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

[(Anonymous)]

Then a lot of people have a very odd idea of what a joke is. It's rather an elaborate set-up, don't you think? Going around behaving as if they believe in astrology when secretly they don't, because everyone knows that'd be hilarious...?

Sorry. I think it's far more likely that people kinda sorta believe, but haven't really given much thought about how or why they believe. Horoscopes and zodiac signs sound semi-plausible as personality predictors because they're so general they'll apply to nearly everyone. Quite a few people are taken in by this simply because it looks like an impossible trick on the surface. I mean, how could they know I'm sometimes social, but often need my own space??

So when something they take as a casual belief is challenged, their first reaction is to get defensive because someone is questioning a belief they've never bothered to question for themselves. That isn't a nice feeling. Neither is the suspicion that maybe you've come off as rather gullible at best, ignorant at worst. So the usual way of handling it?

Oh, it's all a joke, they were just having fun. You silly thing. :)

You... don't have a very good sense of humour, do you?

Nonny I think you have much stronger feelings about astrology than the average person reading horoscopes.
