Synchronicity / James Randi?

Okay, so what's your point?

The orange box presents three different ways to calculate the so-called Life Path. Because addition is associative and sod(a) + sod(b) = sod(a+b), the order of the calculations is irrelevant to the answer. Note that all three options produce 7. There are additional options that they don't list.

What possible difference to the supposed meaning of the Life Path could the order of calculation possibly make? Is my life dependent on the order of calculation of some computer? It's absurd. Either the programmer is a scam artist or a fool.

And it only gets sillier. Look at this page about finding lost objects:

Ponder, for a moment, how such an utterly diabolical thing could possibly evolve.

Iacchus! I have read all your posts. I find them entertaining. Now, please answer me a question.

Knowing that mathematical systems do fit together and repeat in interesting ways, why are you insistent that your number manipulation is significant?

You know I love and respect you as a being.

Ohhh, your friend Mike told you - must be true then. And a whole 7.5% of the original episodes had this number in them? Wow. Couldn't possibly be because it's a nice random sounding number? Couldn't possibly have been deliberate, like we know it was from TNG onwards?

No, I haven't verified that every single last episode has the number 47 in it, have you? My friend Mike seemed like the knowledgable type and definitely a Trekkie fan. So unless you can furnish proof that all the episodes in the original series doesn't have it, then I would suggest you stop your ranting and raving. Or, get ahold of my buddy Mike.

And why wouldn't they continue on through to The Next Generation if it didn't begin in the original series? Doesn't it seem plausible that it could have began before The Next Generation?


Right, so not a character like you said. It's not even official Star Trek. It's just some Trekkies who happen to have called their simulated starship Mercutio. Not a big leap considering most people's favourite Starfleet captain was a big Shakespeare fan.

If I hadn't just glanced at the links, I could have furnished you with a little more accurate information, but you see I wasn't looking for a Star Trek connection, I was trying to establish whether Mercutio was a Shakespeare charachter or not. And when I saw the Star Trek links, I "assumed" (sorry) it must have had something to do with The Next Generation, because I don't recall anything like it in the original series. Also, several other links were referring to someone's username, Mercutio, who kept referring to Q and Star Trek, which of course has something to do with The Next Generation. Although I'm reasonably sure I didn't see this during the original search (not until after using the key words "Mercutio" and "Star Trek"). Nonetheless it does tend to strengthen the idea doesn't it? ;)

Wait...you mean, they weren't lurking here and impressed enough by what they saw that they built a sim just to honor me?

...Gee, davidhorman, you sure know how to hurt a guy...:p

What is a "sim" by the way?
 
WOW if Star Trek ( or any TV show) says something is true it MUST be.. I am now your follower Iacchus I just did not know Star Trek was on your side...

I mean if every show did have the number 47 in it it has to be true because such a thing could never be planned by the people writing it.

you know every single Episode of land of the Giants had , yes Giants in it so there must be giants. ;) :p

Well you obviously don't believe in God, so how can I possibly expect you to understand what synchronicity is. And yes, even though I'm unfamiliar with the numerology systems you refer to, they probably work along similar principles such as mine. At least this would be my guess.

But that's not the point. There's no doubt in mind that the people who wrote the show planned it that way. It's too obvious.

The point has to do with the original post in the thread, where I referred to Mercutio's 3347th post, which he had asked for an "interpretation" on earlier (why I asked everyone to read the whole page on the other thread), and it's at this point that I came up with the connection between Mercury, Mercutio, the number 47 and Star Trek. However, it all began with me asking him if Mercutio was derived Mercury, the Roman version of Hermes which, happens to be the god of "synchronicity" by the way.

Now, are you beginning to understand what this is all about?

By the way Mercutio, both Mike and I are from Oregon the 33rd state, in reference to your 3347th post. And if you follow the link I referred you to earlier it explains the significance of the number 33 ... http://www.dionysus.org/x0601.html#33 ... And notice that the number 33 (on the page) happens to begin with Hermes. Also notice the last edit date at the bottom of the page, which was back in October, meaning I haven't done anything to fabricate this.

So, anyone got any idea what that means?
 
Sure he is here dear Iacchus! Now, calm down, will you ?

(Chronicle of a breakdown foretold...)

Hermes is God of, amongst other things, oratory and literature.
Are you suggesting we worship Mercutio?

Well, I don't know about that, not unless he wants to step up to the plate.

But we also need to know Hermes was a bit of a pransker, and maybe he's about to play a joke on someone? Like James Randi perhaps? :D

There were a couple of people on Paltalk yesterday complaining of too much Mercutio-worshipping going on. Myself, I am all for it. Especially offerings. If anyone is interested in getting in on the good side of this here god (Pascal's Wager applying to me as well as to any other god), I can let you know several worthy charities, including my childrens' scholarship funds. Or go donate blood. But don't waste your time praying. Doesn't work, never did. Trust me..... I'm worship-worthy...

Or, how about a moment of silence instead? ;)

I feel about "moments of silence" much the same as I do about prayers--in both cases, people who could be actively making a difference are instead voluntarily taking themselves out of the action. What a complete and total waste! Save up your moments of silence, then when you have enough time saved up, go volunteer at a shelter, or take an elderly neighbor to supper, or help paint a daycare center. A moment of silence, if that is all that it is, is a moment wasted!

Speaking of moments wasted, I actually clicked on your link. I suppose some things are worse than silence.

What about the calm before the storm? What about ineffable silence? Indeed, silence begets everything.

Yes, sometimes it is better to remain silent, that is if we had the capacity to do so. And then we might learn few things about ourselves, possibly from Hermes?
