    devil’s advocate: there are people like me who don’t take it seriously. like I enjoy talking to astrology people because listening to anyone talk about anything they’re interested in is downright entertaining, even if I personally don’t believe planetary positions have any influence on humans

      Lots of people doing something for fun but not taking it seriously is just an advertisement for people that will take it seriously.

        That’s a fair point. The only time I’ve recommended/passed along business cards of those in the metaphysical entertainment industry (at least that’s what it is to me), have been to others I know are already into it on some level

        But I guess I could do inadvertent damage talking about it with those who aren’t into it, if they also happen to be in a vulnerable state where the less honest members of that industry could really take advantage of them

        That’s something to think about. I’m probably going to add “don’t bring up my unserious enjoyment of metaphysics to people unless they mention it first” to my personal rules
