So he brings up multiple examples of things that aren't considered a science, but theoretically could be with enough research and development-- such as aroma therapy His final example is astrology Like, zodiacs and star signs and s--- He pulls up a slide on the powerpoint with the description of a Virgo. He asks the class if there's anyone in here who is a Virgo, to which only one person raised their hand He asks her to read the description on the slide aloud to the class and to say whether or not she thought it applied to her, if she found it an accurate descriptor of her personality So she reads the whole thing and says that she thinks it describes her pretty well [6/2] The description of the Virgo was your average astrology thingy. Contradicting itself left and right to try and apply to as many people as possible. "Likes to be alone but requires people to fully thrive", "tends to be quiet, but can liven up a room with their powerful voice". S--- like that Eventually, he asks the room if, regardless of their actual sign, that description applies to them in some capacity. More than half the room raises their hands, including me Five seconds later, he points to the slide and says "this isn't the description of a Virgo. It's a Taurus. The name is just switched." "Not a science." "Can it be tested?" The room is silent. "No. It can't be tested. It's not observable. It's too arbitrary and vague." "Not a science."
