Yup, just glorified bigotry lol if someone asks me what time I was born on a first date, I'm not calling back smh
Ouuuuu thank you for this! I’ve been looking for a resource about this but didn’t know what to search other than confirmation bias >

I've already thought about confirmation bias, even though I didn't call it that in my head lol that is a valid rebuttal. 
However, I will use the very risky example of racial stereotypes. We all have really clear notions in our heads that we have to suppress for morality's sake. And even though there are obviously people who perfectly fit that stereotype, there are always just as many people who barely adhere to the said stereotype, if at all. Same thing with any typology, not just race or astrology. 
And yet, because of the power of numbers alone, these stereotypes will always be valid until they are deemed obsolete bc they simply aren't at all true anymore. But that is obviously my opinion and I don't condone prejudice and prematurely judging people. A lot of it COULD be confirmation bias. However..
Everyone often forgets that two things can be true at the same time and I don't think that either of our theories are mutually exclusive. >

Cool! Thanks for sharing your perspective. It’s all an interesting thought experiment for me >

Astrology is bullshit. There is no it might be real. It is bullshit. It can’t be stereotyping because it isn’t possible for all people born in the same month to have the same behaviour or whatever. Unless the number of people is so large that the sheer number makes it possible for people to have a couple of characteristics and their birth month the same. Yes we made it up. >

That is exactly what I'm saying. I think roughly 8 billion living and countless not living people over the course of thousands of years are a big enough sample size for said observations to be made. Which is the only reason it can even have any validity whatsoever. Because of the past and nothing else. >

I've been downvoted, but I have as much control over the month I was born at as I do having a belly button 😅😅😅
So what I feel like this is a socially acceptable form of bigotry.
