00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,480
richard saunders coming to you from

10
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,320
sydney australia

11
00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:38,800
it's been raining lately still

12
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:40,559
very muggy

13
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:43,360
and a few nights ago i happen to be

14
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:46,320
working downtown sydney

15
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:49,600
and huge lightning storms were rolling

16
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,399
through

17
00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,160
it was quite a sight

18
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:54,079
and what is also quite a sight are the

19
00:00:57,990 --> 00:00:55,440
thousands of people

20
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:58,000
protesting in canberra our nation's

21
00:01:03,029 --> 00:00:59,760
capital

22
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,039
vaguely about vaccination but they are a

23
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:05,760
a gaggle of conspiracy theorists and

24
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,960
freedom fighters and this sort of thing

25
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,960
and i've seen them complain online well

26
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:12,960
some of them anyway that the

27
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,280
mainstream media are ignoring the story

28
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:17,439
part of the conspiracy you see well the

29
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,000
mainstream media are not ignoring the

30
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:22,880
story that's where i've been watching it

31
00:01:26,149 --> 00:01:24,479
but conspiracy theorists and

32
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,159
anti-vaxxers and freedom fighters i hate

33
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:28,159
to tell you this but it's just not that

34
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,680
big a deal

35
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:31,520
i mean you are a tiny minority of the

36
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:33,439
populations protesting in the streets

37
00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:35,840
yeah that's sort of interesting

38
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:36,960
sort of

39
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,119
there's a few arrests yeah that's sort

40
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,119
of interesting but don't think you're

41
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:42,960
that important don't think that the

42
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:45,920
world or the australia will stop

43
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,560
and just be glued to the set to see what

44
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,399
you're doing and your important actions

45
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,479
and your declarations and whatever

46
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,479
legally binding things you think you're

47
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:55,840
passing

48
00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:57,439
so yeah

49
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:00,000
you've got the legal right to protest do

50
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:02,159
it peacefully and my message to you is

51
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:04,399
get vaccinated and the other thing i

52
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:07,520
think i would note about these people is

53
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:10,720
amongst their own tribe or gaggle of

54
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:13,200
tribes they really think they really

55
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:14,640
think they're on the verge of making a

56
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,920
difference or

57
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:18,000
forcing the government out or changing

58
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:20,160
everything and the revolution is here so

59
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:22,319
to speak but i certainly hope the event

60
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,599
doesn't turn into a super spreader

61
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:27,599
with thousands of people

62
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,120
marching around

63
00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:31,440
without masks

64
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:33,040
but anyway let's get on to what's on

65
00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:36,480
this week's episode of the skeptic zone

66
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:38,000
and maybe this does relate to the

67
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:39,680
freedom fighters and the protesters and

68
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:41,440
the anti-vaxxers and the conspiracy

69
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:43,760
theorists in canberra i'm going to start

70
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,200
with a piece i wrote for the skeptic

71
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:48,160
magazine last year called any day now

72
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:49,680
i promise

73
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:51,680
and this is about

74
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:52,560
um

75
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,519
keeping believers on the hook year after

76
00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:57,840
year after year with the promise that

77
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:01,519
any day now the truth will be revealed

78
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:03,840
and this deals with all sorts of things

79
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:05,840
from ufos to

80
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,560
the return of various deities

81
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:10,400
to all sorts of things

82
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,000
then we have the australian skeptics

83
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,080
newsletter read once again

84
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:16,640
by adrian hill in canada but written by

85
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:20,080
tim mendham what will we learn this week

86
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:22,319
then to round off the show we go back to

87
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:25,440
the trove archives where we do a search

88
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:27,440
for references to

89
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:30,720
numerology and this was inspired by

90
00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:33,200
the story that adrian hill brought us

91
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:35,599
last week about the number seven

92
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:37,200
well i noticed in various parts of the

93
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:38,959
country

94
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,799
you know sort of life is sort of getting

95
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,319
back to

96
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:44,879
to normal in a sense

97
00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:45,760
and

98
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:47,599
a good friend of mine recently went to

99
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:51,120
him outside an outdoor music event

100
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:53,040
and uh wow

101
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:54,400
imagine that

102
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:57,519
getting back to life and enjoying music

103
00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:59,360
again in the park or

104
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:01,200
a band or a concert or something like

105
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:02,400
that

106
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,200
we can be optimistic we can be

107
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:07,280
optimistic and that's largely thanks to

108
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:09,760
the vast majority of the population

109
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:12,319
who like me and you i'm sure have rolled

110
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:15,439
up their sleeves to get

111
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:17,040
vaccinated

112
00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:20,400
and boosted

113
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,840
stay tuned at the end of the show for

114
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:23,520
more announcements from me but now it's

115
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:26,639
time for me to run downstairs

116
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:29,360
and have a pancake waffle

117
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:32,240
how about that a pancake waffle figure

118
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:34,400
that one out will i do that

00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:59,350

00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:39,440
i promise richard saunders looks at the

139
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:41,520
bait that keeps believers hooked for

140
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:42,880
years

141
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:45,440

[Music]

143
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:56,080
in may 2021 the seven tv network in

144
00:06:03,510 --> 00:05:59,520
australia broadcast seven news spotlight

145
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:03,520
special the phenomenon reveals the truth

146
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,360
about ufos

147
00:06:08,830 --> 00:06:07,440
or as they are increasingly being

148
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:08,840
referred to

149
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:13,600
uaps or unidentified aerial phenomena

150
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:17,360
after about 70 years of reports of ufos

151
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:19,520
keeping in mind that the term ufo is

152
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:22,400
taken by most people to mean alien

153
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:23,680
spaceship

154
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:26,560
it's about time a tv network was brave

