In that it was an effort by horrible people to degrade the human condition with no respect for the harm caused along the way sure.

Lmfao how the hell do we have the cult of musk sniffing in Australian politics?

Fun fact: Sussan Ley added an extra 's' to her name because of numerology.

In terms of names determining futures, some politicians change theirs, to master their own destiny. Disgraced former Health Minister Sussan Ley added that superfluous third "s". In 2015, she told the Australian newspaper: "I read about this numerology theory that if you add the numbers that match the letters in your name you can change your personality … If you added an 's' I'd have an incredibly exciting, interesting life and nothing would ever be boring." Careful what you wish for.

Her birth name is Ussan? That explains a lot!
