting cereal to get your shitty plastic decoder ring.  At least be clever enough to get it back in the box instead of dumping it down the trash.”

But gematria isn’t done proving that it would prefer to do a bad job of pretending to get the cereal back in the box, unnoticed.

Because I found that phrase in social media, this morning.  And as documented at the top it was there in all its lengthy and arbitrary glory.  And then immediately ratified on its level of meaningfulness with the Gematrix.org recap of that phrase with

Decode It

Stuck in front of it.

One of these days I need to spend some serious time on matching the gematria of DECODE with its opposites like RANDOM BULLSHIT.

It’s a bold attempt to look cool, to put your phrase out there in the wild and then immediately show the gematria of a slightly different phrase.  And without providing us with matches for 3504 to get context it’s also impossible to assess why 3504 meant something today (or yesterday).  The bullshit is apparently so random that not even the author of the bullshit is able to share the significance of the bullshit.  I’m reminded of one of Zach Hubbard’s old cronies, Jake.  Who would take a news story and then add spy words to it to force the gematria into triple digits.  “SIGNAL DECODE blah blah blah = 888” and such.  At least we had more context there, since its placement was always adjacent to, “join a Patreon and lose money on sports betting.”

Insulting Your Intellect - Gematria and Larger Numbers

 

That’s the proper use of gematria on social media.  You don’t actually do the gematria, you just reference how in the manner it’s practiced by bad actors it ends up being complete gibberish.  And the following is a recap of how astroturfing by MAGA trolls has helped put a gang of incompetents in power.  Instead of actual adults in the room negotiating peace treaties, trade deals, bipartisan legislation or anything meaningful, we have gibberish speakers dumbing down the content to own the libs and keep the base riled up.

It’s fairly well known that conspiracy gematria has a fondness for rather small and therefore insignificant numbers.  As much as they would love to have a genuine example of finding a lengthy Pi match to a large number of decimal places:

31415926535897323846

Like Chief Keef would say, “Ain’t Gonna Happen”.  That number is WAAAAAYYYYYY too fucking big.  The vast majority of gematria, the useful range is two and three digits.  Even four digits is pushing it for them.  That usually requires some form of cheating instead of a straight up type the word into the four base ciphers and see what happens approach.  So when I saw the % quoted in that Bluesky post I allowed my curiosity to wander and see exactly what kind of gibberish Gematrix.org had available.  At Gematrix you can type in a number and have it spit out search results of words and phrases, sorted by the frequency of the searches.  And for 13618 we get a result of, “That number is waaaaayyyy too fucking big.”

Qanon trolls have put this phrase near the top of the 13618 search results.  Most likely it was searched once and then Gematrix has an algorithm that randomly goes through adding on bogus searches.  Second most likely is that it was someone repeatedly searching for this phrase for some idiotic reason.  But, I can promise you that in the over 200 searches for that, there’s no fucking way two people independently decided to misspell FORTY and all that other crap to perform some magic gematria ritual.

A perfect example of gematria as a rabbit hole entry point.  You might get drawn in to an echo chamber with an offhand decode.  Then dismiss it as nonsense.  But tell me more about this celebrity death ritual, anti-trans stuff and racist shit I like to hear about.  And holy crap I can win lots of $$ gambling on football?!!?  (No.  No you won’t.)

They, in theory, could have spelled forty correctly.  In theory they could have used the correct Qanon slogan of WWG1WGA.  And in theory they could have substituted a more well known synonym for “vitiates”.  Then just alter some of the other gibberish to hit 13618 if that was the goal.  But astroturfing doesn’t need meaningful content.  Just engagement, and the more random hits the better.  The more fake traffic on a site the better for the algorithms.

Yes, the cost of your groceries is in part higher than it should be because of complete gibberish.

Rabbit Hole Entry Conspiracies

As a part of the dying middle class I’ve had the opportunity to engage with a lot of people on both sides of the wealth line.  Fortunately neither too much of the ultra wealthy or the ultra poor.  This works well for me because I have no desire to hang around anyone that admires wealth for the sake of wealth.  (8 people have more wealth than the bottom 4 billion people.). The manifestation of interaction in non internet life is mostly working class living paycheck to paycheck one medical bankruptcy away from poverty and better off people whose education is outdated compared to current social trends seeking to maximize what their savings does.

And that second class of better off, older (late boomer and early Gen X) people has proven to be surprisingly susceptible to RW propaganda.  They just don’t “get” how things have changed and the deliberate breaking of things to keep them interested in Fox News style ideas that don’t work are a fantasy.  They genuinely believe that if their investments don’t earn passive income of six figures a year, the poor people are stealing from them.  And these are the mid level of the conspiracy theory pyramid.  They’re the business owners, bank vice presidents, dentists, and doctors.  Smart enough to know the Earth isn’t really flat.  But if going along with rabbit hole entry conspiracy theories like flat Earth and gematria, it’s for the greater good if the evil intellectuals are brought down a notch.  Susceptible to the new outrage porn like furries using litter boxes, immigrants eating pets, and tariffs on islands with no people are OK.  All not real things.  All not challenged for being ridiculous even though they should be.