155
00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:29,199
enough to spill the beans

156
00:06:32,830 --> 00:06:30,479
the special

157
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:32,840

161
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:42,880
advertised with much fanfare

162
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:45,600
was presented by journalist and former

163
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:48,800
reporter on 60 minutes ross coulthart

164
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:51,520
who happens to be also spooking his new

165
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:52,400
book

166
00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:55,280
in plain sight an investigation into

167
00:07:01,670 --> 00:06:58,479
ufos and impossible science

168
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:01,680
unfortunately the beans he spilled

169
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:05,360
were very old and reheated together with

170
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,680
some newer flashy beans that turned out

171
00:07:10,870 --> 00:07:08,800
to be more

172
00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:10,880
flash in the pan

173
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:13,440
it is not the intention of this report

174
00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:16,000
to analyze all the accounts in the tv

175
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:17,199
special

176
00:07:21,589 --> 00:07:19,520
but in brief we were treated to many

177
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:21,599
eyewitness accounts conspiracies of

178
00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:24,880
cover-ups and repeated showings of the

179
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:27,919
recent so-called pyramid ufos

180
00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:30,720
from a video shot by a u.s navy

181
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:31,840
serviceman

182
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:35,520
spoiler the ufos turned out to be

183
00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:38,720
an airliner shot out of focus

184
00:07:46,350 --> 00:07:41,759
see the elegant examination of this by

185
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:48,230
bedfc

186
00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:50,000
9b7

187
00:07:55,510 --> 00:07:52,879
what is important to note is the video

188
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:55,520
used repeatedly in the 90-minute tv

189
00:08:00,550 --> 00:07:58,720
special had been debunked well before

190
00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:00,560
transmission

191
00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:03,599
indeed i even pointed this fact out to

192
00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:06,479
the seven network weeks before

193
00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:09,440
but why let the facts get in the way

194
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,680
of a good story

195
00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:13,759
checkered history

196
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:16,319
this recent ufo tv special joins the

197
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:17,680
long

198
00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,960
presented over the decades we have to

199
00:08:27,150 --> 00:08:24,479
name but a few

200
00:08:31,149 --> 00:08:27,160
1970 chariots of the gods

201
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:31,159
1976 overlords of the ufo

202
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:35,839
1977 mystery of the gods 1979

203
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,959
it has

204
00:08:41,070 --> 00:08:38,240
begun

205
00:08:44,269 --> 00:08:41,080
1980 ufo syndrome

206
00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:44,279
1995 alien autopsy

207
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:47,600
1997 australian ufos and alien

208
00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:51,360
encounters down under and 2005

209
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:53,360
the ufo phenomenon

210
00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,800
seeing is believing

211
00:09:01,430 --> 00:08:58,800
now i predict in about

212
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:01,440
five to seven years we'll have yet

213
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:03,680
another special promising that

214
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,720
any day now

215
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:08,560
we'll know the truth

216
00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:10,480
a promise repeated throughout the

217
00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:13,600
decades in an abc radio interview in

218
00:09:19,110 --> 00:09:16,959
july 2021 ross coulthart said

219
00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:19,120
i think there is evidence to support the

220
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,600
notion that the united states government

221
00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:23,920
is about to tell the world

222
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:27,279
something quite momentous and i think

223
00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:30,080
they've known it for many many years and

224
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:32,240
i've spoken to people at a very high

225
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:34,000
level in defense and intelligence

226
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,080
circles in the us who tell me that the

227
00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:38,080
united states is in possession of

228
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:41,279
extraordinary information and i'm privy

229
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:42,720
to some of it

230
00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:44,720
but not a lot of it

231
00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:47,120
but i think it does involve the

232
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:48,480
possibility

233
00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:53,519
in other words

234
00:09:56,990 --> 00:09:55,279
any day now

235
00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,000
this promise this

236
00:10:02,470 --> 00:09:59,920
tantalizing promise carries a great deal

237
00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:02,480
of meaning to believers and not just

238
00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:05,120
those who know the aliens are already

239
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:08,399
here or coming tomorrow the idea that

240
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:10,560
what you think is right and soon you'll

241
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:13,760
be vindicated has tremendous power and

242
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:16,320
that power has been used ever since adam

243
00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:17,680
was a boy

244
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:20,800
the end is nigh

245
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:23,200
which brings us to the topic of

246
00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:25,600
religious fundamentalism

247
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:29,279
we can clearly see how this any day now

248
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:30,240
promise

249
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:32,480
in this case let's single out the return

250
00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:35,519
of christ has been used for millennia i

251
00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:39,200
remember in the 1970s one of our sunday

252
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:41,360
school teachers telling us that she knew

253
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:43,760
that we were living in the end times as

254
00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:46,320
the signs were everywhere and any day

255
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:49,279
now christ would return and do whatever

256
00:10:53,910 --> 00:10:52,000
it is he promised to do

257
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:53,920
it gave her a strong sense of

258
00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:55,360
reassurance

259
00:11:03,590 --> 00:10:58,959
that what she truly believed was in fact

260
00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:03,600
true but she was only the next link

261
00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:06,720
in a long chain of her predecessors who

262
00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:08,640
also knew that they were also living in

263
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:10,000
the end times

264
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:12,000
stretching back generations

265
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,720
come the 2000s and we have countless

266
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:16,240
examples of the same promise when it

267
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:18,480
comes to christianity by the religions

268
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:21,440
and cults in 2011

269
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:23,440
billboards appeared in sydney and around

270
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,000
the world from harold camping who

271
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:28,480
predicted the second coming of christ on

272
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:31,519
may 21st whereupon the saved would be

