Astrology is a Predictive Model!? - ChatGPT Says on Aquarian Rising

*Original ChatGPT4 Prompt:*
"Make an argument for how astrology is a mathematical predictive model utilizing natural phenomenon as it's display."

*Additional Notes:*
This is the first of several videos I was looking forward to uploading. For over a decade now, my perspectives on astrology have differed from the typical astrologer or astrology enthusiast. I've always viewed astrology as a tool, I never fixated on it as a spiritual practice or as a replacement for religion as many anti-astrology types like to accuse astrologers and astrology enthusiasts of.

As such, I have for many years now recognized something that I've never heard said from anyone with an interest in astrology: that astrology is not a supernatural phenomenon, nor is it meant to explain how natural forces impose their influence on human behavior. Frankly, there are variables in human existence that astrology doesn't even account for, not because it's a bunch of hokum but because those parameters have not (yet?) been implemented into the system.

Of the few experiments undertaken by "real" scientists with an interest in the subject of astrology, each and every one of them were conducted under the assumption that is typical of the astrological community, that astrology explains how the planets exert influence over human lives. Many arguments have been made to bolster these experiments when they've inevitably failed, such as pointing out records of unusual human and animal behavior during full moons, etc.

But the reason these experiments fail is because they're approaching astrology from the standpoint of physics or things like parapsychology RATHER than from the perspective of mathematics, statistics and social study. It would be like using a ruler to explain why rock music is so moving to the human mind; you're not using a tool that's relevant to what you're attempting to prove or disprove.

For the record, I'm terrible with math and have no background in science beyond my own hobbyist interests. But what I do have is an extremely non-linear mind that tends to see things in ways that other folk rarely think to look, and I have a rigorous, internally consistent catalogue of concepts and ideas that I use to judge whether something is true or not which I add onto every time I encounter a new concept that I'm able to validate.

Of the many online astrological communities I was a part of during my late twenties and early thirties, very few people I had explained this idea of astrology being a predictive model to were willing or able to engage the idea seriously as a consequence of their anchoring biases. It has been an upward battle to get the idea to stick in any significant way among those who engage the topic, which has been as confusing to me at times as it often is discouraging. But I'm hoping that the more people are exposed to the idea, the more people will begin to consider it seriously.

Anyhow, I'm going to end my note section here and thank those of you who have been willing to read these sections of my uploads. I would like to give an account of how I became involved with astrology some time in the future, albeit that isn't a video I've even begun working on as of yet. In the meantime, please share these videos around. I'm a complete novice on YouTube just trying to grow a community around which I might be able to begin planting the seeds of projects I hope can benefit many, many people. But of course, people can't benefit from what they reject off-hand. So your participation is both needed and very much appreciated.

Until next video!
