Was playing about in R the other day and decided to make a visualisation of the Gurometer scores. Shared here for the non-Twitterati!

Bear in mind:

1) The scores are from the episode we did, not necessarily an up to date reflection.

2) This is based on Gurometer metrics, which basically count ‘Bad Secular Guru’ characteristics (though Moon’s scores suggest traditional Gurus max out the score).

Why be coy? This proves it, call it what it is, The Weinstein Scale. Love the pod, cheers.

How is Michael O’Fallon so low?

Decoding The Gurus

He’s mostly a bad copy. Alex Jones would get high but many InfoWars employees probably wouldn’t do so well.

Sagan to Moon. That has some cosmic sense-making about it. Would be interesting to see where other religious gurus (e.g. Jim Jones) sat in comparison to Moon.

I’m glad the 0-100 adjusted score was used here! The Gurometer is afflicted by the same scoring problem as yelp or google reviews. IE one cannot rate lower than 1/5 when giving a review.

Poor Bret, always second fiddle to his brother.

can't remember how the scale is derived. does it account for actively seeking acolytes? or is it all related to claims and presentation?
