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/

I think you'd be surprised to find most astrologers are pretty self reflective and curious about the world. I understand why you would dismiss it, but this might be a good opportunity to practice what you're saying by investigating to see if your own preconceptions are correct.

Happy to investigate if they're correct, we could investigate if both of ours are correct by running a test that would update our beliefs! Im down to design a test with you that you find fair

I do but definitely want to fully design the test (and maybe have some external ppl check it) before I give any info
