Talking to bing AI.. there's only around 400 left.
Frequency of Admission: If new 33rd degree Freemasons are admitted every two years, and we assume an average of 100 new members each time, that’s about 50 new members per year.
Calculation:
From 1970 to 2024, that’s 54 years.
If 50 new members are admitted each year, that’s ( 50 \times 54 = 2700 ) members.
Subtract those who would be over 100 years old today (admitted before 1924). Assuming a similar admission rate, that’s ( 50 \times 46 = 2300 ) members.
So, approximately ( 2700 - 2300 = 400 ) living 33rd degree Freemasons might be a more accurate estimate.
a) Form (life) within flow (inception towards death) implies bend within straight.
b) To bestow implies being stow/stau/sta - "to stand, make or be firm", hence straightening up a bend.
c) https://img.gvid.tv/i/2wN4AGaK.jpg ...hence so many spineless worms ignoring to straighten up the bend. To understand contradicts being "upright"...
those who contribute
Contribute implies "allotting together"...being implies lots of ones within all; set apart from one another.

How can a member be free when membership is by admission?
3:05.. "33rd degree Freemason to date there are very few 33rd degree Masons as this
honor is bestowed once every 2 years to those who contribute in the highest form"
