Idiot.

The SPOG explains and PROVES why there are 30 demigods in

Psychometric correlation matricess, worldwide .
Can't you read? Uncle Al wrote that Hinduism has 360 million deities,
not just 30.

His statement is manifestly absurd, there aren't 360
million names in the Human Language.
On the other hand there ARE 30 eigenvectors in every
comprehensive Psychometric correlation matrix, so there
CERTAINLY ARE 30 "DEMIGODS" in Religion; scientifically
speaking. Stop trying to pretend you're not an aggravated
halfwit heckler.
If I recall correctly, your Psychometric correlation matrix maps out a
"personality space" (and IIRC, it actually isn't your psychometric matrix,
it is Cattell's). The eigenvectors represent orthogonal "directions" within
that space and each would capture some distinct aspects of personality.
Now, as far as gods are concerned: gods can be seen as personality
archetypes. Of course I agree that personality archetypes would necessarily
fit into your "personality space" but it is not at all clear to me that gods
correspond to eigenvectors. So please demonstrate with at least a few
examples how specific gods equate with a specific eigenvectors.
(It's your thesis. You prove it.)
Secondly:
IIRC, your eigenvectors have "levels" or "order". The first order is
lowest, and you proceed level by level up to the highest order, in which
there is a single eigenvector and that, you say, is God who is depicted on
the Sistine Chapel. Now, IIRC you place the Greek gods at a higher order
than Hindu gods. But the Greek gods are personality archetypes of normal
everyday flawed human beings and the Hindu gods (at least in Tibetan
Hinduism) the gods represent aspects of human being who have achieved
enlightenment. Therefore, the Greek gods should be eigenvectors of a lower
order (perhaps the first), and Hindu gods should be a higher order (perhaps
the second).
