Keeping with the recent theme, it’s time for a semi-regular reminder about the nature of gematria in theory and in practice. Updated from its early days about 10 years ago to what’s going on now.
Then
It was off to the races. Decades of the education system being dismantled. Decades of selling “The American Dream” as the goal to prove your worth in society. A romantic partner (ultimately returning to the opposite of the gender you were born as), a family (ultimately returning to your own genes creating the kids instead of adopting someone of the wrong skin color), a house (ultimately returning to something newer generations can never afford), a picket fence because a little quaint nostalgia needs to kick you in the ass later in life when it all goes south, and a puppy or kitten or both (ultimately returning to another abandoned shelter pet that can’t be afforded). The math for the more ordinary people didn’t work without both parents being employed. The time kids were at school was a sort of cheap day care. And as the school boards were filling up with ultra conservative types believing more in prosperity gospel than vaccines, climate change, or the basic laws of physics the lack of real thinking was downplayed in favor of bullying those around you into recognizing you as the alpha in the pack. And the more money you had was the proof that you deserved to be that top dog.
Entering into the fray we have the Alex Jones types of the world. Where screaming as loud as possible about the evils of the world is the best way to get a podcast up and running. Because railing against the wealthy elites and sucking your audience dry to make you wealthy being contradictory makes all kinds of fucking sense. It’s only natural, whether it was gematria or some other scheme, that someone like a Zachary Hubbard would arise. Where being AN EXTREMELY LOUD, CONDESCENDING DOUCHE BAG is the leader of a “community”. And god I hate to use that word community to this day, because the ultimate goal is that nobody, absolutely nobody else, was supposed to have any actual role in the community. The rhetorical style clearly shows that when he says, “I’m the only person that matters in the truth community!”, he means it. Everyone else is just throwing out free advertisement for the king. Sure, you might get a lot of Attaboys!TM thrown your way early on, but as soon as you challenge Cartman’s authoritah you WILL be put in your place. You retard, you. Did I mention the condescending rhetoric yet?
As the greatest example of conspiracy theory light content, gematria fit in well with all the so called truth seeking community activity. The fundamentals, the actual creation of matching gematria was so easy a moderately smart person could do it. And those moderately smart people weren’t getting the proper intellectual stimulus and looking for an outlet. And that outlet was the leaders (another word I hate using since it’s a misnomer) in the so called truth community needing to be AS LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE DOUCHE BAGS GET MORE ATTENTION. And that’s why the Internet isn’t such a great thing. There’s more money to be made faking a quick fix to financial problems than by trying to catch up for decades of educational neglect with teaching people to actually think for themselves. So the topics presented were the most lurid possible. Just copy what Alex Jones and other loud mouths were talking about. Did I mention the condescending rhetoric yet?
As I’ve proven above via my gematria calculator screenshots, in theory one could use gematria to spread a nonpartisan and friendly narrative. And holy fuck could the world use a little getting along and cooperation right now. The triple match, according to most gematria “standards” (yet another word I hate using in this context) should be compelling standing alone. Imagine what someone with my high level of gematria expertise could do given the time to flesh it out with more magical connections. BUT THAT’S NOT OUTRAGE PORNY ENOUGH. In case, dear sheeple, I forgot to mention the condescending rhetoric yet, you need to pick topics that are as belligerent as possible. Crisis actors in school shootings, every celebrity dies by ritualistic pagan sacrifice, covid is a hoax and don’t you dare make me get a vaccine that might save someone else’s life. Did I mention the world needing a little more cooperation yet?
Now
Well we really did it. Now we have political leadership that doesn’t just not call out the lack of cooperation and condescending rhetoric (if I haven’t mentioned that yet), it embraces it. It employs it. It abuses the power at every chance. Because there’s a lot more money in insider trading on a broken stock market than by passing cooperative legislation that might, oh, maybe lead to kids not getting shot and killed at school? Yes, we really did it. We’ve manufactured the biggest cult in history. A cult that we’re supposed to simultaneously revere the LOUDEST AND MOST OBNOXIUS DOUCHE BAGS and fear their possibly not yet mentioned condescending rhetoric. Don’t you dare challenge my anti immigration goon squad. They are embracing their highly cooperative right to earn money by destroying the lives of others. Others that in many publicized cases have done nothing but show cooperation and friendship. In their actual not internet communities.
The gematria “community” doesn’t really exist any more. The cult, learning the psychological tricks like endless gaslighting and effective use of projection has made gematria unimportant. They didn’t think big enough. They didn’t actually cooperate even the slightest among themselves for a long enough period to have any true staying power. The stragglers might post an occasional piece for nostalgia; their white picket fence. Some have residuals from unsubscribed Patreonage. But mostly they just stick to a bit of sports decoding and take solace in their 50%ish success rate. Probably yearning for the days when the could SCREAM ABOUT HOW SMART THEY ARE on the Internet.
