Fortune-telling pseudoscience _ Investigation Report on Fortune-telling pseudoscience

This is pseudoscience fortune telling. The development and prosperity of fortune-telling in China has a profound social foundation, which is the universal recognition of fate by all living beings and the belief that there is an invisible force that manipulates a person's life's destiny. "Destiny" includes two meanings; One is life, that is, life or life, and the other is luck, that is, luck. Therefore, fate refers to the pattern of life and death, wealth and poverty, as well as the ending characteristics and trends of all encounters, such as good fortune and bad fortune, wealth and decline, poverty and advancement and retreat, honor and disgrace and sorrow. Is China's fortune-telling really that clever? In my opinion, traditional culture can't leave us the essence and dross of simple classification. It's usually a combination of the two. If China's fortune-telling is nonsense, it won't last long among the people, as the martial arts master Nan said: "If China's fortune-telling is a lie, then it has deceived the people of China for more than 3,000 years. There are still such ingenious tricks in the world, which are also worth studying. " If China's fortune-telling is a "science" and futurology, then there are many idealistic elements in this "science", just as today's science cannot make a reasonable explanation for Qigong, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. There are laws or inevitability in fate and fortune telling that we can't grasp at present, but is there a "reasonable core" that we can know and summarize today? The answer is yes. Some people think that success or failure depends entirely on fate, so individuals can wait for Gifford for nothing. I advise you: No matter how good the fertile land is, you should work hard, otherwise it will be overgrown with weeds. In the past, we could openly blame "superstition" on people's ignorance and on the ignorance and deception of rulers. However, in the face of more and more facts, this statement seems to be self-defeating. At a deeper level, human beings live in a specific natural and social environment. Every generation and everyone lives in a specific natural and social environment. They must have moments when they can't control their own destiny, and they also have their own knowledge and reason to make correct judgments. Every time, individual free will is often useless. When human wisdom is insufficient or useless, people will lose the so-called rational standard when they act, so they can only use some accidental things as a guide, and all kinds of exquisite or simple divination will become the best decision-making tools. Therefore, if the existence of divination is regarded as a cultural and sociological phenomenon, its main function or profound significance does not lie in the accuracy of divination results. When you are at a loss, when you think hard and hesitate, you will occasionally rely on the power of divination to enhance your confidence, and you will be encouraged to form a judgment and decision on a difficult event. We will not consider whether this decision is correct for the time being. The key is to change the state of indecision and get rid of the anxiety and pain of making up your mind. Therefore, for practical problems, as long as human knowledge, rationality and wisdom still exist, we can see that divination is serious and serious from ancient times to the present. In the actual divination activities, human beings do not completely regard divination as the revelation of the gods to their hearts. Just think, if those fortune tellers have been blindly superstitious about ghosts and gods for thousands of years, they are all groundless nonsense, then why do they have so many fanatical believers? In fact, many outstanding fortune tellers often have quite good expectations for things. As for fortune telling, I'd rather believe it or not, because I've seen some things that science can't explain, but they have been solved by the fortune teller's explanation. Whether it is coincidence or fact, I can only say: the world is full of wonders! I'd rather believe it or not. First of all, fortune telling has its "reasonable core". As long as you can calculate a complicated thing accurately, it means that "fortune telling" makes sense. For example, in the final of 1994 World Cup, I told the fortune of Brazil and Italy, and the conclusion was: 1. The game is not good. Under normal circumstances, this is zero to zero. In overtime, the score was zero to zero. Brazil beat Italy 3-2 (actually 4-3). Such a complicated conclusion is impossible. Calculated by the method of Zhouyi, it shows that Zhouyi has its "reasonable core"
