The question of belief in astrology leads to a sort of paradox. It is
like the question "Do you believe in breakfast?" What can you say?
Pseudoquestions need only appear to have answers and this is why they
appear to have an overabundance of good answers. Each pseudoanswer can
score well on criteria for ranking responses without genuinely
expressing a proposition or assessment. They work in the same way that
counterfeit money or fake news works if you don't look at it carefully. This Atlantic article (see link below) suggests
that Millennials, at least those who were interviewed, are in some way conscious of the riddle when they hear
it. This is one area where they can extract themselves from stupidity
and because astrology is the target, this makes astrology all the more
attractive to them.
