Comment on "Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers"
EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoSure, anyone can look around and see anecdotal evidence that Astrology is nonsense, but it’s nice to have a large statistical data set cleanly proving it.

Normally I’d agree with you but I really don’t think we need empirical data to prove that the time of year someone is born in doesn’t affect their personality decades later, or that the position of celestial bodies relative to another doesn’t cause anyone to have “bad luck” (whatever the fuck that means in scientific terms)

Isn’t the biggest sign that astrology is bullshit because over time the night sky is shifting and “scorpio” people are for example actually “pisces” or whatever?
I mean the other thing is that you can read 4 newspapers and they tell 4 different stories about astrology, but somehow people just believe the thing they like.
