Talk:Zachary K. Hubbard

Awaiting Hubbard's response
Well, I sent the link to this article to Hubbard's blog site. Someone (not Hubbard himself) said that "rational wiki isn't a supporter of having an actual open mind. It's still conformist logic". I asked exactly how the article was wrong. Awaiting response. UPDATE: so I was talking with this guy here: https://freetofindtruth.blogspot.com/2019/10/jimmy-carter-turns-95-years-old-october.html?showComment=1569962471806#c7259232896578868259. This guy kept saying that Rationalwiki was full of biased information thus this article had to be wrong. I asked him to respond with what exactly was wrong about this article: NOTHING BACK FROM HIM. Aaronmichael5 21:17, October 1st 2019 (UTC). After reading through his site, I think Hubbard neads help from psychiatrist. Or perhaps he is a scamster like L. Ron Hubbard?Teerthaloke101 (talk) 09:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

So what exactly is his thing?
I've read the article (admittedly rather quickly) and the impression I have is that he claims to be able to predict American sports events. (Which is explained in perhaps too much detail for someone who knows nothing of the technical terms in these sports or whether the teams involved are significant.) But the sports thing doesn't (at least at first reading) doesn't quite tie in with the introduction. Which still leaves me a little unclear about his motivation. Is he trying to make some money, or just share his wisdom with the world?

As is the case with all people who claim to be able to predict X, one has to wonder why he is spending his time on the internet rather than at the bookmakers. Perhaps this thought should be in the article.

Anyway, I rather think this could be tightened up a little - at least as far as a non-US audience is concerned. Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 20:05, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Admittedly we could probably use some more political material on this article. His sports picks are what I'm most familiar with so I guess that's why I used that as the basis for this article, but anyone can certainly change it up as necessary. Aaronmichael5 1:07 November 13th (UTC)

Other material and tweaks suggestions

 * I’m not sure the count of twenty deleted channels is accurate as he may have one suspended that when he waits out the probation period it could come back to life.


 * He claims to have been a school teacher. A quick email to the State of Washington revealed nobody with the name of Zachary Hubbard having any accreditation as a a public teacher.  It’s possible a private school would be stupid enough to have hired him, but unlikely as they all seem to look for someone with actual credentials.


 * He put up a nasty Tweet directed at Marco Rubio that was deleted by Twitter or voluntarily taken down.


 * He used his mother’s Twitter account/Etsy account to promote his book.


 * Not a day goes by where someone finds my sports related material, especially “How to Predict a Sports Champion with Gematria”. Must be a very high search engine hit.


 * Looks like his claim that a recent suicide is fabricated. Not definitive proof, but the online obituaries don’t reveal the man’s name when searched.

These things I have references archived for. There are others that are noteworthy that I don’t. For example his video threatening Ryan Newell of Vice Sports (specifically beating him up with a baseball bat) is gone by YouTube channel termination. Several extremely anti-Semitic blog posts.

 * Oh, you think his anti-Semetic bullshit is bad, get a load of this: http://freetofindtruth.blogspot.com/2018/07/47-102-josh-hader-gets-negative-press.html "Nigger" = 42, WAKE UP SHEEPLE!! Aaronmichael5 21:44 November 13th (UTC)


 * Re: antisemitism. And this: https://gematriaeffect.news/jewish-slanderer-bethsheba-ashe-takes-another-shot-at-me-december-29-2020/ I mean, it's basically the old Nazi trope again, isn't it? Just using numerology with a twist. I also note that they use a cipher from Gematrix and Gematrinator that they all call "Jewish", but isn't.

Atheist experience
I was listening to this week's podcast version of The Atheist Experience and some crazy dude phoned in claiming that some baseball scores could be used to prove the existence of god. Understandably Matt Dillahunty barley gave him the time of day. But could it have been Hubbard?Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 15:10, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Go to one of Hubbard's videos and see if the voice is similar. Even if that wasn't Hubbard himself, could have easily been one of his followers, as in one of the few supporters he has left. Aaronmichael5 22:17 21 November (UTC)
 * Hubbard is too vain to not let you know it’s him. And he’s not much on proving the existence of a god unless that god is himself.Antigem (talk) 23:49, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that I'd recognize the voice and I can't remember the name the caller gave. It was some nonsense about some baseball score being widely improbable along with some link to a bible verse. The player could have had some name like "Telbow". Clearly God is going to reveal himself through the medium of obscure foreign sports scores.
 * Edit. Now I think about it some more - if god revealed his existence through the medium of cricket scores that would be a lot more compelling.  But Baseball?  Seriously?Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 06:52, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I've noticed lately that Hubbard has been shifting gears on this whole thing. A couple years ago it was this big CONSPIRACY that he was supposedly uncovering. The government was running this corrupt scheme to rig these sporting games (along with the elections of course, and just about everything else in existence) and we all needed to BAN together and stop them. But lately, he's been claiming that he's helping people win money through Vegas gambling and shit. So wait, he's using this "corrupt" system as basically a big lottery?! Oh right, it's the same man who is running an entire merchandise store online based on all this, what else would you expect? Aaronmichael5.
 * Almost a year later I'm back. I did some digging and turns out I found that episode of TAE with that moron who tried to use the sports stats (minor correction it was football rather than baseball) to "prove" God exists. https://youtu.be/rBwN9NjSxns?t=1425. Matt Dillahunty sounded like he wanted to crawl under the couch and die when this dude phoned in (and I can't blame him really). by the sound of the voice, it's not Hubbard, but given that this was less than 2 months after Hubbard's article went up, it could easily have been one of his fans that tried to phone in and prove himself worthy.

Teaching credentials
They’re completely fictitious in regards to public school teaching. I’m going to edit the article soon as this is a whopper of a lie that can be researched. Antigem (talk) 11:22, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
