I was drunk/high as **** like 8 years ago with some friends, and one of their girlfriends was talking about how much they loved astrology and I mentioned that I definitely didn't believe in planets deciding the fate of every single person on earth, but that I might be open to a form of the personality-being-decided-by-astrological-sign thing.
I read some study or something that said that a mother's state of mind can affect the mental and mood development of an unborn child, and I figured it was at least mildly feasible that the changing of the seasons could have a cyclical effect on children born at certain times of year, especially in the past (winter causes stress due to starvation, spring reduces stress due to not being so ****ing cold, etc).
I'd do some research but I honestly don't give a ****. I thought that people willing to believe in something with little to no evidence behind it would be at least somewhat receptive, but apparently even the barest hint of science and reason takes all the fun out of their superstitious, peasant nonsense.
