I’ve just realised why star signs, and the new equivalent – personality types – are so popular and adored by well-meaning nice people.
They are a class system with no top or bottom.
Next!
Seriously, that’s the whole idea. Some wanker will write an entire book on it, with chapters about how horoscopes began, how they aren’t scientifically valid, the history of personality types, how some of us are psychopaths, and a page on how they are circular ranking systems used by nice people.
I can do that (although I’ll need a ghost writer to make it elegant).
I won’t.
Note: although there are perhaps numerous ways of describing it, there are only 600 or so results on Google for “circular ranking”, so this at least feels novel.
