Statistical data/evidence isn't infallible fyi

Still better than anecdotal, isn’t it?

In regards to Astrology? I'd say the difference is minuscule.

The very reason astrology exists is based on common observations. It’s just a less organized form of social science. But ok.

Soooo... It's anecdotal.
Pretty much the only statistical data you're going to be able to find is the population demographics broken down by placement.

Anecdotal would be one person noticing something about someone. Statistical is many people in a group displaying the same behavior.

Have any statistical data in regards to astrology you can provide me?

Everyone takes mental notes. It’s a science based on word of mouth but it’s still not anecdotal because people discuss the observations they’ve made and come to an agreement based on what is more common in one group over another.

I don't think you know what anecdotal data/evidence is.
You lost me...I'd like another PSA please.

Also, do you realize how much of social research is controlled by people in power? There is a study that reveals common trait s among twins separated at birth which has been kept sealed and won’t be revealed for decades.It’s called the Neubauer Twin Study.

You are using a very literal definition of the terms. My point is that one person saying an observation about a group is wrong doesn’t prove anything when everyone else has made the observation of other people in the group. That is basic disregard of how social science works. That’s the equivalent of someone trying to disprove a statistical study by saying one person is different. The results are still there. A tendency in one group can’t be denied just because one person doesn’t exhibit that tendency.
The Neubauer Twin study is the only one of its kind due to the complications of running a study in such a manner. The only reason there is no organized research is because people don’t want to be studied and aren’t ready for it.

So again.. the difference between (like I originally stated), is minute.
Statistical data doesn't mean much (and can be manipulated subjectively) without the use of a control in a study. Scientific method and all that. You're unlikely to find much empirical evidence for astrology, let alone statistical.
I ask again..

Posted by BlueVelvetThe Neubauer Twin study is the only one of its kind due to the complications of running a study in such a manner. The only reason there is no organized research is because people don’t want to be studied and aren’t ready for it.
What does this study matter?
They wouldn't be able to publish their DOB to gain any astrological data from it. Laws prohibit the sharing of such data without explicit consent prior to a study being completed.

They already did the study and found information about jobs held, behaviors, etc. I don’t know what else but if you watch some documentaries they show you. What you are telling me is probably why they locked it up and the people interviewed in the documentaries were notably upset about it but when it comes to astrology it means a lot. These twins had the same jobs, same hobbies. It’s crazy. But the reason they even got away with it is because they were given up for adoption. Anyway my point is in reference to you asking where the evidence is. It’s there. But clearly you’re just twisting the convo in all sorts of ways just to be silly and I’ve used up my Dxp minutes.

You have their DOBs?
I believe in seasonal influence, just like temperature can change the gender ratio of tadpoles, several seasonal indexes might have long term affect on the behaviour of individuals.
This is my leading theory so far.

That's a sick lie. Listen to yourself. Shameless.
There's been plenty of studies dating back to the 80s of Neuroscientist doing various research on the collective conciousness, brain and mental illness all with consent!

Huh? I’m talking about twin studies, when they’re separated at birth.. I never said anything about consent. That was Dazed.
Astrology is one of the last mysteries left on this stifling over connected world. An interesting paradox where all empirical knowledge points to superstition, whereas honest observation tends to lend some weight that goes slightly beyond the confirmation/conformation bias.
An intellectual delicacy for the super minds of this century.
Posted by Phantom_LimboNo, thank you. I would like to reassign characteristics to all the signs based on one person who I personally know and cannot be unbiased about.

Anecdotal evidence does not defeat statistical evidence, EVEN IN ASTROLOGY. I get that half of you are pretending you don’t acknowledge astrology at all, but there are obvious observations everyone has made whether you pretend to believe it or not. When someone points out an observation that has been made by nearly everyone, saying “nuh uh my boyfran idnt like dat” doesn’t prove anything. Just get out of here with that whiney bs. If you find that not a single person of that group has demonstrated such a behavior, then you are onto something.
Thank you and you’re welcome.
