Re: How would you prove astrology? 28 by Jakob Is the way humans categorize the world and being relevant to truth? Are the names that man gives to things suitable for seeing things of the same name as equal or similar in the cosmic sense? Quote Mon May 27, 2024 5:35 pm

Here I am, sitting in the living room eating potato chips, drinking canned seltzer and listening to my phone ping at new email notifications because a gentleman in the forums is giving his sermon. Mumble to myself: Jakob, haven't you caused enough ruckus for one day?! lol thoughts are just thoughts Quote Mon May 27, 2024 5:43 pm

Re: How would you prove astrology? 31 by Jakob The first thing I found was a large database of tornadoes in North America. I come back to George Berkely. The leaf of the tree in front of our noses... Is that really green? Are the same names that we give to things really the same? Quote Mon May 27, 2024 5:59 pm
Re: How would you prove astrology? 32 by Jakob I distanced myself from the tornado idea again. Quote Mon May 27, 2024 6:45 pm
Re: How would you prove astrology? 33 by Jakob It is a cardinal error in the statistical analysis of astrology to regard two facts as the same or similar, which are clearly different in terms of energy, but which people with their limited minds use the same word to describe. That's why it's not surprising that the efforts to prove it have been so unsuccessful so far. Quote Tue May 28, 2024 6:16 am
Re: How would you prove astrology? 34 by Jakob There is a similar phenomenon in medicine and psychology. Different illnesses are given the same names and no one is surprised when most things are declared to be uncurable, even though that is not true at all. But ok, neither are scientific disciplines in the strictest sense, which is why most chronic diseases are only managed and not cured. Quote Tue May 28, 2024 6:53 am
Re: How would you prove astrology? 35 by Jakob I finally found a database with football match reports from European leagues spanning 6 decades. Quote Tue May 28, 2024 7:46 am
Re: How would you prove astrology? 36 by Jakob Match reports with details of the events were included for 1,000s of games. What can be usefully used astrologically? Quote Tue May 28, 2024 9:40 am
