Why Adam Grant Is Wrong About Astrology
Manage episode 499536928 series 3644554
Adam Grant says curiosity about astrology is like believing in conspiracy theories. Here’s why that claim is flawed — and why dismissing personal beliefs with condescension is more dangerous than the beliefs themselves.
In this critical response to Adam Grant's article on astrology, I unpack the flawed research behind his claims and challenge the deeper problem: the condescension toward people who believe differently. While Grant's book "Think Again" promotes intellectual humility and curiosity, his article reflects the opposite—drawing harsh conclusions from weak studies and equating curiosity in astrology with belief in dangerous conspiracy theories. I call for a more compassionate, logical approach to disagreement that allows for belief revision, embraces questioning, and respects individual perspectives without ridicule.
