I have really hard time feeling anything about this. In the video it seems like he is driving over the speed limit coming out of the tunnel. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I understand that losing somebody close to you hurts and i hope all the good for his family and people close to him and hopefully they get to mourn in peace without media tearing the case open, but personally i cant but think rich dude does stupid rich dude things and paid the price.

First, I’m sorry for all the people who will miss him, which includes a lot of lemmings. And I’m sorry for both him and his passenger, it’s a painful way to go.

But Angeles Crest Highway is notorious for Ferraris and Lamborghinis speeding crazily while fans film them, zooming past people who are just trying to get safely up and down the mountain.

In real life, dead is dead.

At least they didn’t hit another car. And the burning Ferrari didn’t fall down into a ravine, potentially sparking a wildfire and/or putting rescuers at risk retrieving the bodies.

Yeah he was definitely speeding inside the tunnel. There is a video of the crash and the road slightly turns to the left after the tunnel. And he couldn’t even make that turn. Crashed right into the barrier with the right side of the car.

I think the reason why you have me tagged as a schizo is because you’re projecting your distrust of yourself onto me.

None taken, as I happened to be thick skinned. Where I’m thin skinned, however, is when people are unwilling to test my claims, of which might point people in a direction where they don’t want to go.

Apparently, numerology use for research is not the best idea in their eyes, but that’s what I do. I didn’t see anything wrong with it (and why it’s called a conspiracy is beyond me).

Wait, what’s the “under a hex (44)” from? He was 55.

Also I get 79 for “murder”, where did you get 38? And for “Call of Duty”? I don’t know shit about Numerology honestly lol

38 is commonly associated with murder. Call of Duty is 38 in many different ciphers.

As for the hex, kill is equal to 44, and that’s connected to the 40 weeks 4 days I mentioned earlier. They all match up with hex.

Maybe check these ciphers (of which I use 16): Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Reduction, Reverse Reduction, Latin, Sumerian, Reverse Sumerian, Satanic, Reverse Satanic, Single Reduction, KV Exception, SKV Exception, Reverse Single Reduction, EP Exception, EHP Exception, Chaldean

Edit: After checking, Call of Duty is equal to 38 in KV Exception, SKV Exception, Single Reduction, and Reduction. That game series was chosen to gaslight us into not noticing he was murdered.

Have you considered why “Call of Duty” is 38 in Reduction, Single Reduction, KV Exception, and SKV exception?

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that all of those ciphers having the same mappings for all letters except K, S, and V… Each of which don’t appear in the phrase “Call of Duty”.

“The nimble red fox ran around the lazy dog” is 38 in Reduction, Single Reduction, KV Exceptuon, and SKV Exception!!! This means it’s related to murder! And I didn’t even have to calculate the cipher at all, I just had to look at it and see if it had the right letters!

Thanks for those cyphers! Is it common to use a bunch of different ones in numerology? :o

But where’s “hex” coming from? I’m sure other words equal 44 too. Does “hex” equal 44 in the cyphers you use?

When you say that Call of Duty was chosen, what do you mean? He was a developer for that series, and it’s his most popular work so it’s where most people would know him from.

Neigsendoig (my producer) and I both use those 16 ciphers I mentioned. There are more we could use (Caps added, Caps mixed, Standard, Fibonacci, etc.), but we don’t tend to use them a lot.

We both use Gematrinator as our gematria calculator of choice, and that’s how we make determinations with gematria and numerology.

It sounds like some of those ciphers have big overlap, like the reduction ciphers. Do you factor that in when you’re using them? I think another commenter mentioned that using multiple reduction and exception ciphers that exclude letters not used in the phrase you’re analysing will obviously give you the same results, which seems like a good point to me

To be fair, numerology can be used to seek deeper meanings, of which I just did (the mod who removed the original comment I made likely had no idea I was speaking truth to light, potentially, through the use of something the entertainment industry as a whole uses a lot).

Numerology is an absolute horse shit pseudoscience, and an easy way to summarize the lack of intelligence in those that promote it.

That mod removed it because it’s complete nonsense. And the entertainment industry also see it for the bullshit that it is.
