Tbh, is gematria even reliable? I'm sure you'd find all kinds of crazy numbers in everything if you looked hard enough.
It definitely into the realm where confirmation bias, apophenia, and pareidolia are a real possibility. Then again, so does investing in startups, financial sector speculation, boards of large companies trying to increase profits for shareholders... and no one bats an eye at those things, despite a lot of behavior and alledged degree of control over outcomes being statistical improbabilities.

The way I see it there are two parts and primary "nexus" of focus.

The first area deals in the core ontological framework, the ideas about reality, where some people may think there is a mathematical nature exposed through these other channels and you can predict or more broadly understand the course of events. For example some people say sports are rigged and you can use gematria to figure out which team to bet on. Or that it has to happen a certain way due to whatever factors, number of weeks between some event, or number of weeks since birth. So a lot like astrology.

The other has to do with human contrivance. That something about the way our brains process information caused our language to be developed and refined a certain way, maybe with deliberate help along the way (such ans Francis Bacon in English, or during other reformations). And along with this encoding and decoding, ie hidden (in plain sight) communications through the generations using the language of symbols and numbers. There is definitely truth in this much. Whenever something big happens you'll usually see the number 33 and 66 everywhere. I made a "schizo" post on Andrew Tate you can search for. Another example. The (made up) birthday for the reddit account believed to have belonged to Ghislaine Maxwell is March 12th, 2006. Well drop the 2000 and use 2 digit format. 03/12/06. 03/1+2/06. 03/03/06. 06/06, 66. then since digital roots are commutative, no matter how you do it you end up with 3 (6+6=12=1+2=3). If it was a one off deal you'd say okay, but it's like every single time. So this could be a signal that tells other people who are aware "ignore this stuff, interpret selectively" allowing communication without any special channels to disseminate it nor paper trail. Another example that comes to mind. Someone askled George Washington if he was a Freemason. He replied "why I haven't been to a lodge but once or twice in 30 years!" On the face of it, plausible... deniable. But then you look at it, once or twice = 1 and 2. 30 years. 1+2+30=33. What are the odds.

The way I see it, imagine you work somewhere, and a decent portion of your coworkers all speak another language you don't understand, and or have a ton of in jokes and references you're not able to interpret. You may want to know what's being said and why, of course you would, at least on some level. Though you might not care all that much. There are certain patterns and clusters with gematria which are so reliable, I'd say it warrants further investigation. Why not?

I would summarize:
-Gematria may reveal something about the structure and evolution of natural languages
-Gematria may reveal something about the basis of language functions in the brain
-Broader numerology may allow you to tap into something that facilitates predictions.
Computers would be able to do this much better than humans, and if it works, a bunch of D-wave or supercomputer farms probably already are. The USSR supposedly drew on astrology to inform certain decisions. Of course having that knowledge and resources to use it would put someone at a great advantage.
-Groups or individuals may use encoded language, it's good to have some knowledge of ciphers, cryptology, steganography, and so on.
-Phrases can be used to signal certain things, which is only revealed by interpreting them numerically
-As above, so below. From the perspective of a single cell, it may be part of a vast senseless matrix with comings and goings that have unintelligible meanings and purpose. However on our scale we can look at the machinery inside a single cell and understand how the parts relate, or why a given tissue is responding based on a stimulus or bodily state elsewhere on the body. eg a single unexpected pin prick to the leg, and the entire body recoils. A cell would have to decode the flow of information and pattern of state changes from where it is to understand anything. There is a certain beauty in this, in a way.
-Gematria and numerology are biased towards a teleological perspective. This is not really an issue.
Interesting. One thing that stuck out to me though:

"Another example. The (made up) birthday for the reddit account believed to have belonged to Ghislaine Maxwell is March 12th, 2006. Well drop the 2000 and use 2 digit format. 03/12/06. 03/1+2/06. 03/03/06. 06/06, 66. then since digital roots are commutative, no matter how you do it you end up with 3 (6+6=12=1+2=3).

