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.

You're not allowed to understand or question it.

I think I remember that study. And the thing about the season/month of one's birth affecting their health and mental state later on may be somewhat true as well according to these two studies (not that anyone cares) :
Data scientists find connections between birth month and health
Birth season affects your mood in later life, new research suggests

Quote:

According to lead researcher, Assistant Professor Xenia Gonda, "Biochemical studies have shown that the season in which you are born has an influence on certain monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, which is detectable even in adult life. This led us to believe that birth season may have a longer-lasting effect. Our work looked at over 400 subjects and matched their birth season to personality types in later life. Basically, it seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders."
The group found the following statistically significant trends:

· cyclothymic temperament (characterized by rapid, frequent swings between sad and cheerful moods), is significantly higher in those born in the summer, in comparison with those born in the winter.

· Hyperthymic temperament -- a tendency to be excessively positive -- were significantly higher in those born in spring and summer.

· Those born in the winter were significantly less prone to irritable temperament than those born at other times of the year.

· Those born in autumn show a significantly lower tendency to depressive temperament than those born in winter.

My friend always told me "until they can prove what dark matter is, I'm going to believe in astrology"

He's stupid.
