Wow, the meta-analysis of comments versus the actual astrology thread are stark: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36840674 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36840674 Looking at both side to side shows how much the materialists influence places like this. 1. Astrology is seen as a "womanly lowly thing", but this has no people yelling such sexist connections. 2. Astrology has the underlying Hermetic beliefs that "As above, so below" and to know thyself, whereas this goal is "make money machine go brrr" 3. Astrologers/diviners know their art is imprecise and say so, whereas this Technical Analysis shrouds itself in "hard math badly applied" to fool people (including themselves). 4. The Materialists (anti-religion, anti-occult, anti-mystic) are absent, whereas in the Astrologer thread they were HOWLING.
