    The latest "numerologist" had even told her audience that she herself had changed her young son"s FULL NAME TWICE, because, apparently, "he was still a bit depressed and would isolate himself". The poor kid was likely trying to hide from his crazy momma, - THAT did it for me, and I never looked back!! 😂

      I've seen some flat-earthers, numerologists and terrain theorists make some pretty complicated statements just to "demonstrate" that their initial statements were actually simple in nature, such as to meet the criteria necessary to uphold applicability of Occam's razor.
      Such a measure, however, is entirely contradictory to the Practical conditions of Occam's razor.
      If something is complicated then it's not simple, by f****** definition, so many misinformation mongerers dont get this.
      It's like the old saying: if one allows for the substitution of absurdity for truth, one is not far from commitment of atrocity.

Not a believer, but if the best it's gonna do is get me a damn ring, and the worst it's gonna do is add a damn letter to my name, then I don't care.

      Zodiac signs actually have a level of validity to them. Studies show that the season in which you are born has a statistically significant effect on your temperament. However, those differences are largely masked by your upbringing, etc so it's not something you can use like people are so prone to do.

      It's Dutch: translate.google.de/#nl/en/negenentwintig
      NB: Dutch and German are related but different.
      Here's a literal breakdown of the words:
      neun-und-zwan-zig (German)
      negen-en-twin-tig (Dutch)
      nine-and-twen-ty ('rearranged' English)

    • @stevenvanhulle7242
      @stevenvanhulle7242 5 лет назад

      Jens - Yes, but that's hyphenation, and doesn't mean much when you're talking about the semantics; "tig" in itself doesn't mean anything. (You also forgot to hyphenate the "negen".)
      negen = neun = nine
      en = und = and
      twintig = zwanzig = twenty

    • @jensraab2902
      @jensraab2902 5 лет назад

      +Steven Van Hulle: I only added the hyphens to show the corresponding elements of the numbers, not unlike what you've done with the equal signs. Ideally, I would have used spaces to align these beneath each other but formatting doesn't work well in RUclips comments! ;-)
      The suffix "-tig" corresponds to the suffixes "-zig" (German) and "-ty" (English). They don't have meaning in the modern versions of the respective languages* when used in isolation but they derive from a common root meaning groups of ten: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ty#English
      Anyway, I just trying to answer the question by "that youtube channel" about the meaning of "negenentwintig".
      * Actually, "zig" *is* used in colloquial German but in a metaphorical sense meaning a undefined number, something akin to dozens. (One online dictionary offers the translation umpteen! :-D)

    Never mind the pseudos.
    OTOH, numbers do have interesting properties. If you take a set of numbers representing real data (i.e. not random numbers) way more numbers will start with a 1 than will with a 9. You'd expect 11% for each digit, but turns out 30% of the numbers start with a 1, and less than 5% with a 9. (Benford's Law, FTW)

    My friend quit his job earlier this year, cashed out his retirement, and has spent the last 7 months using numerology to place sports bets so that he doesn't have to work anymore. He is back to work again because money is getting low but still claims his betting system works. Once the 49ers win the NFL, the Rangers win the MLB, and the Heat wins the NBA his $10 bet will net him $68,000 and he'll be back on top again... There is no amount of logic to convince him this is a crazy way to live. When his bets are correct it's because he saw the numbers correctly, when his bets lose it's because he missed some important number. I've challenged him to keep track of all his bets wins/losses to see how the system works compared to just randomly guess. He has said he would for like 3 months but refuses to do so. Now I'm at the point I just want him to stop bringing it up, it's like his life goal is to convince me it's real.

    However, language was also invented by humans. The meanings to the words were invented by us. And they carry meaning and the magic of enabling communion between people and interpreting the world. So why wouldn't numerology, with numbers and dates and meanings invented by humans, be valid as well for interpreting the world?

    the biggest setback is the gregorian calendar for me, which has leap years to keep the manmade calendar have consistent seasons on any date every year, which is just manipulated and not the natural order of the earth, so that is why it seems so sceptical to believe in numerology. However if numerology did exist as "real" it would be following the lunar calendar and no manmade manipulations of adding leap years or what ever else.

