Astrology is, in it's myriad of forms, a field of human inquiry with dates back thousands of years and practiced in one form or another in most cultures in the world.
And those same cultures universally accepted that the sun orbits the earth, but it doesn't. Ancient beliefs are frequently wrong beliefs, and the idea that the movements of heavenly objects influences human life is one of them. Otherwise, someone would have produced reliable evidence that the predictions made by astrology hold true. They don't.
what holds for astrology also holds for homeopathy, that many who currently associate with the label are charlatans, but that others have dedicated their lives with intellectual rigor and discipline and as such have built a body of contentious knowledge
If that were true, then the predictions made by homeopaths regarding the effects of super-dilations on health would have some evidence to support it. It doesn't.
One simple one is the "noon at solstice" measurement. With gnomons, a group of people can measure the length of the shadow of a fixed length gnomon mounted vertically lengthwise at noon at the summer solstice at several different points.
Not one of them brings acknowledges that renewable energy production has been growing in an exponential rate since the 1970s. If we continue at this rate for another 20 years we will be close to fossil fuel independent and another 40 years we will be out of the petro era completely.
And why the fuck would you believe that this exponential rate will continue? Trends commonly grow exponentially at first, only to hit a growth wall soon after.
People do not generally agree as to what is "moral" and what is "immoral", so the idea that there could exist a test that can measure "moral development" is the kind of social-science bullshit that keeps cropping up here.
That's because he: (1) isn't paying himself for his labor, and
(2) isn't trying to make a profit and
(3) doesn't give a fuck if he is "infringing" someone's patents

And unemployed delivery guys will surround them with "pedestrian" mannequins, trapping them until their batteries die.

Are the Sun, Moon, Jupiter (and moons) all Discs as well?
Oh come on.
Everybody knows that they are just pictures on the Celestial Sphere.

FAKE! FAKE!
Besides, I don't believe in gnomes.
All FAKE!

theorists who defend the belief that the earth is flat while living in a society that vehemently denies it
Theorists?
You have piqued my curiosity.
So what did your niece do?
Coal has been completely outcompeted cost-efficiency and emissionswise by practically everything else on the market.
Not in the Third World, unfortunately.
iOS doesn't support mice.
WRONG.
A Bluetooth mouse works fine on iOS.
A Bluetooth mouse works just fine with iOS.
It would be so easy for a "social science" paper.
See "Sokal Affair".
REAL writers hate it!

What ever happened to the good ole days of asking for directions?
Most /.ers are male, and a man would rather be lost for days than ask for directions.
The bad effects of global warming are largely hypothetical still.
I hope you get to experience just how "hypothetical" the pain of a broken bone is.
The BBC fee works because they have guys driving around with Ariel detection vans.
My dad used to drive one of those vans. It was all bullshit.
They actually operated by bribing people to snitch on their neighbours.
Yes, but while the power output of the transmitter was in the 10's of kilowatts, only microwatts were picked up by the receiver's antenna.
That's him over there.
But how does this relate to 5G?
Vaccines barely existed a century ago
And millions died as a result. Too bad your ancestors weren't among them.

WTF?
Is this sarcasm or spam?
If the latter, how did it get through the monitors?
Ha Ha ha, StupidKendall.
Google it. You'll find lots of material on the effects of sunspots (there isn't any of significance).
