Tell me about astrology, why the people still believe in this

>>7793479
People believe in a lot of stupid shit. There are even people who believe philosophy hasn't been made obsolete by science.

Why do you believe this is an appropriate subject for /sci/

TL;DR
>People are afraid of chaos and want to put order into their lives.
>The belief that your personality is determined by the stars when you're born is comforting to some
>The Barnum Effect makes people believe a generic set of statements ("sometimes you need some alone time" or "[your constellation sign]s tend to be critical of themselves") are tailored to them

Although I'm curious as to why a majority of women believe in astrology while men don't

>>7793529
Because they are more emotional instead and lack logic and reason. Which explains why they are so bad at STEM.

/sci/ believes math is science for crying out loud

>>7793620
Almost everyone believes that. In many university it is clustered at with the faculty of natural sciences. I mean I get it why, it quite difficult to explain what math is.

>>7793628
Some Unis do put maths and physics together, but its just heresy to put maths with biology or even chemistry.

physicist here, I think it's just as much "heresy" to put math and physics together (assuming we're on the same page about why). in general i'm pretty sure people just see math is used in science and go "wow, i don't understand all of it" so they just group it up with their descriptor of stuff that they're too lazy/dumb to learn about, "science."

as for >>7793620 well /sci/ in particular is a shit board what can you expect

>>7793536
The same reason why women buy snake oil in the form of cosmetics and beauty supplies whilst men are drawn to pseudoscientific snake oil such as penis enhancements, The Red Pill, social Darwinism and Crossfit. Both genders are equally stupid and prone to emotional manipulation, just in different ways due to cultural factors.

In China it is men who are overwhelmingly into astrology.

Yea no you are absolutely right I was just venting some rage

If you don't believe in astrology you're a fedora tipping nerd loser. IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE BIBLE FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