273
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,160
taken up to heaven in the rapture his

274
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:36,720
many followers were thrilled that any

275
00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:39,440
day now their faith would be rewarded

276
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:41,120
when the day came

277
00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:42,399
and went

278
00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:44,560
camping changed the date to october and

279
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:47,200
the faithful prepared yet again

280
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:49,279
and again nothing happened

281
00:11:53,269 --> 00:11:51,600
camping's big mistake

282
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,279
and the same mistake was made by

283
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:54,959
jehovah's witnesses

284
00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:57,600
was to set an actual date for the

285
00:12:02,389 --> 00:11:58,800
promise

286
00:12:03,509 --> 00:12:02,399
the real power comes from it being kept

287
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:03,519
vague

288
00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:07,600
and that way it avoids a used by date

289
00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:10,399
sadly we have seen too many times

290
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:13,839
what the real fate of cult members can

291
00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:14,560
be

292
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:16,959
in cases such as jonestown

293
00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:19,279
or heaven's gate

294
00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:22,480
putting the return of christ to one side

295
00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,279
the promise has also long since been

296
00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:27,600
used by creationists

297
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:29,680
where it comes in the form of the claim

298
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:30,800
that

299
00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:33,120
more and more scientists are rejecting

300
00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:34,320
evolution

301
00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:36,240
and by implication

302
00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:38,959
any day now creationism will be accepted

303
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:40,480
by the mainstream

304
00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:42,639
even at the time of writing on the front

305
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:44,639
page of the website of the discovery

306
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:45,760
institute

307
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,240
is the feature story titled

308
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:50,560
some of the growing number of scientists

309
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,320
who doubt the darwinian theory of

310
00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:54,720
evolution speak out

311
00:13:00,310 --> 00:12:57,279
this news is sure to give hope to those

312
00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:00,320
sending in their donations

313
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:02,720
the medical arena

314
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:05,920
this promise is nothing if not versatile

315
00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:08,000
and it's found in all manner of other

316
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:09,279
beliefs

317
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:11,920
we find it in full force when it comes

318
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:14,160
to alternative medicine

319
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:17,440
and is used in the form of any day now

320
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:19,760
the rest of science will catch up to

321
00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:22,399
what the practitioner and the adherents

322
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:23,600
know is true

323
00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:26,320
this slogan has been used for homeopathy

324
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:27,600
in particular

325
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:30,800
and again even as i write homeopathy is

326
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:33,600
indeed waiting for science to catch up

327
00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:36,720
is used on a prominent homeopathy site

328
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:38,959
it makes perfect sense to those who

329
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:41,680
trust in homeopathy and spend their

330
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:44,800
hard-earned on it and gives them like

331
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:47,360
the creationists the sense of hope and

332
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,959
peace of mind

333
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:50,880
the darker side of this promise

334
00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:54,240
manifests itself as fear when it comes

335
00:13:58,829 --> 00:13:57,199
to the crusade cry of

336
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:58,839
for example

337
00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:01,680
anti-vaccination conspiracy theorists

338
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:05,279
the fear is that any day now

339
00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:07,920
the one world government will succeed in

340
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:10,720
its plans to subjugate or exterminate

341
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:14,240
the population via vaccines and it is up

342
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:16,800
to us to stop it from happening

343
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:19,600
send your donation and together we can

344
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:21,440
fight this threat

345
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:25,519
the threat of the evil government

346
00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:28,639
never comes but is forever just about to

347
00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:31,519
start coming true the promise that binds

348
00:14:36,069 --> 00:14:34,000
the ufo believer to the creationist to

349
00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:36,079
the homeopath to the anti-vaxx

350
00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:38,959
conspiracy theorist and so on

351
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:42,639
is so much more than mere hope or in

352
00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:44,480
some cases fear

353
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:47,839
it is a firm expectation based on what

354
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:50,160
they know in their hearts to be true

355
00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:52,160
it is akin to someone

356
00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:54,560
unable to cut their losses and walk away

357
00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:56,720
from the poker table but instead

358
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:00,240
investing more good money after bad as

359
00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:03,199
any day now the cards will favor them

360
00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:05,440
we can sympathize with these people as

361
00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:06,480
they are

362
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:08,240
like the rest of us

363
00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:09,600
only human

364
00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:11,920
wear our compassion and understanding

365
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:14,720
gives out is when we discover those who

366
00:15:20,389 --> 00:15:17,680
know full well the end times are not

367
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:20,399
coming or that magic sugar water will

368
00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:24,720
not heal or that ufos are a relic of

369
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:27,519
another era fit only for tv specials and

370
00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:29,040
yet more books

371
00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:31,519
but are ready and willing to use the

372
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:34,160
any day now promise to achieve their

373
00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:36,880
ends be it monetary or

374
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:40,639
sadly in many cases power over others

375
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:42,880
they willfully exploit this facet of

376
00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:45,600
human nature for their own advancement

377
00:15:50,069 --> 00:15:47,199
or gratification

378
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:50,079
i imagine they also fall prey to another

379
00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:52,480
facet of human nature that is the

380
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:55,279
ability to justify their behavior to

381
00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:56,480

00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,840

skepticism

00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:17,679
but as the story outlines brazil put its

452
00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:20,080
trust in vaccination programs even as

453
00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:21,760
the president tried to undermine

there is a man not a woman in the moon

460
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:40,960

of course in china that's a rabbit in

using a person's dna that can then be

fed into a facial recognition system a

470
00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:06,480
highly dubious not to mention ethically

471
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:09,200
fraught claim that has experts calling

