Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

I understand what you're saying, but you're operating with a different definition of "right" than I am. One's birth date/time doesn't predict one's personality. It just doesn't. Even if people start to behave like the stereotypes they believe in, it still doesn't mean they're correct in thinking that birth date/times predict personalities. It still doesn't. The force responsible for horoscopes and personalities matching up is people behaving in predictable ways, not any supernatural elements.

The effect is still the same, though. Libras will tend to act like ____, and ____ will be a stereotypical "Virgo" trait. Because we tell ourselves it's true.

I think the only thing we actually disagree about is whether or not people truly believe the stars determine our personalities. I've never met someone who genuinely thought that - fringe kooks aside it's just for fun, it's a social game, and it has some basis in reality because we tell ourselves it does.
