Conspiracy Debate YouTube Livestream
Depending on where you are on the critical thinking spectrum, that can be painful or enlightening with all the shades in between. If you want practice recognizing logical fallacies used in a debate, intentionally to mislead, here you go.
The next generation of conspiracy theorists has arrived. If you want to talk about gematria as a tool for understanding the world around you, you have an uphill struggle. Gematria is covering fire. Spraying bullets aimlessly, not so much hoping that one hits although you’ll take it if it happens, but just trying to distract the sniper shooting at you long enough to think of a better way to not getting picked as the next target. An intentional analogy because there are those that would be critical of this commentary who would claim I just issued a death threat. Which is absolutely not what I did.
So let’s start with taking things out of context. The Bill Gates vaccine Ted Talk is an old chestnut for conspiracy cranks. Wildly popular at the height of Covid. The actual comment was about slowing population growth to a sustainable level, not actively murdering people with a lethal injection.
Well there you go. Discrediting the experts is exactly what’s being discussed. Reuters fact checking is on the conspiracy crank naughty list. Providing a list of matching numbers (after the fact) about the various two digit numbers that can be tied to the Jesuits has nothing to do with what is going on with Covid vaccines. The cover fire to get you to avoid talking to people who understand that Ivermectin is not the answer long enough to buy books, merchandise and join a Patreon destined to increase your gambling losses over the long term. All for the quick fix the covering fire provides to get you to be used as cannon fodder for the most disastrous regime in modern times. Your hatred today is at the cost of long term alliances and relationships.
This next generation arrived at the table with a valid talking point. Somebody out there - oh wait that might have been me, planted some seeds that outlined the basis of the multitude of ways that conspiracy theory gematria was hogwash. Simple, easily reproducible exercises that if you’re being honest with yourself make you wonder why your results aren’t really making sense. Things like how I jump right towards the antonyms right away when some new clown tries to set the table with whatever fluff they’re presenting. The new generation is coming of age, now having reached the level of asking Zach directly, “Is gematria math, or does it at least use math?”
To which the immediate responses are number lists of look at all these unrelated words that equal 74 and a Ryne Sandberg story straight out of Where The Fuck Did That Come From Logical Fallacy Land. And this and other recent Zach versus Chaotic Truth episodes also earned Chaotic Truth a follow up attack at the start of a Zach immediately declaring victory over “the raccoon”. Sure Zach, that’s the way to show victory in a debate by just name calling with a thinly veiled racist slur. Winning friends over with being a complete jackass might not work so well with this new generation.
You also gotta love the response to if you would allow a trained professional to treat sick people. The ever popular anecdotal “proof”. My child didn’t get sick, so listen to me lie about what Bill Gates said a little bit longer. Anecdotal evidence is low quality because your sources are absent. It’s just your word versus actual video, written, and audio commentary. “I never said that.” is going to be heard a lot in the near future because of course history being attacked is also in the lack of real education hit list. Some random hostile personality said something I like on the internet. Thats gotta mean more than the Roman Empire self destructing eventually. Yes, fallen empires and dominant language is also part of this next generation commentary in this video.
There is a reason my BlueSky profile picture is a Venn diagram about the uselessness of gematria in everyday life. It’s either math or it’s not. It’s either a tool that is universally applied like how a doctor or engineer can use it to reproduce positive results, or it’s a parlor game where everybody gets a participation award and no clear winner is determined. It’s useful for the next generation to dunk on the conspiracy gematria spouting madman, baiting them into waffling into yes it’s math, no it’s not just math, yes it’s math but it’s too complex for your tiny mind, here let me pull out my CALCULATOR to prove HOW EASY it is. Blecccchhh.
The multi generational attack on proper education is finally coming of age to where the next generation is finally using logic, reason and critical thinking. To look at real conspiracies instead of the most mind numbingly ignorant, bleating loudmouths might actually not help with their grocery prices. Maybe I should pay tribute to that by making a detailed gematria narrative of how Alex Jones is destined to do volunteer work at a local food bank.
