Science is incapable of ever being truthful because every scientist is an amoral wannabee friend of Jeffrey Epstein. These nerds literally take lessons in school to learn how to beg for patronage to do research. Of course their studies usually end up being about managerial bourgeois praxis like using skull shape measurements to categorize workers. That's what personality psychology is about at the end of the day, Brave New World style eugenics with humane empathy for wage slaves.

    A tinder date once made a massive scene in a cafe because, as a joke, I decided to tell her I was a different sign than I was. When I told her the truth she quite literally lost it.

      Goodness. I hope she's calmed down. I have heard a lot of anecdotal stuff like this from associates and coworkers about astrology, but I've never encountered people who were deep into it except one very strange classmate. My one coworker says her sister always asks people what their sign is before deciding if they should even talk to them, like a weird manufactured elitism over birthdays.

      I can't really despise astrology too much though, even as this personality tier list thing it seems to be sometimes, because in my hometown the personality ranking systems are just racism and classism.

      I can vaguely understand the astrology interest among women and LGBTQ+ folk, some kind of alternative structure for understanding yourself and others, unless I'm also misunderstanding that. I'm a complete idiot and have had such little exposure to this stuff. Everyone around where I live believes astrology is devil worship and child sacrifice.
