Are you trying to say the people who spout generic bullshit about humans wrapped into arbitrary boxes are somehow related to actual physics where people do falsifiable experiments?

Because astrology didn't predict shit.

Astrology was just a way for astronomers to earn a living in the age when people didn't care about space. So there is overlap in that the same people would often practice both

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
