Look at American history. We always rebound from crisis, natural or man made, better than ever. Wars, depressions, civil strife. Sometimes we learn right away, sometimes it takes a couple of times to get it right. But we rebound.
From The Atlantic: When the unseen tug of celestial bodies points Earth toward a new North Star, for instance, the shift in sunlight can dry up the Sahara, or fill it with hippopotamuses. Arlo’s conclusion doesn’t hold water!
Daily life IS governed by the nearest star in the sky, at least for most of us, and in many ways. Sleep when it’s gone, work and play under it’s watchful eye.

One star does have an impact on our daily life. It’s called Sol.
And don’t forget the Moon. I’ll let that thought tide you over til tomorrow. ;-)

The science has recently shown that the planet Jupiter also had more than a little influence, along with the sun and moon.

Chronological snobbery is a thing. The joke here is that we’re as bad as the people we look down on.

We still call it “influenza” because it was thought to be under the influence of the stars and planets.
