Don't worry. I've got you covered. Come on in. I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Mike Mon and you're listening to no stupid questions.

Today on the show, what's going on with the rising interest in astrology and the occult?

Who is buying crystals around the corner from Antila Duckhorse's house repeatedly. Mike, we have this amazing question from Anonymous and it goes like this.

Hi Angela and Mike, I have a question about young people's rising interest in

astrology and the occult. Are you on the edge of your seat at Mike? Yes, I actually am now.

I'm a 37-year-old man with a 26 year old sister.

My sister is smart, well educated, and she knows how to think critically.

In spite of this, she believes strongly in astrology, and she has a growing

collection of crystals that she says bring things like luck and wealth into her life.

Her friends seem to be increasingly self-identifying as

witches. The whole thing seems so silly to me. They don't seem to experience any

cognitive dissonance over the fact that they believe in the scientific

method, but also think that, quote, charging Rose Quartz, unquote, will help them find

inner peace.

What's going on here?

Thanks, anonymous.

I think I now know why this is anonymous.

I was going to say, this guy is not on his sister.

She probably know that it was her if she were listening but

she's like wait a minute I do the Rose Quartz thing I have a brother. I have been

fascinated with this I think rising trend, I don't know, astrology.

It was a big thing, I think, when I was growing up.