    A very nice video indeed. I like how you didn't try to attack the personalities and just respectfully presented your argument! At the same time though, while by no means am I a subsriber of numerology, I have trouble fully accepting the argument that numbers are completely arbitrary. Numbers is an abstract way to represent reality. Love the 4 chairs example, because no matter what symbol and numeric system you use to tell somebody that might ask you how many chairs you saw in the room, the amount of chairs is real, no matter what system is used to communicate it. So the numbers are real, which I'm sure numerologists love. At the same time, beautiful argument about the calendar. While I think that the time of year of birth does have a meaning and carry some information on a very basic level, because after all, the seasons are real, the year of birth is indeed completely arbitrary, as the universe didn't start 2023 years ago:)

    I mostly agree with him, but there's also a problem with most of his arguments: words itself are arbitrary. In that case, we cannot get meaning out of them, and yet we do. Our conventions on how to create language, as arbitrary and imperfect it might be, takes account of reality. Those arguments would be debunked by this. Althought, the first arguments works if it is true: numerology doesn't have an standard method.

    The original number system is the Hebrew alephbet. It's also the original letter system and it's based on the number 10, but not quite the same as the base 10 numeral system we use today. Letters, words and numbers are one and the same. You look at the symbol A and you say "A" which is also a word. You look at the symbol 0 and you say "zero" which is also a word. Numerology as it is taught is fundamentally flawed since it's based on Greek thought while the Greeks simply warped the Hebrew Alephbeth to get their alpha-bet. The original gods (yes our people were and are gods as are you who are reading this) defined letters, numbers and words as one. There is nothing which is 0. Then there's everything and everything is 1. When "the one" stands up next to the zero, it becomes 10. That's why they use binary code to emulate reality: ones and zeros. That's why the first letter of the name of the original God יהוה (Yahweh) is Yod (י), which is transliterated as "Y" and has a numerical value of 10 in the alephbet system. Life is mathematics and mathematics is life. If you wanna know the truth about anything you have to do some real deep study.

    Cool video, I have a few questions though.
    Do numbers exist if there are no conscious beings to perceive them? Are they simply a construct of the mind or something the conscious mind discovered? Also while any divine nature of numerology may be totally bullshit how do we know that certain groups or people don't simply use it as a cipher for communicating to each other in a public manner such as news headlines? Using gematria and applying it to news headlines will lead to some pretty weird coincidences very often. So ignoring all divine significance could gematria not be used an effective cipher for coded communication?

      The Jesuits who practice Khabala openly use these ciphers in their practices. People tend to dismiss practical uses for some of these "woo woo pseudosciences". Unfortunately it is an ego thing. Just as some religious people blindly "know", many scientific scholars "know" as well. Skepticism should be approached with humility and an open mind, not with the mindset you already know the answers. Most people don't want to see the forest for the trees when we could just argue semantics all day. Just my 2 cents. I think we could all be more open minded to new concepts. Skeptic nowadays means status quo defender, a real skeptic questions the status quo.

    Some people actually use some form of numerology in investing along with technical analysis. It is so weird and annoying. They will be talking about charts and such and then are off on some tangent about some basketball player's jersey number being a code that connects to a date 80 years ago that has the same code as a date in 2 weeks and they string it together and try to make predictions. It's so extremely weird and when it comes true the claim it proves their number game true, yet how many times were they wrong? I could flip a coin, heads the stock markets will be up in 2 weeks, tails it will be down. I'll be right 50% of the time on average, but what if I'm right 75% of the time? Does that prove my system as true? Nope, because what if someone else is doing it too and they get it right 0% of the time? There is a lot of confirmation bias that happens with these people.

    Although I'm not a mathematician, I've been fascinated with numbers as far back as I can remember. It's certainly been helpful in my career as an engineer. My YT icon here (to the left of this comment) is an image of my invention, an Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT), that allows its gear ratio to continuously vary up to infinity from about 1.6 using gears; the lowest ratio seems to optimize at about the golden ratio, an intriguing coincidence. The golden ratio has remarkable implications in nature. As for gearing calculations, the possibilities and limits in integers that represent gear-tooth numbers can be a mind-twister, as can the results from planetary gearing calculations.
    Other mathematically intriguing models are involutes (the basis of gear-tooth shapes), moires, geodesics, DNA structure, subatomic geometry and fractals. Base-numbers are also interesting; I've long thought that base-ten is stupid, and that base-twelve is the best because it has six integer divisors that represent the best ratio of its base. 12 can be divided by 1,2,3,4,6 & 12! We only need to add 2 symbols to simplify any fraction but 1/5 and 1/10; a bargain! We should have evolved to get 12 fingers! Of course, binary numbers have their unique advantages.
    The real stumper is Pi, long considered irrational, incalculable and non-recursive. I suspect that someone will eventually discover a precise calculation for Pi, and it will be a boon for physics. I base my intuition about Pi on the fact that involutes are calculable, and that they define conjugate motion (in gearing) around a circle; conjugate motion being smoothly constant for geartooth-mesh procession.
    Most intriguing is our human capacity for mathematical insights into reality that seems to originate from intuition that gets structured through logic. This weird transformation of different forms of mental processes has obviously evolved, and is not unique to our species. Other critters have these abilities too, and some other species have proven to be more capable of certain types of mathematical manipulation than humans. It should not surprise us that the mysteries of our mathematical abilities have often led us to supernatural conclusions. Perhaps we've only begun to understand the core and potential of our mathematical abilities, AI notwithstanding!

