It’s about my cousin. She makes choroscopes central to her life. I want to help her stop embarassing herself with that stuff, but she keeps trying to spread her propaganda to others in the family and friend group. A few other women are like her and they feed eachother’s delusions. She has all the tools - tarrot, crystal ball, black cat, healing crystals, books with conspiracies, choroscopes on youtube, some herbs that burn and they chase away bad spirits / the devil… Yeah, she’s religious too on top of that - crosses, church, traditions… No, she doesn’t care about the contradiction. She ain’t stupid, but when it comes to that stuff she’s making a fool of herself. She won’t listen to logic, reason, astronomy, game theory, confirmation bias. We made an experiment once where I showed her how choroscopes are binary choices, they grt it right about 50%, of the time, she understood and 2 days later she was back to reading them 🤦♂️ Please help me get my cousin back, she’s getting worse with age about this stuff, it’s part of the reason shesstill single and her BFs can’t stand living with her. Has anyone had success educating a person like that and pulling them out of the ignorance? submitted by /u/VladIsRambo
