Surely this is some form of high satire that has gone over my head. Surely.

Not if they don’t have any wealth.

They don’t need wealth if they control the means of production. It’s just a matter of making them understand that they have all of the power; all they need to do is unite.

I hope that one day you’re able to get past this penchant for resorting to magical thinking.

You may think that astrology is just harmless fun, but at a societal level, the acceptable of pseudoscience like this as meritorious is dangerous.

This is the kind of thinking that leads to being anti-vax, and why children are dying of fucking measles again.

This is the kind of thinking that allows people to completely ignore the science surrounding it, and stake their entire personality on the belief that abortion is literal murder.

You’re eroding away your own ability to think critically.

The universe is incredible enough, there’s zero reason to ascribe magic traits to things without evidence. Learn astronomy instead, and be blown away when you can empirically prove the insane shit that you see.

You should really go ahead and claim your Nobel Prize for being the first person to ever provide evidence for the effectiveness of astrology.

I’m not kidding. where is your Nobel Prize?

. It simply shows that around that time is a cosmic fertile ground for these types of forces to clash and for a tension that has been building to be released one way or another.

Please explain what “cosmic fertile ground” actually means.

Please explain to me how balls of gas billions of miles away (that, fyi aren’t even in the shapes you think that they are, they only appear that way because of the angle you’re viewing them at) have any affect whatsoever on the events of this planet.

Show your work. And then send it to the Nobel Prize Committee and claim your $1 million prize.

Once again, you need to provide evidence and you cannot. But I guess “it feels right” is enough for you.

Yeah that’s not how science works.

You are the one making the claim (“astrology is real”) and therefore the honus is on you to provide evidence. And the saying holds true. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

And you cannot provide that because it does not exist.

Edit: I just had another thought about your initial claim… You said that it works “when done correctly.”

I’m wondering, how does one know if the astrology was done correctly aside from the prediction ending up being correct? So wouldn’t that be a tautology?

It would be like saying that, “if you flip a coin correctly, it will always end up on tails,” with the only measure of success being “it landed on tails, therefore you flipped it correctly.” Therefore, by definition, flipping a coin “correctly” has a 100% success rate.

Do you see how meaningless all of that is?

Tree law in the US can also be pretty intense. I think it varies by area though.

astrology when done well can be scarily accurate.

LOL no.

Yeah I read the first sentence of the post in the image, and closed the page. No, the movement of the planets doesn’t mean Trump is declaring martial law on 4/20. For fuck sake…

The librarian at your school 30 years ago probably also taught you about the card catalogue and the Dewey Decimal System.

Have you… never been to a library?
