You're way too worked up over this topic. Name calling that other guy and "I've done way more math than you."... Bro you need to get off the uppers. Look in a mirror.

Homie, I was civil up to the moment he started acting like an ass, far past that. I didn't call anyone anything until he did. Dude needs to reexamine himself, you can join him.

Naw bro you sarcastically called him omniscient first. Have a good day.

Yes, because he resolutely claimed absolute certainty, making sweeping, unsubstantiated statements that were just demonstrably false. That's just fundamentally unscientific. My comment was more of a rhetoric device than name-calling.

I don't give half a shit about astrology, what I am passionate about is flippant, unsubstantiated certainty pretending to be scientific thought. It's, as I've said, a brain rot that undercuts the very principles of science. It makes people arrogant, needlessly shuts down thought, and just generally makes a farce of the scientific method. It's not science, it's science fundamentalism, science apologism. It's a poison worth fighting.
