My Thoughts On People Who Try To Debunk Astrology

 I have seen SO many you tubers doing videos trying to debunk astrology. They all say the same things, as if they're copying each other instead of doing actual research.

If you think you can "test" astrology using only sun signs, then you don't understand astrology enough to test it. And if you don't even try to understand it, how are you going to conclude that it doesn't work?

I love how they say that believers are relying on cognitive bias in order to believe in it, while relying on their own cognitive bias to claim it as false...

...they don't care to understand how astrology works because according to their cognitive bias, there is no way astrology could work, so they don't need to study any further... interesting... tell me again how cognitive bias makes me stupid...

Now, I am someone who really wanted to debunk astrology, so much that I studied it. I really wanted to understand why astrologers were saying what they say. I wanted to know how horoscopes were cast, and what information they're getting and how they're using it.

I'm considering doing a "debunking this video" series where I go through each one of these and tell them exactly how their cognitive bias is keeping them from understanding the thing they are trying to pick apart.