472
00:21:14,470 --> 00:21:10,880

we're in two minds about this one it

00:21:20,390 --> 00:21:18,320
earnestly tries to make a serious

00:21:22,549 --> 00:21:20,400
scientific case and points out problems

477
00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:22,559
of hoaxing and wishful thinking not to

479
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:27,600
poltergeist investigators have a lot of

00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:29,280
experience of failing to find

481
00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:31,600
poltergeist activity end quote but there

482
00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:34,400
is an ongoing tinge of quote it's real

483
00:21:41,350 --> 00:21:37,760
we just have to prove it end quote

484
00:21:43,590 --> 00:21:41,360
religious people and ghost hunting shows

485
00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:43,600
a strange piece that could easily go

486
00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:45,280
down to the end of this newsletter with

487
00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:47,520
the silly stuff because of the sloppy

488
00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:49,039
conclusions

489
00:21:53,909 --> 00:21:51,440
quote christian people actually watch

490
00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:53,919
slightly more often than agnostic people

491
00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:56,559
but not a significant enough amount more

492
00:22:01,270 --> 00:21:58,640
that we could conclusively say they

493
00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:01,280
watched more but it was surprising to

494
00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,120
see that just a little bit more they

495
00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:05,679
watch so that pretty much or that

496
00:22:09,430 --> 00:22:07,760
disproved our hypothesis we were

497
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:09,440
incorrect end quote

498
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:13,760
try to make sense of that oh my god

499
00:22:19,029 --> 00:22:16,720
and later quote religion and interest in

500
00:22:21,270 --> 00:22:19,039
ghost hunting shows do not correlate an

501
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:21,280
interesting discovery was that spiritual

502
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:23,520
people seem to be much less interested

503
00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:26,480
in ghost hunting shows end quote figure

00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:28,559

to the bottom of the newsletter

508
00:22:38,830 --> 00:22:36,400
especially as it makes only a fleeting

509
00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:38,840
reference that most experts think it's

510
00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:41,280
pseudoscience but the article at least

511
00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:42,720
outlines some of the basics of the

a plea to bring back the tv program that

517
00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:55,280
pitched psychics against each other to

which ran in 2008 and 2011 quote the

pinnacle of entertainment end quote and

522
00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:09,360
suggests it's time for a reboot

possibly the largest of its kind ever

silliest story of the week

633
00:27:37,430 --> 00:27:35,279
a haunted doll weeps tears of acid

634
00:27:39,029 --> 00:27:37,440
what is really silly here is not just

635
00:27:41,350 --> 00:27:39,039
the story and the fact that the haunted

636
00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:41,360
doll wants to set itself on fire but the

637
00:27:46,389 --> 00:27:44,000
appallingly applied makeup on the doll

638
00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:46,399
to make it look scary

639
00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:48,880
and that's all for this week until next

now it's time once again once again to

652
00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:54,000
dip into those pages at trove at

653
00:28:59,029 --> 00:28:56,720

654
00:29:01,990 --> 00:28:59,039
australia's archive for magazines

655
00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:02,000
newspapers journals and so on and

656
00:29:06,149 --> 00:29:04,720
inspired by a story on last week's

657
00:29:07,510 --> 00:29:06,159
episode of the skeptic zone about

658
00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:07,520
numerology

659
00:29:14,389 --> 00:29:09,279
i thought would look up

660
00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:16,630
and just to remind you we quickly look

661
00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:19,120
at the skeptic's dictionary

662
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:20,640
numerology

663
00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:25,440
meanings of numbers and their influence

664
00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:26,880
on human life

665
00:29:31,350 --> 00:29:28,720
since there are no occult meanings to

666
00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:31,360
numbers and since numbers by themselves

667
00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:33,360
can have no significant influence in

668
00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:36,000
anyone's life numerology is nothing but

669
00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:39,360
superstition masquerading as science or

670
00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:40,799
art

671
00:29:45,190 --> 00:29:43,440
some alleged psychics like yuri gellar

672
00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,200
claim that numerology helps them

673
00:29:51,510 --> 00:29:47,360
understand events such as the terrorist

674
00:29:54,310 --> 00:29:51,520
attacks on september 11 2001.

675
00:29:56,630 --> 00:29:54,320
but as i mentioned on last week's show

676
00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:56,640
numerology is just another prop

677
00:30:01,750 --> 00:29:59,120
like tarot cards or astrology

678
00:30:03,269 --> 00:30:01,760
i see your birth date equals number six

679
00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:03,279
that means you're

680
00:30:05,909 --> 00:30:04,720
likely to

681
00:30:08,630 --> 00:30:05,919
and then

682
00:30:11,190 --> 00:30:08,640
put in vague description here you're an

683
00:30:13,510 --> 00:30:11,200
aries that means you're likely to oh

684
00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:13,520
here's your tarot card it's the ace of

685
00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:16,080
uh swords that means you're likely to

686
00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:17,840
and so on

687
00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:20,720
but let's have a look to see

688
00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:23,360
what has been captured in the pages

689
00:30:27,710 --> 00:30:24,880
at trove

690
00:30:29,430 --> 00:30:27,720
and our first entry comes from

691
00:30:32,870 --> 00:30:29,440
1935

692
00:30:36,190 --> 00:30:32,880
february the 7th in the western mail

693
00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:36,200
from perth western australia

694
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:41,510
and it's a very short article which

695
00:30:48,149 --> 00:30:44,240
simply says numerology

696
00:30:51,669 --> 00:30:48,159
it is stated that modern science is

697
00:30:55,590 --> 00:30:51,679
proving that everything we touch and see

698
00:30:57,830 --> 00:30:55,600
is controlled by the law of vibration

699
00:31:01,750 --> 00:30:57,840
even everyday numerals are said to

700
00:31:04,149 --> 00:31:01,760
vibrate to the heavenly planets

701
00:31:07,509 --> 00:31:04,159
nadia shah the persian occult

702
00:31:10,710 --> 00:31:07,519
numerologist announces elsewhere in this

703
00:31:15,110 --> 00:31:10,720
issue that he will read any set of birth

704
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:15,120
date numerals that are sent to him

