    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.

      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?

                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.
