    Generational divides are at least based in broadly shared material conditions, and while they shouldn’t be used to make assumptions about individuals, they can be used to draw conclusions about large populations as a whole. Astrology simply has no basis whatsoever for anything.

      Yeah. Look, it’s a dick move to roll your eyes at gen-whatever but there are solid reasons that things are different. Foremost being that generations dictate the age of a person so you could say “those 18-30 year olds don’t know shit about how hard we had it when dinosaurs wrecked homes and ate our children.” I mean, being raised during different technological eras alone can change a lot. There is a clear difference. There might be something to astrology too but we don’t have very good evidence of that.
