That’s like saying Huckleberry Finn doesn’t exist. Just because it’s made-up doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It exists as a concept which billions of people understand.
I think it is pretty clear in the context of the joke that they weren’t saying the concept doesn’t exist they were saying the attributes of the concept doesn’t exist.
The Sun’s position on the ecliptic at the vernal equinox is not a “concept”, it’s a physical reality, recognised by the International Astronomical Union.
And the astrology signs exist as a concept as recognized by thousands of years of human history dating back to Babylonia 2 BCE. Yes we understand that they’re likely completely bogus, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.
This thread is so dumb. The signs, and the Sun’s progression through them, are as real as anything else in the sky.
Turns out you can make up any arbitrary distinctions and they just start existing. The question is if they severe any useful purpose.
I can make zodiac 2.0 exist by adding shoe size to distinguish between regular aquarius and aquarius without platypus (above EU 42 is with). So now the Zodiac 2.0 exists with the same predictive power as 1.0.
This is dumb. Dinosaurs looks are so diverse. He should have chosen a specific one.
Dinosaur fish!
At least narrow it down to clade, like just Theropods or something.
Dinosaurs don’t exist?!
As a zodiac sign, no they do not.
But dragons do?
Botanically, dragons are dinosaurs but not the other way around. Most dinosaurs were not dragons.
Botanically speaking, that’s bananas.
Which is my zodiac sign by the way
You’re missing out on some wild pussy.
I would argue that the zodiac is the proto-science of psychology.
This is people trying to find behavioral patterns
Fuck those people who wanna categorize me so they can ignore who I actually am and just put a handle on me.
They want to understand you
No they don’t. They want to put me in a neat little box for easy handling.
Oh. I wanna steal this.
You don’t have to steel it. It’s a virtual picture. You can download it and share it with everyone, as often as you like, whenever you want. There’s no cost attached in sharing data other than hardware and energy