705
00:31:19,909 --> 00:31:16,960
that's very intriguing

706
00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:19,919
and this uh particular issue of the

707
00:31:24,149 --> 00:31:22,399
magazine is quite lengthy and i scoured

708
00:31:25,190 --> 00:31:24,159
it but i couldn't find the announcement

709
00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:25,200
but

710
00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:27,120
never mind

711
00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:30,080
now we jump forward to the year 1992

712
00:31:34,549 --> 00:31:32,480
on the 11th of december

713
00:31:37,269 --> 00:31:34,559
from the taurus news

714
00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:37,279
thursday island queensland that's the

715
00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:39,360
islands right up in the north part of

716
00:31:44,389 --> 00:31:41,120
australia

717
00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:44,399
numerology part 11.

718
00:31:47,509 --> 00:31:46,320
oh so there are at least 10 more parts

719
00:31:51,269 --> 00:31:47,519
to this

720
00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:51,279
series but let's look at part 11.

721
00:31:56,230 --> 00:31:54,000
this week the master numbers

722
00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:56,240
11 22

723
00:31:59,750 --> 00:31:57,840
33

724
00:32:02,630 --> 00:31:59,760
and 44.

725
00:32:05,430 --> 00:32:02,640
these numbers were left for the last

726
00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:05,440
deliberately so that you would have a

727
00:32:09,750 --> 00:32:07,600
reasonable understanding of the basic

728
00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:09,760
differences between each of the numbers

729
00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:11,760
already explained

730
00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:14,960
however like any science if variables

731
00:32:19,669 --> 00:32:16,960
are introduced we should expect them to

732
00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:19,679
have an influence on the general rule

733
00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:22,640
so i will explain what i mean by that

734
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:23,600
later

735
00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:25,010
like any other science

736
00:32:29,830 --> 00:32:26,720
[Music]

737
00:32:31,990 --> 00:32:29,840
we have been concerned to date with

738
00:32:33,110 --> 00:32:32,000
reducing the birth number to a single

739
00:32:37,029 --> 00:32:33,120
digit

740
00:32:38,789 --> 00:32:37,039
but if immediately preceding that the

741
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:38,799
single digit we see

742
00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:41,120
one of the master numbers then there

743
00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:44,000
will be a marked influence

744
00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:46,080
to the general rule

745
00:32:51,909 --> 00:32:47,360
for example

746
00:32:54,230 --> 00:32:51,919
5 july 1961 reduces to 29

747
00:32:55,509 --> 00:32:54,240
added together becomes 11

748
00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:55,519
then 2

749
00:33:02,070 --> 00:32:58,320
because there is a master number

750
00:33:04,389 --> 00:33:02,080
eleven immediately preceding the two

751
00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:04,399
we must consider that this could

752
00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:07,600
influence the general rule

753
00:33:14,549 --> 00:33:11,440
another example would be 4 january 1952

754
00:33:16,789 --> 00:33:14,559
this reduces to 22 then 4.

755
00:33:18,549 --> 00:33:16,799
here we have the influence of the master

756
00:33:20,789 --> 00:33:18,559
number 22

757
00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:20,799
get the picture

758
00:33:26,389 --> 00:33:23,760
here are some more to practice with

759
00:33:29,269 --> 00:33:26,399
20 july 1961

760
00:33:31,990 --> 00:33:29,279
5 november 1966

761
00:33:34,549 --> 00:33:32,000
9 may 1981.

762
00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:34,559
these numbers are not common with the 44

763
00:33:39,430 --> 00:33:36,559
being the last common

764
00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:39,440
if you meet or have met someone with

765
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:41,440
this number you will understand why it

766
00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:44,799
is uncommon over the next two issues

767
00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,519
okay let's get to the nitty gritty we

768
00:33:51,430 --> 00:33:49,679
call the numbers master numbers because

769
00:33:54,149 --> 00:33:51,440
their base number

770
00:33:57,110 --> 00:33:54,159
the single digit reduction number is

771
00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:57,120
greatly amplified due to specific

772
00:34:03,509 --> 00:33:59,760
vibrational influences at birth

773
00:34:05,590 --> 00:34:03,519
refer to part one of this series

774
00:34:07,909 --> 00:34:05,600
these particular planetary alignments

775
00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:07,919
only occur at certain times

776
00:34:13,349 --> 00:34:11,359
and this is why the master numbers are

777
00:34:15,909 --> 00:34:13,359
not as common

778
00:34:18,310 --> 00:34:15,919
the master number 11

779
00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:18,320
has the base number two

780
00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:20,800
here the two is raised to being the

781
00:34:26,950 --> 00:34:23,679
decision maker rather than a follower

782
00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:26,960
your intuitive power should be used

783
00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:28,639
consistently

784
00:34:30,990 --> 00:34:30,240
so that they can

785
00:34:32,550 --> 00:34:31,000
be

786
00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:32,560
fine-tuned

787
00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:35,200
and rely upon giving your strength and

788
00:34:39,109 --> 00:34:37,520
confidence to tackle the toughest of

789
00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:39,119
assignments

790
00:34:44,710 --> 00:34:42,079
you are an idealist

791
00:34:46,149 --> 00:34:44,720
and envisage a world for the benefit of

792
00:34:48,550 --> 00:34:46,159
mankind

793
00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:48,560
this vibration strengthens your

