AveryCanadianFilm: Astrology vs Physics - update.

Astrology vs. Physics?

Physics, because to me physics is much more interesting than astrology.

When I was younger, among other things, I wanted to predict things, so I became a physicist because that's what scientists do, very well actually. Still, after looking into astrology deeply, I'm amazed, given the gross approximation that it is, that it gives any useful information at all, and it does but it doesn't seem to me that anyone these days knows why.

However, in my humble opinion, if astrology was systematically developed by, let's say, a few million extremely smart, well educated, and well trained people (or AI bots), working together in a global community with an investment of a few trillion dollars then astrology would probably be better at predicting things etc. That said, I will put astrology in these films because I want to explore non-scientific ways of 'knowing things' and astrology is an example of that. Also, it's interesting to me that many cultures have some form of astrology. Why? Why do many cultures have some form of astrology? Honestly, approximately 24 years ago when I decided to investigate astrology, on its own terms, I thought the notion that the configuration of astronomical objects influence lives here on earth, both individually and collectively, was absurd. Like Wolfgang Pauli I seriously doubted astrological charts had any kind of objective validity and wanted to explore that theme in a fictional context. Hence, its inclusion in these scripts. I sincerely intend to write a nonfiction book about astrology after I'm done with the physics related stuff.

ps. Autocomplete is f-ing annoying can some smart AI people improve that technology! Thanks.

pps. Actually, when I was younger, among other things, I wanted to prove things, but, at that time, the obstacles faced by black people who wanted to do mathematics were huge and still are. I suppose that's one of the reasons why I'm also putting mathematics in these films.

Happy Holidays, good people! :-)

US Election 2024 - the polls close and the us military launches a nuclear capable ICBM. That's the world in which we live.

For those who know something about Astrology, this chart might not look like much - but hey, among other things, it's all about the Quintiles (shorter orange lines).

For example, Sirius Quintile MC, etc

Take care, good people!

Finally getting to work on some sketches for friends abound. It feels good to get things done. Hopefully this productive attitude gets me to the top of my own mountain of work..
