Do we really have to be respectful of deliberate nonsense? It seems that only serves to validate that nonsense as worthy of serious debate... which it isn’t. This time policing serves only to help spread the ridiculous conspiracy theories, anti-science, and anti-reason. Taking the high road has repeatedly failed in public discourse. |

I am more humble than that.
It's not so much that I respect it out of awe or because I think it needs to be validated or is correct. It's that I disagree with such a hyper-rational conviction that there's no possible correlation between astrological events and human behavior (a market is entirely human behavior). Such conviction can be.. dangerous.
I do not believe a market is rational or scientific (they are certainly "efficient" though). I actually find those with a desire to approach such a human phenomenon scientifically to also fall in the anti-science anti-reason bucket, because they do not understand the limits of the scientific method or western rationalism.
When presented with a black-box market:
The scientific method can help you discover a model that answers the question, "how does the market work?".
Science cannot answer the question, "why does the market move?".