794
00:34:53,510 --> 00:34:51,119
eagerness to help those in need but you

795
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:53,520
must remember that this crusade will

796
00:34:58,630 --> 00:34:55,520
demand your credibility

797
00:35:01,510 --> 00:34:58,640
and this will only be gained by ongoing

798
00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:01,520
study and a thirst for knowledge

799
00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:04,240
only then will you be able to inspire

800
00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:06,880
others to act

801
00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:09,440
of course what we're reading now is

802
00:35:13,829 --> 00:35:12,000
more or less an example of a barnum

803
00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:13,839
statement

804
00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:16,640
here's the next paragraph which starts

805
00:35:21,349 --> 00:35:18,480
skepticism

806
00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:21,359
is a trait you must control

807
00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:25,200
for it will inhibit your goals

808
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:26,640
[Music]

809
00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:27,680
so

810
00:35:32,390 --> 00:35:30,400
you should become more open-minded

811
00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:32,400
through more technical and spiritual

812
00:35:38,230 --> 00:35:34,800
knowledge fiction will satisfy your

813
00:35:39,589 --> 00:35:38,240
fantasies but it will not bear fruit to

814
00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:39,599
the cause

815
00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:42,079
as an eleven you must not allow yourself

816
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:43,520
to stagnate

817
00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:46,320
you must be active and be involved in

818
00:35:50,470 --> 00:35:48,160
life at all times

819
00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,480
you could possibly end up as a leader in

820
00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:52,800
public affairs or a lecturer in

821
00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:54,160
philosophy

822
00:35:59,030 --> 00:35:56,560
you may even pursue a career in

823
00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:59,040
marketing management

824
00:36:02,630 --> 00:36:00,720
lack of knowledge and discipline to

825
00:36:05,270 --> 00:36:02,640
study will prevent growth under this

826
00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:05,280
vibration and the base number two will

827
00:36:10,150 --> 00:36:07,920
have the predominant influence

828
00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:10,160
see part three

829
00:36:15,349 --> 00:36:13,040
less common than the 11

830
00:36:18,630 --> 00:36:15,359
is the 22

831
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:18,640
which reduces to a base number of four

832
00:36:23,349 --> 00:36:21,040
under this master vibration you are the

833
00:36:26,710 --> 00:36:23,359
one entrusted with financial affairs and

834
00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:26,720
general running of the large corporation

835
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:29,440
your forte is in money and how to best

836
00:36:35,270 --> 00:36:31,599
expand and invest it

837
00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:35,280
big business and you go hand in glove

838
00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:37,040
you will find that rubbing shoulders

839
00:36:41,750 --> 00:36:39,760
with other senior executives is an

840
00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:41,760
excellent source for new ideas and

841
00:36:45,430 --> 00:36:42,960
innovation

842
00:36:48,630 --> 00:36:45,440
the qualities of honesty reliability and

843
00:36:50,310 --> 00:36:48,640
integrity under the four vibration are

844
00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:50,320
emphasized

845
00:36:55,349 --> 00:36:53,200
even more as a 22. accepting

846
00:36:57,910 --> 00:36:55,359
responsibility and delegating your

847
00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:57,920
authority become natural to your

848
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:00,400
professional and social life

849
00:37:06,069 --> 00:37:03,760
however as in all of us the desire to

850
00:37:09,670 --> 00:37:06,079
achieve our goals as quickly as possible

851
00:37:11,670 --> 00:37:09,680
can tempt us to use unscrupulous

852
00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:11,680
and unethical practices

853
00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:15,119
if you live as a negative 22

854
00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:20,560
you can cause much pain and anguish in

855
00:37:26,230 --> 00:37:24,160
reaching your goal you must be reminded

856
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:26,240
that you have the power to achieve your

857
00:37:31,430 --> 00:37:29,520
goals without using sinister methods

858
00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:31,440
next week we continue with the master

859
00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:35,750
now here's the next one and it comes

860
00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:36,640
from

861
00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:38,000
the camera times

862
00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:41,920
dated 1995 the 13th of october

863
00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:46,240
is it just luck or an outside influence

864
00:37:51,829 --> 00:37:49,200
superstition plays a major part in some

865
00:37:54,710 --> 00:37:51,839
players preparation for those big games

866
00:37:57,030 --> 00:37:54,720
as david kopatrik discovered

867
00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:57,040
in films such as bull durham

868
00:38:03,349 --> 00:37:59,920
the wayward pitcher played by actor tim

869
00:38:04,470 --> 00:38:03,359
robbins learns to breathe through his

870
00:38:05,510 --> 00:38:04,480
eyelids

871
00:38:08,550 --> 00:38:05,520
wears a

872
00:38:11,589 --> 00:38:08,560
suspender belt and learns to re-channel

873
00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:11,599
his sexual energy to help get his aim

874
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:12,560
right

875
00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:14,720
another player in the team believes in

876
00:38:18,950 --> 00:38:17,599
voodoo and blesses his bat with a

877
00:38:21,109 --> 00:38:18,960
chicken's foot

878
00:38:22,069 --> 00:38:21,119
while the only confirmed christian in

879
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:22,079
the team

880
00:38:25,510 --> 00:38:24,400
leads prayer sessions before batting

881
00:38:27,829 --> 00:38:25,520
practice

882
00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:27,839
in reality superstitions and playing

883
00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:30,480
rituals are far more mundane with the

884
00:38:36,550 --> 00:38:34,480
unshaven look lucky socks and underpants

885
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:36,560
some of the favorite foibles of the

