Why is physics 'more objective' than astrology - and how can we know it is? VA's theory can't explain
'My fundamental principle of reality is this;Peter Holmes wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 11:31 am Also, the natural science objectivity that VA commends can have no other source than its capacity to explain the way(s) reality actually is - how ever provisional and revisable such explanations are.
Without this capacity, the notion of degrees of objectivity is incoherent. Why is physics 'more objective' than astrology - and how can we know it is? VA's theory can't explain.
whatever is real, exists, true, factual, knowledge and objective is conditioned upon a specific human-based FSRK of which the scientific FSRK* is the most objective.'
The above objectivity is in varying degrees within a continuum, i.e. 0.00 to 100.00.
Also,
There are Two Senses of 'Objectivity', i.e.

1. The FSRK sense of Objectivity [most realistic]
2. The realists' [PH] absolute mind-independent sense of objectivity - grounded on illusions.
We can jettison PH's sense of objectivity in this case since that will only lead to illusions.
To measure objectivity, it is more realistic, optimal and pragmatic to rely on 1 above, i.e. FSRK based objectivity.
According to my principle above, science-physics is conditioned upon the science-physics FSRK while astrology the astrology-FSRK.
Since the scientific FSRK* [at its best] is the most credible and objective at present, it follows the astrology-FSRK must be less objective than the science-physics FSRK.

I won't go into the details, but it is undeniable, if one is a rational person and critical thinker, it is obvious why the scientific FSRK [at its best], thus the science-physics' objective [say* at 90/100] is more objective than pseudo-science-astrology's degree of objective [say 10/100].
* the precise number is not critical at this stage, but rather the above reflect the estimated big relative difference based on a rational calculated guess.
So, "physics is 'more objective' than astrology" QED.
