Why are fortune tellers less and less common in today's society?

We often see street fortune tellers in many costume TV dramas or movies. Most of them wear sunglasses, with a small table in front of them and a flag beside them. However, fortune tellers are rarely seen in this society. In fact, the reason is that most people have received a certain degree of education, and they believe in science more and more, and they believe that they can change their destiny by their own struggle, instead of believing that such illusory things will determine their future, so fortune tellers are no longer common.

First, the basic basis of fortune telling The evolution of folk fortune tellers to the present is actually a derogatory term, and most of them have become a symbol of cheating money. In fact, historically, fortune-telling is actually an academic, called Yi-ology. Judging a person's fate by gossip, Yijing, Yin and Yang and five elements, combining people's faces and palms, and combining tricks. This is something similar to faith, and it doesn't need others to believe it. The original intention was not to cheat money. In fact, the fortune teller in front of the temple on that street doesn't necessarily understand Zhouyi and gossip, but only relies on some cliches to deceive people. People who really understand these things are based on the study of Zhouyi, and only after they have gained something can they express something according to these academic contents.

Second, abandon superstition. For fortune telling, everyone should keep their own reason. You can ask someone to read your palm and face, and guess what good or bad you will encounter in the future, but you can't believe it completely, so you are superstitious. This superstition is likely to be used by people with plans to get their money cheated and even encounter some other dangers. In addition, this superstition has greatly affected the development of the whole society. Everyone is superstitious about fortune telling instead of accepting theoretical scientific knowledge, so there is no way to improve their ability and create their own future, and the development of the whole society will stagnate and the harm will be considerable.

In short, whether out of curiosity or skepticism, you can ask someone to help you calculate your fortune, but you must not be superstitious and rely entirely on the fortune teller's prediction of your future. This kind of prediction without any scientific basis is actually not conducive to your personal development.
