Astrology Bullshit Quotes

“Astrology is superstition. A remnant of the ignorant dark ages, when people knew nothing about how the world works.

They believed the earth is flat and the center of the universe. Astrology might have made sense a long time ago, when people didn't know any better. Back then people believed that the stars were gods, with names like Zeus or Mars, the God of war, who had nothing better to do than to watch us down here on earth, and fuck with us. And gods have superpowers. So it would make sense for gods to be able to influence our lives or our decisions. Back then it sounded like there was an internal logic to it all.

But nowadays we know better. Now we know that the earth is not flat and not the center of the universe. And now we know that the stars are not gods with superpowers, but simply suns and planets, millions of miles away. Big balls of gas and rock, flying through space, minding their own business. Mars is not the God of War. Mars is just a big red rock. There is simply no mechanism by which a big rock, flying through space millions of miles away, is gonna affect whether you're gonna get a raise tomorrow or not.

Think about how self-centered and narcissistic that idea actually is. Astrology is the idea that this endlessly big universe and all the trillions of planets in it, are only here to affect whether you are gonna have a good day tomorrow. Because all these big rocks flying through space millions of miles away have nothing better to do than worry about you. Because you're so special, and everything is about you.

The idea behind astrology is so stupid, it's actually kinda funny.”

“ადამიანთა უბადრუკ სუბიექტურობას,რის შედეგადაც ყველაფერი თავიანთ თავზე დაჰყავთ და ნებისმიერი იდეიდან პირდაპირი გზით უბრუნდებიან საკუთარ თავს - შესანიშნავად ადასტურებს ასტროლოგია,ადამიანის უბადრუკ "მეს"-ს,რომ უსადაგებს უზარმაზარ კოსმიურ სხეულთა მოძრაობას და ამქვეყნიურ განხეთქილებებსა და უწმინდურობას კომეტების გამოჩენას უკავშირებს.თუმცა ეს ყოველთვის ასე იყო;თვით უძველეს დროშიაც კი (სტობეოსი,ეკლოგები).”

“When you say someone is stubborn and irrational because they're black, that's racism. When you say someone is stubborn and irrational because they're female, that's sexism. When you say someone is stubborn and irrational because they're a leo, that's astrology. Notice a pattern? It's all nonsense.”
