Mystery: The Sacrificial Cow Of Insight
"Attention, class. What have we learned in the last two days of intense astrological scrutiny?"
"We've learned that astrology is another well-intentioned way of grossly overgeneralizing and/or oversimplifying certain dynamics and relationships between people in the name of Insight. We have concluded that these certain dynamics and interpersonal relationships should, and do, remain incomprehensible, alluring, and profoundly moving."
"Well said. Anything else?"
"We've learned that worrying too much is a fruitless waste of energy."
"Fine, that's fine. Any resolutions, class?"
"We resolve not to get carried away by sensationalism if we can help it, and also to be satisfied with not knowing."
"Because?"
"Some things are so far-reaching and vast as to defy knowledge."
"Is that an original thought?"
"No. Mirabai introduced it to us. But it's probably been an idea since humanity gained self-consciousness."
"I appreciate your honesty. Class dismissed."

Ooo, rebuttal, rebuttal! Give me something to chew on! If, I mean, if you have time. Hee-hee. Because I'm a foof-head, and I need to be rebutted rather...uh, often. Hee-hee!

Hey, I didn't say *anything*! I was gonna send you a rigorous an' detailed rebuttal against that thingie you sent me, but I thought it woulda been too arrogant. I still wanna show you my Ptolemy book, though. I think you'd dig it, with or without any temptations towards fortunetelling. It's groovy groovy.
