I refuse to believe that whoever put this to print did so earnestly. Surely they at least must've known this was bullshit they were peddling to make a quick buck off some gullible rubes.
I've known a couple schizophrenic dudes that got into numerology while they were struggling. This text sounds exactly like that.
My Neighbor was diagnosed with schizophrenia and when she seeked us out for help or to talk she would put that exact same "logic" to each and every of her conspiracies.
My understanding of schizophrenia is that it's the result of that part of our brain that sees faces in toast becoming overactive. They'll hear voices in random sounds and see connections where there aren't any.
I wonder how much of that comes from leaning in to this kind of stuff. Like the brain thinks it has found a connection and the ego is impressed with it and it activates some kind of reward pathway that reinforces the part that found the connection, which then goes searching for the next reward.
They "got into numerology" lol like it's a hobby.
Well it was a cou-ple. Cou is French for three twenties and seventeen, and ple is Sumerian for hundred. So it was the whole cabal of 'em, making their plans.
There's no information on the Internet about the author, Pao Chung. Probably just a scammer.
Is that name supposed to be onamonapeia for someone cashing out?
A buck earned is a buck earned. If the customer is stupid and gullible, the sale is much easier.