I could be misinterpreting what you're saying, but this seems a bit...out there for me. Why would people be using gematria as a means of encoded transmission when someone on Off-Topic could decode it with ease? I feel like there would be better ways.

I one time saw someone coming up with a bunch of conspiracy theories online, and the only thing he really based his theories on was gematria. I feel like doing that is looking to deep into things and finding something where there's really nothing. Like apophenia, confirmation bias, the sorts.

Again, I could be understanding you wrong.

Plausible deniability and lack of context probably, particularly if systems like this were simply carried forward from pre-internet and mass media information saturation where you know about all kinds of things people have said, and can just pull it up out of the historical record or google a birthday or whatever. A lot of people are born on March 12th, 2006. Or 12/12/2001, or 06/06/2004. But if you have it in context, or are in position where you have other information and pick up on other hints (which we may not know to look for), things will pop out and click in mind for the initiated. It reminds me of a European secret society called the "oculists". The initiation ritual was a mock surgery done on the eye (like Paul having the scales removed from his eyes), after which they were left in a dark room (iirc) and then taught a secret cipher. Symbolically given new eyes.

It's also possible they believe using these numbers has a function beyond human affairs, like an energetic signature or a lucky number, talisman, sigil, etc. That it's required to do so.

Lastly in many cases the information is either useless on its own to an individual (or another group / power), a limited hangout / not fully interpretable, or useless to the uninitiated even if they can identify its presence in some cases. Or, better yet, if you know that someone knows about and believes in a signature, you can misdirect and false flag. It's possible all kinds of things go on. that's the benefit of covert signalling in plain sight in a way that makes no meaningful papertrail and is disseminated in the open and through general channels. So someone just has to read the paper, watch the news, etc. Otherwise you'd need secure channels of communication and coordination between what could be relatively spread out and large groups, everyone on the same page, central control, papertrail and possibility of intercepting communications or having more potential witnesses to secret meetings, and connections, and so on. A lot of this still makes sense in the electronic age.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like a good idea to base anything solely on gematria. Unless there was a very clear pattern and you had some idea where it may be coming from.

The other thing that comes to mind is brainwashing, MKULTRA (though these methods of trying to break people into multiple personalities and program them go back to ancient Egypt) and so on. Some of these numbers and codes could simply go and be processed and then reoutput in other forms by alters in the subconscious. Like human computers. That sounds like a stretch however, and I don't imagine that would have been widespread initially beyond the Pharaohs and direct descendants of or those in proximity to ancient Egypt's upper power structure, priest class, etc.

the moon landing was staged we didnt land there on accadent but it wasnt fake as to get the lighting you would need aa light millions of miles away or multi color lazers but in 1969 multicolor lazer were too expensive and big and how do they do the gravity not slow mo watch clips of people falling on the moon and not wires you would see it

if the bulgarian monarchy was never abolished in 1946, its very likely that simeon II would actually be the longest reigning ruler in history, as hes still alive today at 85 years old, and was already the tsar of bulgaria (1943-46) at the time of its disestablishment.

by the modern date his theoretical reign as tsar of a surviving tsardom of bulgaria, wouldve lasted roughly 79 years by 2022, or in other terms, 7 more years than louis XIV of france, who is the actual holder of longest reigning monarch.

That last bit reminds me of Black Ops 1.

"The numbers, Mason! What do they mean?!"

It's a bit interesting how the numbers of Jesus' name are related to astrology somehow. It's probably nothing, but it's kinda cool to imagine God hiding little details like that in things.

Not recommended. Drinking urine will dehydrate you even more and waste is full of bacteria and viruses which will make you extremely sick, and when you're sick, you diarrhea, throw up, and sweat (and probably some other symptoms) and ALL of these a lot of water which will also make you a lot more dehydrated.

Are there any nutrients in human waste at all? I imagine if you consumed it enough times, your body will filter out all the good stuff and you'd more or less just be eating bacteria and byproducts.
