Reminder that there used to be a $1,000,000 prize available for anyone who could display any sort of supernatural powers that remained unclaimed for 20 years. The challenge rules required that both parties agree upon the test setup, and several people actually tried to claim it and all failed. It astounds me that anyone still believes in this nonsense and that it seems to be becoming even more popular to believe in literal magic and other supernatural idiocy.
I am at the point where if anyone, ever, for any reason, asks me what my astrological sign is, I stop communicating with them.
They always turn out to be irresponsible, narcissistic idiots every time.
An exception would be if this interaction is taking place completely within the confines of an actually defined fantasy world like a video game or ttrpg.
But real life? People who actually believe there is, or could potentially be anything to astrology?
Dangerous morons.
devil's advocate: there are people like me who don't take it seriously. like I enjoy talking to astrology people because listening to anyone talk about anything they're interested in is downright entertaining, even if I personally don't believe planetary positions have any influence on humans
Lots of people doing something for fun but not taking it seriously is just an advertisement for people that will take it seriously.
That's a fair point. The only time I've recommended/passed along business cards of those in the metaphysical entertainment industry (at least that's what it is to me), have been to others I know are already into it on some level
But I guess I could do inadvertent damage talking about it with those who aren't into it, if they also happen to be in a vulnerable state where the less honest members of that industry could really take advantage of them
That's something to think about. I'm probably going to add "don't bring up my unserious enjoyment of metaphysics to people unless they mention it first" to my personal rules
