Ppl who are real into astrology/conspiracies/woo beliefs *really* trigger me, but it's not because of the beliefs themselves, it's what it indicates about the person. To me, it implies a profound lack of curiosity in checking to see if their beliefs are true. 1/

It’s even wilder that a lot of us in that sphere are actually very smart and often very educated people, with great analytical skills, but also with compassion for human spiritual needs. It’s almost like we’re aware that multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary thinking is valid.

Sounds like you’ve had a very limited experience with likely very limited astrologers. This is kind of like basing your opinion on a report given by a high school freshman. I’m reluctant to tag good follows, tbh, because I don’t want to throw anyone into a ring by surprise.

i feel like people don't understand i am legitimately open to updating my beliefs about this given good evidence. If we run a few tests and it comes up with results i didn't anticipate, i would absolutely publicly be like 'whoah i mighta been wrong about this'

The next time you're in a hospital, ask for personal beliefs held by your doctors. You would be surprised. I was a software engineer until I had to leave due to health issues. Personal faith systems and formal education does not have a link.

Back in the 1970s, I had a pretty elaborate book on astrology and followed it quite seriously, charting not just sun signs but the positions of all the planets and our moon (which is a challenge to place without better ephemerides than I had). It's forgivable for the young.
