Cause & Effect

Let’s take a moment and tap the pulse of intuition by the numbers. Some things cannot be unseen once seen nor can their results be planned in advance. These are recent observations as to the performance of a post on LinkedIn. It appears my audience and the algorithm agree with me. Upon further inspection there’s a clear message coming through: intuition. Quite curious or am I hallucinating?

First, let’s take a closer look at the time of each screen grab. Deciphering the times for 7:04 and 9:38 reveal an 11 sum twice for 7+4 and 3+8. Next there’s the 9th hour from the later time along with 243 and 117 impressions from the two top performing post where both equal 9. So that’s 3 9s with their sum being 27, my lucky number.

Then there’s another instance for the 37 of 3 “weekly sharing tracker” actions completed. 37 multiplied by 3 is 111. One last note: the battery life is 45% and then later 5%. 45 multiplied by 5 equals 225. Their sum is 9. So as you can see there are clear signs of 11, 9, and 27 riddled throughout the results if we know where to look. There’s even an eleventy-one reference in there, too.

Do you see where I’m going with all of these happy accidents? There’s something quite uncanny, possibly even cosmic about these results. These screen grabs have not been altered except cleaning up the white pixel frame around the Renaissance ≠ GenAi$$ance logotype. No other alterations or manipulations have occurred.

While wrapping up this blog post my login code contained two more 27s set in a mirrored string: 027720. Too good to be a coincidence, right?

Some folks may chuckle at this post and just chalk the whole thing up to me orchestrating the entire experience through planned manipulation. However, those who know me know fair well I’m 100% legit. When I saw the post’s impressions go to 111 and the total post impressions go to 1,111 that’s when my ears perked up, and I acted. I did not check in at any point prior to that first time at 7:04 pm and later at 9:38 pm attempting to sway this outcome. I took screen grabs at these two completely random times. None of this was premeditated. It was completely by chance that those times added up to sums supporting my noted conclusions.

There’s nothing all that deep going on here. I’m just having some fun with the effects of numbers, and the coincidental nature of how they relate to the Renaissance ≠ GenAi$$ance cause. While wrapping up this blog post my login code contained two more 27s set in a mirrored string: 027720. Too good to be a coincidence, right?

Ah, just found two more: 222 profile viewers last 90 days can be reconfigured to 11 three times or 1 six times, and 2,610 followers becomes the sum of the individual numbers equals 27.
