It's just the natural cycle of words. A natural evolution.

It was Brian’s Problem that interested me: are words like fantastic and fabulous worn down past redemption?

There's a better word for something like that. I'm trying to think of one. Not that you would use it instead of fantastic, but anyways. Extravagant. Although that's almost as bad. Unreal. Outlandish. Phantasmagoric.

The pain of it all is, of course, that I was going to argue against astronomy being fantastic (though it may be fascinating), and then present astrology as the fantastic one. But because I jumped into it too quickly, I made a fool of myself. But you seem to get the picture, anyway. The rule is: be careful with the word fantastic.

Oh, you meant fantastic like that. Well...I don't know what's going on now.

Astrology is really the one which is closer to fantasy (therefore being fantastic). I was going to spring that up, but I got confused.

Oh yeah, my mistake. I meant astronomy. :chuckle:

Not when it's astrology.

Well, I don’t know. Isn’t it a science being fantastic almost paradoxical?

No...was it supposed to be obvious that he was or something?
