Astrologycels seethe at... Western science :marseygoodnight:

https://twitter.com/dejathejovian/status/1396822985659535362

Honestly? Idk why astrology is considered a “pseudoscience” quite frankly idk why anything is considered a “pseudoscience” I feel like it’s an attempt to delegitimatize non western methods of collecting and understanding data

You hear that? B/c the yts made the "scientific" method, we need to reimagine it and decolonize it ✊🏿

Astrology is just ancient predictive statistics. We use statistics to predict human behavior and outcomes every day in modern society and no one bats an eye.

Yes because collecting experimental data and using it to construct a model is totally the same as soypointing at the sky and deluding yourself into thinking that you are going to get rich one day. Q predicted this

i 100% agree. this stems from the enlightenment era notion that western “logic” & “reason” are superior forms of knowledge, which falsely assumes western concepts are the only types of “legitimate” knowledge to exist & perpetuates erasure of non-western knowledge production.

Western philosophy since the classical era BTFO

Foundations of mathematics BTFO

Scientific method BTFO

"Logic" and "reason" now considered as jewish lies

as a social scientist, i see there is a major tendency to dismiss any method of data collection that isn’t quantitative, which is harmful, reductive, & obscures thousands of years of built knowledge via non-western frameworks (which ironically is the basis for STEM today anyway)

Anthropologist destroys the entirety of science in one (1) sweep. How will the church of Pfizer recover?

:marseygoodnight:

Anyways, I don't know a better method of data collection other than the "Western" one. Do I have internalized yt supremacy?

I find it funny that they consider astrology 'NON WESTERN' when all the eurostrags and mediteranianstrags back before they were cucked by arabs were all into that shit

Yeah, the ancient Egyptians tell you how to use a method to test whether or not someone has a disease, and the ancient Mesopotamian modeled celestial phenomena mathematically, presumably observing how well their predictions aligned with reality.

Some semblance of the scientific method appears “obvious” to humans, with the notable exception of astrologers.

Frick, mayos are really doubling down on the whole noble savages thing.

I think the astrology stuff is a really interesting consequence of the widespread loss of religion in first world countries. It just shows that no matter how much we claim we don't need religion, we always fill the gaps with something. Whether that's astrology or witchcraft or politics or hecking science. I have no idea if it's a bad thing but it's certainly amusing

There's an interesting phenomenon in Eastern Europe. Poland is ultracatholic, and everyone will tell you that that's their religion. Czechia on the other hand next door are almost entirely unreligious, but if you take surveys of what Czech people believe, a huge number of them consider themselves to be 'spiritual'. So the religion indeed never goes anywhere, just flips to another type of magical thinking when organised religion isn't popular.

"The ancient and curious thing called religion, as it shows itself in the modern world, is often so overladen with excrescences and irrelevancies that its fundamental nature tends to be obscured.

Its [religion's] single function is to give man access to the powers which seem to control his destiny, and its single purpose is to induce those powers to be friendly to him. ...they are the only common characters that all of them show. Nothing else is essential."--HL Mencken.

The worst are the "hecking science" people. I knew a chick who believed we all had some sort of "energy" that linked ("entangled") us all. She just shoehorned some terms from quantum mechanics into the concept of a soul.

It’s bad in my humble opinion because religion frequently looks outward to our behavior and treatment of others (mercy & forgiveness being the basis of my personal faith) whereas astrology looks inward at one’s fortunes.

And people wonder why I hate social media.

Because it gives these abject r-slurs just as much voice as any expert in the field. And since r-slurs outnumber the educated by orders of magnitude and also are much more vocal about it, they dominate the discussions on social media (see also commies). And then mom and pop normie-boomer wander in, see the majority opinion, and because they dont really care that much and assume the majority knows what it is doing, adopt that opinion as well.

Social media has legitimately made me reconsider my stance towards democracy.

It's a legitimately dangerous way to view the world. You get ill and because everything is equal and truth is your interpretation etc you decide not to get treated (or treated by some scammer chanting at you or some such shit) and then die because your illness wasn't treated.

Let me argue to contrary of this post just for fun!

Let's agree that by western we mean the classical "logic and reason".

There are things, important things, that cannot be inferred by western methods. I think morality is one of these. Imagine that we don't intrinsically value human life. Maybe we could justify killing people to prevent climate change. How do we value love with "logic and reason"?

I know I could insert cost calculation like insurances do, but for most normal people, the value of life has nothing to do how many dollars you will generate. But if life had a monetary value, then we could justify slavery by saying that if a rich person pays a parent the expected value of the life of the child, then he can get a slave morally.

I know that they are using this argument in the wrong way to say that 'engineering' is just as valuable as astrology. That's because they are interpreting their own way of seeing the world wrongly.

And also, Astrology have some basis in reality. Babies born in the winter have difference tendencies to the ones burn in the summer. https://sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/12/101205202510.htm

This is not exactly a validation of the astrology stuff, but I think in astrology there is useful information, but it is encoded with a lot of noise around it, but some small nugget of truth exist in there.

What I'm trying to say is: "logic and reason" is not the end all of everything. There are other important things, arguably more important than it. And I think that this is the 'truth' that all the woke bs is trying to transmit but they go at it the complete wrong way. I also think that religion filled this hole until the last 50 (+/-) years.

(Also, I don't know enough philosophy or epistemology to have a real educated opinion on this, this is just a result of my naïve observations)

The problem is that morality describes the "ought", but astrology describes the "is". Astrology does not describe how people should act, it describes what things will happen, which makes it entirely reasonable to judge it against science.

Also, any website with "science" in its name is likely shit, and publishing barely reputable papers, because real innovations are slow and they want to keep thier readers engaged

Why the frick do people consider it colonialism when one guy comes up with some fricking idea and another guy is like “wow, great fricking idea, I’m gonna do that shit”? That’s how the exchange of ideas works. Nobody colonized Africa to teach them the scientific method, we did it to steal their shit.

They probably were for the first hundred thousand years, because they had the magic babyhole and all that. And that's why we went nowhere, slowly, for a hundred thousand years.
