I have no idea which is sadder. The draconian attitude to freedom of speech or fact that they take this shit serious enough to arrest the guy! :nono:

Arrested? For what? Do they really believe this astronomer astrologer is predicting something here ... or do they imagine he's orchestrating it?

Such senseless paranoia ... isn't fanaticism great. FFS. :nono:

I like the way that a lot of his 'predictions' just happen to agree with forecasts made by economists. :hehe:

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

So, why didn't the astrologer see the arrest coming?
