Which is not stupid, after all.

I'll copy yours and post it.<br /><br /><br />Re political orientation and astrology/biology:<br /><br />I suppose the Chinese are born (as we in the west are) some with one brain part bigger than another, so maybe those with ambitions to emigrate have similar brain pattern to western conservatives. ???<br /><br />I probably haven't made my main purpose in this topic very clear.<br />I don't wish for any manipulation -far from it - we have enough of that already. It's just that whenever scientists come up with such findings as described here, I always wonder whether there would be astrological/planetary correlation . If so it would go a long way to explaining what kind of "force" there is behind astrology......We who regularly watch know that "something is happening here" but we don't know what it is. I have always had the urge to try to find out. It seems that I'm pretty much on my own in this though. nobody else seems interested - even the pros.<br /><br />;-(Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-7753922909470456002011-04-20T10:12:01.179-05:002011-04-20T10:12:01.179-05:00Today's Wall Street Journal reports that 50 % ...Today's Wall Street Journal reports that 50 % of rich Chinese citizens contemplate to emigrate.<br /><br />Knowing that to become rich in China, one has to be a Communist (or related to one of them), it's to be pondered whether the "valet filling up and moving to the right breast pocket" may not have an impact on blod-circulation/brain orientation etc.<br /><br />And this might then become a hereditary trait.<br /><br />I doubt that astrology can be helpfull in determining conservatism or left leanings, other that Saturn and it's predominance (or absence of influence) in a natal horoscope.<br /><br />What matters more is receptivity to perceived life-comforts or risk. Some prefer to live in comfort, others need more stimulus than that to feel being alive (and of any use).<br /><br />Personally I do hope that no scientist will ever find out some astrological way to "manipulate political leanings". It's such a poor environment, generally, that the stars be better not draged that low.Gian Paulnoreply@blogger.com
