If you apply the same argument to astrology, would you accept that we should hold it as a valuable part of human civilization as well?
Astrology is older than 2000+ years and it is used by multiple cultures and races. Only recently that scientific advances have convinced a substantial percentage of population to think otherwise.

- patrickgzill 17y agoIf the exact same kind of astrology (not different variants) were used, and it was shown to have predictive power, perhaps I could see the equivalence between gold and astrology. Example: I time travel back to 500AD, do some kind of service, get paid in gold and bury it in a specific place so I can retrieve it. Then in 2010 I get the gold - it has retained its value over that broad span of time. Astrology - I use it in early September 2001 to predict a massive upheaval in US economy - I buy a bunch of short positions on September 9th, 2001 and make a boatload of money.
