I've noticed a lot of people have hopped on the bandwagon of defending astrology and I'm trying to understand why.
Why do they act so condescending towards the skeptics? What is the skeptic doing wrong, in the eyes of the astrology enthusiasts?
It's defensiveness and the "true believer" syndrome.
And you really shouldn't give a fuck what the true believer thinks. They have a problem, not you.
I noticed that even people who don't believe in astrology still resonate with the sentiment that astrology debunkers are cringe. I really want to get to the bottom of why people feel this way.
I remember there was this one tweet that was very popular. It basically said something along the lines of "you should bring up astrology on a first date because it's a good way of figuring out how closed-minded and judgmental your date is"
People who don't even believe in astrology retweeted this like crazy. What could be their thought process?