886
00:38:39,750 --> 00:38:38,160
sporting elite

887
00:38:41,990 --> 00:38:39,760
and while this may

888
00:38:44,310 --> 00:38:42,000
say more about a competitor's personal

889
00:38:47,349 --> 00:38:44,320
hygiene rather than anything else

890
00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:47,359
there can be no doubting that if it

891
00:38:52,710 --> 00:38:49,839
feels lucky it must be

892
00:38:55,589 --> 00:38:52,720
cricket is a very superstitious game

893
00:38:57,190 --> 00:38:55,599
just ask the war twins

894
00:39:00,630 --> 00:38:57,200
and incidentally

895
00:39:03,109 --> 00:39:00,640
um mark and steve war were very famous

896
00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:03,119
cricketers here in australia a decade or

897
00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:04,960
so ago

898
00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:07,760
apart from having a special knack for

899
00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:10,320
running each other out while they are

900

901
00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:14,880
routines that they follow

mike valetta

909
00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:33,040
had a spooky experience while fielding

910
00:39:40,069 --> 00:39:36,480
at the waca ground last year

911
00:39:42,950 --> 00:39:40,079
one of the members had been cremated and

912
00:39:45,589 --> 00:39:42,960
his dying wish was to have his ashes

913
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:45,599
spread on the hallowed turf

914
00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:47,520
normally the wind would have spread his

915
00:39:52,630 --> 00:39:50,000
ashes to the four corners of the ground

916
00:39:55,270 --> 00:39:52,640
but valletta found himself fielding on

917
00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:55,280
top of them in his position at third

918
00:40:00,710 --> 00:39:57,839
slip it's just lucky i didn't have to

919
00:40:03,589 --> 00:40:00,720
dive to take a catch he said

920
00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:03,599
numerology also plays a big part in

921
00:40:09,630 --> 00:40:06,640
cricket with 87 considered to be

922
00:40:12,390 --> 00:40:09,640
australia's unlucky number and

923
00:40:14,390 --> 00:40:12,400
111 for england

924

are handed out before the game and has

religiously before taking a shot at goal

explanation

00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:12,880
unable to balance facts from fiction

951
00:41:18,230 --> 00:41:15,359
gays soon began to suspect that he was

952
00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:18,240
being set up for a hit and slept with a

953
00:41:24,150 --> 00:41:20,960
butcher's knife under his pillow

954
00:41:26,550 --> 00:41:24,160
canberra cannons center ray borner noted

955
00:41:30,069 --> 00:41:26,560
that a number of basketball players like

956
00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:30,079
to take the last shot in the warm-up

957
00:41:34,470 --> 00:41:31,440
before a game

958
00:41:36,309 --> 00:41:34,480
i don't know why that is born and said i

959
00:41:38,550 --> 00:41:36,319
guess before the start of the game the

960
00:41:41,589 --> 00:41:38,560
last thing they'd like to see is the

961
00:41:45,349 --> 00:41:41,599
ball going through the net

962
00:41:49,030 --> 00:41:45,359
and finally we come to another older

963
00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:49,040
entry here this is from 1936

964
00:41:53,910 --> 00:41:51,760
23rd of september

965
00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:53,920
uh once again in the western mail from

966
00:42:00,870 --> 00:41:56,319
perth and it seems to be an ongoing

967
00:42:02,870 --> 00:42:00,880
correspondence numerology dear non-com

968
00:42:05,510 --> 00:42:02,880
i promise to write further on the

969
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:05,520
science of numbers a science that

970
00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:08,000
becomes more fascinating the deeper one

971
00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:11,040
goes into it it is always fresh and its

972
00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:14,000
beauty can be treated in many ways

973
00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:15,839
the mathematician can study new

974
00:42:20,790 --> 00:42:18,400
calculations the historian may study the

975
00:42:22,069 --> 00:42:20,800
numbers of famous or infamous historical

976
00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:22,079
characters

977
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:24,880
i have already pointed out some of the

978
00:42:30,710 --> 00:42:27,680
military figures which of course were

979
00:42:32,870 --> 00:42:30,720
far from final owing to time and space

980
00:42:35,270 --> 00:42:32,880
by the way if anyone has read my other

981
00:42:37,990 --> 00:42:35,280
figures starting with the indian mutiny

982
00:42:41,750 --> 00:42:38,000
he may possibly call to mind the greater

983
00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:41,760
disaster in afghanistan in 1842

984
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:44,400
when we lost all our force including the

985
00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:46,240
44th foot

986
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:50,160
with the exception of one man dr brydon

987
00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:53,760
there are only nine primal numbers

988
00:42:58,150 --> 00:42:55,040
one to nine

989
00:43:00,470 --> 00:42:58,160
and numerology is based on these numbers

990
00:43:02,950 --> 00:43:00,480
because any number

991
00:43:05,589 --> 00:43:02,960
no matter how big can be reduced to one

992
00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:05,599
of these by simply adding from left to

993
00:43:10,710 --> 00:43:06,720
right

994
00:43:13,750 --> 00:43:10,720
would still work

995
00:43:16,069 --> 00:43:13,760
and reducing till only a single number

996
00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:16,079
is left for instance

997
00:43:19,990 --> 00:43:17,680
eighty-four

998
00:43:21,589 --> 00:43:20,000
eight plus four equals twelve

999
00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:21,599
equals three

1000
00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:24,480
one two three equals six

1001
00:43:27,829 --> 00:43:26,880
there are only nine distinct types of

1002
00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:27,839
people

1003
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:30,000
each of them governed by one of the nine

