Should Scientists Date People Who Believe in Astrology?

Question, sure, but give them up entirely? I understand where you're coming from with regards to astrology, but I'd still say that's an unreasonable expectation to have of whether someone is smart. It makes me think of how much religious belief is baseless in general, and yet many accomplished writers and scientists still had it.

Also personally speaking I've met a few people in isolated cases who struck me as pretty quick, I'd hazard to say they came across as among the smartest people I've ever met, but they'd have an interest in religion or astrology and say things that just seem ludicrous to me. But I could talk to them about logical paradoxes or mathematical physics and they'd follow better than most. So I'd say the astrology would have less to do with how intelligent they were so much as how they were brought up and educated.
