Astrology brings out a different side of me cause my father was literally obsessed with it and owned a billion astrology books and constantly talked about his chart. I have no sense of it being frivolous, I’m just like, “ah yeah astrology the dork religion”— Big Joel (@biggestjoel) April 4, 2022
Sports are similarly a opiate of the masses but people don't complain about that as readily as they do astrology. So self crit is prudent to make sure why we do what we do.
Stars are fake. The moon isn’t actually in the sky it’s all an illusion. The North Star isn’t bright. Those collections of stars haven’t formed the same shape for thousands of years. It’s all a conspiracy by Stanley Tucci
I find most sports extremely boring to watch, but I kinda get having hometown pride and wanting your team to win in order to have bragging rights for a bit. People who get deep into that shit and can only talk about sports and sports stats and are in sports clubs that war with other clubs are pathetic losers who should get another hobby.
Side note, what’s the end goal of sports hooligan gangs? Like don’t you want your team to have opponents to play against? If your gang was successful in murdering all the supports of the opponent team wouldn’t that mean you team would have nobody to play against? What would they just stand around the field?
I get the appeal of playing sports, it’s exercise with your friends. I find WATCHING sports really fucking boring generally, especially American Football, it’s 90% standing around and commercial breaks.
Astrology is useful as it proives some emotional support dealing with the world dying and every structure you were trained to trust betraying you repeatedly.
There is no possible good faith interpretation of what I said that would lead to what you said.
Let the children play. is what I say. If you want to invest the time to raise them so they are no longer children that is good. However, you can't be mad at children for playing. Especially since stoping them from playing does help anything and just serves to make their lives worse.
He found a way to be anti astrology that isn't specifically sexist. Get ready for a the worst people you can imagine to weaponize the new technique

Nobody goes around pretending they can tell the future or understand people's personalities based on the results of sports games

That's what makes it so quintessentially American

So does drinking and overeating. If the best you can say about astrology is that it's a coping mechanism you might as well ditch it.
Replacing it is fine. Taking away a person's coping mechanism without replacing does not improve their lot

Does that feel like a healthy way to talk about a fellow alienated worker to you?

What would you want from a person so lost that they hope old roman star maps can give their lives any meaning?
