Astrology and the Barnum Effect
This chapter explores the Barnum effect and how vague statements in astrology allow individuals to find personal meaning, despite a lack of scientific validity. It discusses the psychological allure of horoscopes, confirmation bias, and the societal implications of embracing pseudoscience. The chapter underscores the potential dangers of astrology, particularly when endorsed by influential figures, and advocates for a shift towards empirically supported understanding of the universe.
