I had a look at the link above and I see he presents a great deal more 'evidence' on the significance of the numbers 30 and 33 than in the the snippet included here, such as: Having read the full post, my advice would be to trust yourself in your original diagnosis that it's "patently insane"...

True. I figured 12 was a given. But 14 is like double the number of occurences of 13 or 16, and higher than any other number above 12 unless they're divisible by 10. So for sure that's got to be meaningful. :) I don't really want to go through each of these "specific claims", but I don't see...

I made a quick spreadsheet to give an idea of how many times each number occurs in the KJV text attached above by Mick. Just a simple search for each occurence: Notes: - the total for "one" will no doubt include other meanings beyond its significance as a number, as well as where it appears...

I found five instances of 33 and one of 133 - though that came from searching for "three and thirty".

I was looking for the originator of this quote and found it both surprisingly difficult and incredibly easy to locate: the easy part is that quoteinvestigator.com has an excellent article detailing its appearance over the years; and the difficult part is that it doesn't show up in search results...

Right. And especially when the meaning has changed even in the country and language that it stems from, due to the passing of time, fashions, trends, etc, so that its meaning may not even be clear to modern day native speakers - further complicated by the idea that it may have been written...

So I wrote to the two translators listed as "current" on the Einstein Papers Project and received pretty immediate responses. The first said he didn't think the word "belief" was necessarily implied, and proposed “subservience to authority” or “blind obedience to authority”. He also said the...

Well that was easy: the first search result I landed on provides parallel texts for Norwegian, English, German and Chinese: Source: https://www2.hf.uio.no/polyglotta/index.php?page=fulltext&vid=134&view=fulltext Here it's translated as "the worship of authority" - and unlike the difficulty in...

So I guess to call the original quote "debunked" is perhaps a little premature, unless I want to argue that Einstein didn't say/write "blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth" because the sentence he actually wrote was in German, and its translation is open to interpretation...

I wonder if the important component here is to do with the time Einstein was writing in. In the thread I linked above, one commenter wrote: I've found only a small number of uses of "autoritätsdusel" online - including one in a book by Iba Roy-Ed, one in a play by Ibsen - and they all date...

I'm not sure I understand the reference to "gefühlsduselei", as this word doesn't appear in the quote.

I saw this quote posted on Facebook and, as usual, as well as wondering whether the assertion was valid I wondered whether Einstein really said this. A google search for "Einstein authority quote" shows that, along with a variation of the same quote, it pops up repeatedly among the most popular...

Perhaps on a related subject, a short BBC interview with the young son of a popular conspiracy theory promoter in the UK, Kate Shemirani: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-54669239 He says he feels they will never have a relationship again as "she's too far gone".

I got curious about the selection there and googled one at random. Lech Jaworksi is actually Mark Lech Jaworski. He graduated from SGGW (Warsaw University of Life Sciences in 1962) and did two years in grad school at UBC, Vancouver. He has an M.Sc in Nutrition and Food Science and his LinkedIn...

As Oystein pointed out, he's not hearing an explosion, he thinks he's seeing one. The second reporter in this video is even more interesting to me: he's watching the tower collapse and yet he has no idea it's gone down; rather, he seems to think it's obscured by smoke and isn't sure what's...

I found your paper and the section that answers that question: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330393553_Blue_sky_at_midnight_-_Earthquake_lightning

Could you link to these please? And also information about how it was determined that there couldn't have been a man-made source for the lights? Thanks. :)

He actually looks more normal in the first video, colour-wise.

I got a facebook message from a conspiracy theorist about remdesivir (the CT stance being against it) back in April: it had been reported as being of benefit to covid-19 patients by CNN, but they weren't telling people were all the side effects: I looked it up and it was mostly true - though...

I'm not sure I want to see him die from it - might not be the best thing in the grand scheme of things - but I wouldn't mind a fairly serious illness that results in some humble pie eating and him publically saying, "You know what? I was wrong: that was awful, and way worse than the flu. Please...