      It's not any different than how people get obsessed with phi. When we build out our number system from the ground up, we find the primes by the Sieve of Eratosthenes where we remove all multiples of primes found from the beginning of the countable numbers. It's not surprising when you learn a little number theory that the greatest square modulo 10 is equal to the last digital root in the complete residue system. So you'll see base multiples of 3 everywhere. This would change if our number system was base 24, for example, and maybe Tesla in that universe would be fascinated with 2,3,4,6,8, and 12 and accommodate his fascination to something analogous.
      But not any more than you would find multiple of 2. In fact, since the integers (which is the only subset of the complex numbers we have addressed so far) are either odd or even so you'd expect 2 would be more popular.
      These preferences are arbitrary based on a low-level organization.

    The only thing I agree with here is that numerology is metaphysical, not logical. It's one of many ancient methods of divination, i.e., interpreting meaning from the observable world.

      Uarehere, I think you’re conflating “meaning” with “truth.” There is only one truth, and mathematical logic is our most effective resource for uncovering truth. The irony of finding meaning in numerology is that the meaning is completely arbitrary. Mathematics and logic do exactly the opposite of what you are suggesting when you say they render the universe to be random. Numerology is random. Truth is predetermined.

      I am suggesting that superstition in all its forms is harmless in this way. It is not a virtue and you shouldn't advocate it as equal to reality.
      You want a good and sustainable placebo that you can safely pass onto your children without lying to them to be the best you can and be happy with it? Love your real friends and your real family. Care about them and think about how you can treat yourself and others as a tribute to them and to yourself and in gratitude for the universe you are a part of. Do your real part in it, instead of hiding away selfishly in some stupid fantasy wasting your time and energy you could have spent on things that are not just good for your mind and body but have real meaning and not just for you but for people around you as well. That should keep you going indefinitely, regardless of criticism, because it works and is true and can withstand all criticism. Metaphysics can't even handle the questions of a 3 year old. Good luck with sustaining that without stunting your own growth and that of others around you.

    The fact that you state that logic is not numerology is stated ignorance. At a certain point there are just too many coincidences for it to be a coincidence. There are a lot of patterns in numerology that your video doesn’t state and it doesn’t prove numerology doesn’t work. Probably because if you tried to dissect it then you would see the notable patterns yourself.

    • @baronvonbeandip

      Hey, mathematician here,
      While I'll admit that the stating of the arbitrariness of the modulus of a number system does not suffice to disprove the claim that numerology is valid, I also don't see valid claim by numerology and its practitioners that there is something inherent about numbers and combinations of numbers.
      For example, your assertion that "there are too many coincidences for it to be coincidence" is vacuous in that, for each thing that happens, you could justify it with any combination of numbers by adding to the set of influences. There is no justification that names have any discernible effect on the world outside the trivial occurrences. Birthday *does* have an effect on temperament in infants which promulgates in differences in a slight effect in personality but the surroundings of an infant carry far more weight on the development of children. This is also analogous to the effects of celestial bodies whose effect on earth is largely trivial (aka the claims of Astrology).
      Further, your claim that patterns occur is not a new one and of course he would see patterns in numbers. Mathematicians and their predecessors have been doing this since long before Pythagoras, Babylon, or Ancient China. Humans discover patterns. As a person who has taken it upon himself to test the validity of claims made by numerologists, the hypotheses they put forth are empty and *do not* follow a pattern with any level of consistency. You are equally likely to find a pattern in chaos just as well as in ordered sets (Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon).
      Numerologists who do not employ actual mathematics have yet to make a predictive, valid, and/or replicable claim that isn't also well-defined through actual mathematics.

Who cares how your example or anyone breaks down the numbers. Hell I see people do math equations different all the time (I have children) & the results are still the same. The dude has a 4 life path & whatever the number is, the vibrations never changes.
    2. 3 & 13 are NOT the same. They may have meant that the 13 has 3 & 1 influence, but 3 is it's own vibration & 1+3= 4, Four has its own vibration. It's fine that you don't want to put stock in it, however trying to discount it, sounds no different than dismissing religion. Some people value & believe the meaning of the vibrations. It does not bring any harm to anyone b/c the numbers do not focus on negative or positive.
