There is a psychic/astrology storefront near my office. Some of my students have used her services and suggested that I check it out, as a lark. I have yet to do so. Adam Grant recently devoted a Substack post to destroying any last remaining shred of credibility of astrology. Not only is astrology a bunch of malarky - as the science proves! - but it is a “gateway drug” to other strange and unmoored ideas. I’m not sure about the “gateway drug” bit (more on that below), but I totally agree with the rest. Even as entertainment, I recoil at the idea of giving my money to a charlatan.