No amount of picking yourself up by your bootstraps can generate everyone having passive income that grows beyond working years and then gets passed on to the next generation for EVERYONE.  That’s classic Ponzi scheme thinking.  That’s how those 8 people get more and more wealthy by not actually generating any real value to society.  The ultra wealthy know how to break things real good and don’t mind, and even help purposefully generate, stock market crashes.  Call it a correction and someone who had a million dollars saved up will get back to where they were after a couple of years.  Never realizing or acknowledging that someone with an extra 1000 to save up can’t afford to have that wiped out because their car needs repaired.  Morale at the workplace is epically low.  Mental health in general is epically low.

These things are not new.  And as great financial powerhouses come and go the format remains the same.  But this time is different.  It’s a lot closer to the end of the Bronze Age and how natural disasters added to societal pressures and upended everything.  And that’s because of our old friend climate change.

The anti-science/anti-intellectual in the U.S. before the Cold War was over.  We got over the Great Depression with leadership making policy that actually worked.  Enter the rich assholes ruining everything.  Privatize education.  Return education to the wealthy.  Promise the middle class a future that there’s no way is going to happen.  At least not in the manner presented, free money for all and a life of luxury for all.  Someone, somewhere, is being exploited.  Education too expensive after privatization.  Education ruined by insistence that religious indoctrination is more important than science literacy.  Complacency about children getting shot at school.  Education ruined, ✅.

Now we have a large swath of working class people that are willing to believe that rabbit hole entry conspiracy content is real and meaningful, which it absolutely is not.  It’s not enough to just promote it, you are supposed to actively attack the people who are smarter than you.  “Shoot that messenger” with the right answer.  Be that scorpion that stings the frog giving you a ride across the stream.

There’s always been a movement away from science literacy.  Fringe ideas that don’t do any harm by belief in them.  If you think the Earth is flat and it’s not it’s not going to change the effects.  Your plane will still land.  Your phone’s map app will still work.  Gravity will still work.  No need to burn scientists as heretics for speaking about what actually is going on.

If your gematria decode leads you to believe your neighbor is the Antichrist, it might be bad for him and you if you get carried away.  But it doesn’t actually make him the Antichrist.  A counter decode can easily be made to prove you are the Antichrist, not him.

Getting into astrology isn’t going to change that evolution did stuff that made the world what it is today.  Belief that energy from the Aether isn’t going to change the skin color of people in other countries.  Buying healing crystals isn’t going to affect space junk building up in the atmosphere, asteroid impacts, or solar flares.

Not directly.  But those same people who think money grows on trees, they have massively misunderstood that this is the new age.  The new age of climate change economic distress.  The new, The Party Is Over Age.  Where dealing with a global virus epidemic is a walk in the park in comparison, economically.

I’ve noticed a distinct lack of American Flag flying where I live.  Either like me embarrassed at how massive numbers of people have allowed rich assholes who obviously have nothing but there own wealth and power to get to this level in stark inequality, or fans of them (still) who subconsciously recognize the Stars and Stripes has replaced the Confederate flag as a symbol of hatred.  This is not communism, conspiracy, welfare queens, immigrants or whatever scapegoats are dreamed up in the future.  It’s reality that no amount of gematria style prediction after the events are over will change.  Wealthy people get that way by deregulation, not paying their bills, and not cleaning up waste products.  Just because you are wrong about the investment Ponzi scheme, your children, everyone’s children, has to put up with what comes.

Gematria Genius Spotted

 

Taking to social media to announce your intelligence is an art form not elevated to its maximum capacity by huge swaths of people.  In the early days of conspiracy theory related gematria it blossomed with the new recruits having found something alien to the “normies”.  Instead of monopolizing the conversation at Friday Night Happy Hours at Joe’s Bar and The Grill Is Still Broken, you can throw out some fancy sounding schlock and get away with being as pretentious as you want.  The mere mention of gematria was cool.  It was hip.  And even if you didn’t wow all the mates in the echo chamber you were at least due an Attaboy!^TM from your cult leader.

That is, unless the plan is to become a cult leader of your own.  You may need to acquire a niche, and learn even more how to sound like an intellectual harass.  You may need to cultivate an entire alternate personality and stick with it.  Now, we aren’t here, yet.  No this one hasn’t yet flooded Bluesky with “interpretation of semantic gematria” lingo.  But this is a great start.  What that means (besides, “Look how smart I am!”), is something like, it’s not just that two words like DINGO = 86 and OOZING = 86, you have to dig in to the etymology and really analyze the connections.  Translation - you need to learn to cherry pick and focus on the hits and ignore the gazillion misses.

But as much as I’ve pretentiously whined about this persona cultivation this isn’t really all about that.  And actually it’s not even talking about analyzing instead of just fucking around and finding two immensely disparate words like dingo and oozing with matching gematria.  After all, instead of analysis we have one number and one word.  187 and echo.  No, gematria requires knowledge of words including their etymology and NUMBERS.  And within the timeline this genius has linked a video of Neil DeGrasse Tyson discussing dividing by 0 and other smart person math stuff.

And has gotten two likes for his efforts.  For proudly announcing 187 is prime when it’s not.

I was a young teenager when I learned the pattern recognition shortcut.  A three digit number, if the middle digit is the sum of the two other digits it’s divisible by 11.  11x17=187.  And for good measure let’s throw in that apparently ECHO doesn’t even equal 187.

Educating the youngsters of today for future leadership tomorrow.  The resume booster.  I told people on social media that 187 is a prime number and got two likes.  Please give me the nuclear codes.
