At first I was rather shocked that literally one of the most powerful women in the world that runs literally the most powerful institution in the world would so unabashedly express her occult beliefs in a public forum. But strictly from a theological sense, I'm not one bit surprised. Her numerological hokum is at 7:20 of the video...

I'm not sure she intended this to be taken literally. Her point seemed to be that no progress will happen randomly but will only come about by adopting good policies. But, yes, it was pretty bizarre. Is she a professed Wiccan or neo-Pagan of some kind?אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

Posted it here because I didn't know where else to post it. Didn't seem quite as relevant in the civics section.

It's not at 7:20, it's at 7:44. Moreover, she goes on to refer to the numerology gibber-jabber as "magic" at 8:23, and I would imagine she defines "magic" as silly playfulness.
OR
I could be completely wrong and she's a witch. Neither of these possibilities seem all that significant though..

As far as it being significant... say you were being trained to pilot a plane. It was just you and the professional pilot. Just before you get into the plane with him, the pilot starts openly spouting off astrological signs and interpretations to you that he believed had occurred and was occurring, implying it might affect the flight somehow. Even though you have no idea what he's talking about, how eager are going to be to get into the plane with the dude? It's significant because she's head of the IMF.

Originally posted by Scrawly View PostI think you might be reading too much into this. Ms. Lagarde was still in the introductory portion of her talk and therefore a whimsical, comical remark was not exactly out of place. She even transitioned by stating "moving on"; in other words, joke-time is over and now on to serious business.

At least not as a transition from her numerology spiel to the global economy.

Well, it seems to me that she transitioned out of her more silly, introductory stage onto a progressively more serious note. This is highly usual for a professional speech/talk.