1004
00:43:36,230 --> 00:43:32,720
primal numbers they are one

1005
00:43:40,790 --> 00:43:36,240
the aggressive or courageous type

1006
00:43:43,430 --> 00:43:40,800
two the placid or balanced type 3 the

1007
00:43:44,390 --> 00:43:43,440
expressive or active type

1008
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:44,400
4

1009
00:43:50,870 --> 00:43:46,800
the deliberate or cautious type

1010
00:43:54,870 --> 00:43:50,880
5 the versatile or restless type 6 the

1011
00:43:57,510 --> 00:43:54,880
dependable or considerate type 7 the

1012
00:43:58,390 --> 00:43:57,520
mystic or melancholy type

1013
00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:58,400
8

1014
00:44:02,309 --> 00:44:01,440
the successful or powerful type

1015
00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:02,319
9

1016
00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:05,920
the universal or magnetic type

1017
00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:07,760
and if i do my calculations it looks

1018
00:44:14,470 --> 00:44:10,319
like i come out to be a number six

1019
00:44:19,349 --> 00:44:17,270
we must all belong to one of these types

1020
00:44:20,309 --> 00:44:19,359
so i would suggest to readers that they

1021
00:44:22,630 --> 00:44:20,319
try it

1022
00:44:25,030 --> 00:44:22,640
on their friends and they will be

1023
00:44:27,990 --> 00:44:25,040
surprised at the result

1024
00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:28,000
in case anyone should have missed the

1025
00:44:33,030 --> 00:44:30,000
method of finding the

1026
00:44:35,750 --> 00:44:33,040
phatic number of a person

1027
00:44:42,309 --> 00:44:35,760
take the age say

1028
00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:45,349
just remembering this is an old article

1029
00:44:49,990 --> 00:44:48,240
add from left to right which gives them

1030
00:44:51,829 --> 00:44:50,000
29.

1031
00:44:54,710 --> 00:44:51,839
repeat the operation

1032
00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:54,720
which gives 11. oh

1033
00:44:59,670 --> 00:44:57,119
11. i wonder if this writer knew about

1034
00:45:02,230 --> 00:44:59,680
the master numbers

1035
00:45:05,910 --> 00:45:02,240
again repeat and we get 2

1036
00:45:07,430 --> 00:45:05,920
as the phatic number of anyone born on

1037
00:45:10,470 --> 00:45:07,440
that date

1038
00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:10,480
a number two person has a keen sense of

1039
00:45:17,190 --> 00:45:13,520
natural justice tactfulness

1040
00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:17,200
desire for peace home living instincts

1041
00:45:20,710 --> 00:45:18,720
and caution

1042
00:45:24,150 --> 00:45:20,720
they are the world's peacemakers

1043
00:45:25,589 --> 00:45:24,160
unselfish they do not expect any return

1044
00:45:28,230 --> 00:45:25,599
for their efforts

1045
00:45:30,230 --> 00:45:28,240
content in believing that their virtue

1046
00:45:32,630 --> 00:45:30,240
is its own reward

1047
00:45:36,790 --> 00:45:32,640
mondays and wednesdays should be

1048
00:45:39,910 --> 00:45:36,800
favorable days for number two persons

1049
00:45:42,870 --> 00:45:39,920
i think i have now written sufficient to

1050
00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:42,880
set people thinking or start an argument

1051
00:45:47,829 --> 00:45:46,000
whichever suits them best

1052
00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:47,839
and

1053
00:45:51,190 --> 00:45:49,680
it's signed

1054
00:45:53,829 --> 00:45:51,200
simply

1055
00:45:55,910 --> 00:45:53,839

1056
00:45:58,790 --> 00:45:55,920

[Music]

1060
00:46:10,069 --> 00:46:07,680
well there you go i wonder what your

1061
00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:10,079
number is is it lucky is it one two

1062
00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:12,960
three four five six seven eight nine

1063
00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:15,280
not ten apparently we're all

1064
00:46:18,630 --> 00:46:17,680
uh within the range of one to nine

1065
00:46:22,150 --> 00:46:18,640
numbers

1066
00:46:24,390 --> 00:46:22,160
and i'm a six i wonder what you are

1067
00:46:28,550 --> 00:46:24,400
now of course there are many many

1068
00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:28,560
articles on numerology on the internet

1069
00:46:32,630 --> 00:46:30,560
what goes without saying really but i

1070
00:46:35,349 --> 00:46:32,640
was surprised to see so many

1071
00:46:38,090 --> 00:46:35,359
um entries in australian history going

1072
00:46:42,470 --> 00:46:38,100
back so many years

1073
00:46:45,910 --> 00:46:43,829
but you too

1074
00:46:50,550 --> 00:46:45,920
you too can be surprised when you visit

1075
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,950
typing in your search and

1076
00:46:54,960 --> 00:47:02,010
you never know what you might find

1077
00:47:02,020 --> 00:47:17,670
[Music]

1078
00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:19,430

gold coast skeptics

1084
00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:34,559
and this is my talk about strange energy

1085
00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:37,680
and strange devices updated for 2022.

1086
00:47:42,309 --> 00:47:40,160
this is about uh

1087
00:47:45,109 --> 00:47:42,319
so called

1088
00:47:48,150 --> 00:47:45,119
energies unknown to science

1089
00:47:50,870 --> 00:47:48,160
and devices being sold which do nothing

1090
00:47:53,510 --> 00:47:50,880
and the tricks employed to sell these

1091
00:47:55,589 --> 00:47:53,520
devices in fact i've just come across a

1092
00:47:57,349 --> 00:47:55,599
new one the other week which i'll be

1093
00:48:00,150 --> 00:47:57,359
including in the talk

1094
00:48:01,349 --> 00:48:00,160
believe it or not it's about socks

1095
00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:01,359
socks

1096
00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:05,520
or

1097
