127: The Astrology Episode: You Can't Snap You Fingers and Achieve Inner Peace, but You Can Get Into Astrology
Manage episode 332212511 series 2801148
Isabel got invited to an astrology party and so in this episode we talk about the rise in popularity of astrology and why we think it has been so trendy even though we think it is kind of bullshit and also why it might be useful in your life even if you think it is kind of bullshit. We also talk about the general category of similar personality categorizers such as enneagram, Myers-Briggs, DISC, and other random personality paradigms that people use and why they might be useful or not. Deondre's favorite is enneagram, and says he is a Type 2 Wing 3, and Isabel has been told she is a Type 8. This leads us into a broader conversation about our desire to organize the world when we generally feel like there are all of these crises all happening at once, and how maybe all of these silly little personality quizzes and our desire to grow basil and be little cottagecore fairies in the woods might stem from a darker, more survivalist place even though the manifestation might actually look pretty cute and harmless.
