        I am beginning to think that if we are in a simulation by some superior external entity then these theories about astrology,... might give indications of patterns in people’s lives might be clues to how the simulation functions...

        Lol! Like the solar clock was used to create a pseudo random number generator and then a different team built the personality programmer based on the RNG without checking the documentation.

        (I voted “bad for my mind”) my girlfriend has been super into astrology recently; from what I understand, the motives are similar to those of many religious positions: generalizations that appear to fit your lived circumstance are comforting and reaffirming

        Clarifying my "No, it's bad for my mind" vote -- taking seriously any of the underlying truth claims is flawed and wrong, but I sometimes learn valuable lessons from the generic advice that comes from them. So maybe 90% No/bad, 10% Yes/seriously

        They fall completely as actual ideas, but they're pretty good conversation starters.

        Yes, as they have the only models that describe some of the wyrdness i have come across. It does not mean that those models are correct. It just means that those models can accept the evidence that the scientific models ignore. Observe, hypothesise, test, and, reiterate. :D
