00:00My question is, what is your opinion about Astrology, because a large chunk of people
00:05with even rational mindset, they also believe in Astrology, do you believe in it personally?
00:11If yes, why?
00:12And why not?
00:13So here is the point blank answer, anybody who believes in Astrology cannot be a rational
00:17person.
00:18A narrative cannot be termed as a science.
00:22I come up with a story and I say this story is science, no, the story is not science.
00:27Science is based on verifiable and falsifiable experiments, show me that it works, display
00:34it right in front of me and I'll be very happy to accept and nothing can ever be displayed
00:40in this field.
00:41All you have is a set of beliefs, belief that this thing will happen.
00:45Why to believe it?
00:46Because you know, some person has been talking of these things, so you too should believe.
00:51If you don't believe, maybe you will meet some harm, so it's safer for you that you
00:54just believe.
00:55There is no sense in this.
00:56There is just fear and insecurity.
