Zach, ever the master of shameless self promotion, has rolled out a semi-regular recap of why the secret knowledge that’s never won anybody (including himself) a fortune is the most important thing ever. His wealth is from the subscriptions to the Patreon, and we suspect a lot of those are old and never cancelled even though long ago forgotten.
At least now the news channel and the sports channel are better segregated on YouTube. The sports channel is all sports, including the weirdly doubling up of titles that have an equalish amount of views. But, if you want current events you hop on to the Number Games channel to get more sports content and you get some current events rage bait. Just what we need. Another take on the Reiner murders, California floods, Candace Owens vs. Erika Kirk, and the Brown shooting. Just to let you know that engagement above meaningful content is what’s still happening in the 2020’s.
Within the importance of the gematria knowledge we get some superficial commentary on lifestyle changes you can do to save money. Don’t eat overpriced junk food and cook your meals at home. Drink your coffee black, because sugary stuff is bad. And the government and sports leagues are persecuting him. Which is definitely not true, because what’s really going on is the problems of generations of improper education have come home to roost in full force now. Bad information as cover for the current regime incompetence is now a decade old and is just a symptom of the cronyism sycophantic incompetents that are center stage. And that includes RFK Jr. and his lack of health knowledge not being called out by the rage bait promoting fake intellectuals who drink their coffee black. And Linda McMahon who doesn’t care about if you know that the idea of spending a lot of taxpayer money on the outdated idea of a new class of battleships is, being as generous as I’m willing to be, a really fucking stupid idea.
There still is real quality information on YouTube. If your research technique is to jump into a gematria video first, if that’s what makes you feel the best, your closed mindedness is preventing you from a chance for real education. There’s no magical solution presented by Binkov. And maybe you shouldn’t listen to a military garbed Kermit the Frog knock off that looks hungover. Not because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but Peter Jackson did the drugged out puppet look better in Meet the Feebles.
Some of my battleship knowledge is from unrevised to appease a dictator actual history in documentaries, factionalized war movies and totally fictional action movies hiding naughty ideas in plain sight (like Starship Troopers being about fascism where sometimes boots on the ground are necessary instead of just a big battle cruiser bombing from space). But more of it was from old wargames. Moving cardboard counters around to simulate combat between foot soldiers, aircraft, and of course naval vessels. And within that preexisting knowledge base, I have the luxury of knowing that the battleship class of ships was obsolete before WWII was over. Before and during WW1 they reigned supreme. Big gun from far away made of steel protecting the tender meat puppets inside from people that couldn’t effectively shoot back. But the trade off for a big piece of steel with giant guns is a sitting duck in the face of aircraft with bombs and hidden submarines with torpedos.
The shift to aircraft in WWII was so complete that the Japanese navy redesigned what was supposed to be a third super battleship, the Shinano into an aircraft carrier. Both of the first two, the Yamato and Musashi, the pride of the Japanese battleships, were pummeled into sea bottom scrap metal by air attacks. As for the Shinano, yeah she lasted about a month after being launched from the dockyards. A single U.S. sub torpedo. All in all, the big ponderous heavy gunned battleship idea died with these as well as the deaths of Germany’s Bismarck and Tirpitz. At least Bismarck was an old fashioned big ship vs. big ship fight instead of the indignity of tiny little planes dropping bombs from above.
The basic concepts of what I put in that last paragraph are part of my education. Sure, I had to look up some details to be sure I wasn’t putting out bad info. But the core details are part of my brain. A brain not addled by a lifetime of NPD and excessive need for adoration. Or excessive wealth. Because although not sure what the reason is we know some things that don’t work. It doesn’t matter if it’s attention grabbing to stay relevant or an immediate need to be an optically strong military to justify further bombing of tiny boats, or a genuine long term attempt at nuclear capable intimidation. Like Binkov recaps the Trump battleship plan is flawed and a waste of time and money. Even if the design gets nailed down. Due to generations of poor education we don’t have the qualified ship building capacity to manufacture the big, ineffective targets to be. Or staff them with quality personnel. And that’s a lesson we also learned from history as Japan ran out of decent pilots. A loss that turned a solid crew of pilots at the beginning of the war into shoddily trained target practice and only good enough for suicide mission kamikaze runs at the end.
There is some quality information in Zach’s “importance of gematria” video. Like battleships, conspiracy gematria is obsolete. It was born obsolete, stolen from old material the scammers of yesteryear used. Preying on the same lack of education the misinformation, disinformation and propaganda crowd uses. The same bad information corporate greed uses to cause the same problems he brings up with junk food, overpriced meals, and sugary coffee without being up the actual sources of our misery that we should be investigating. Gematria videos are a great basic education in how to identify bad information. Look at the source material. As soon as Gematria is brought up without the appropriate, “what the fuck did I just read?” reaction somebody has a problem. You’d be better off educationally by touching grass for entertainment by remembering that G4 isn’t gematria coding, it’s just an old game.
The Gematria Class of battleships. Not a type of ship, but a classroom lesson in recognizing bad information.
