How to explain superstition?

"Knowledge is limited" and quite limited. When people face a huge unknown space, they often put forward their own explanations. The ancients were in awe of Lei Xin, so they put forward their own explanation of "Raytheon, Heaven" and worshipped it. Later people called it superstition. Superstition means that people blindly believe or worship things. Superstition in a narrow sense, according to the established habits after liberation in China, refers to people's thoughts and behaviors of believing in astrology, divination, geomantic omen, fate and ghosts and gods. Superstition activities generally refer to folk activities such as gods, witches, fortune telling and geomantic omen, such as lottery, divination, fortune telling, geomantic omen, exorcism, and jumping. Superstition originally refers to people's blind belief or worship of things, such as books, money and so on. Nowadays, people generally believe that superstition is caused by having a special interest in something because they have no ability to distinguish and can't tell the essence of things, and they really believe it, and then believe it from themselves to their beliefs, even to the point of worship and no doubt. Superstitious people tend to be fascinated by something or phenomenon, and then indulge in it and believe in it. Superstitious people often indulge themselves at will, blindly attaching things and statements of "belief" and "worship" to positive and disdainful actions. It seems that "superstition" is a general term, just like the word "management", which includes enterprise management/administrative management/warehouse management/financial management/hospital management/school management and has many uses. And "superstition" will also include: religious superstition/force superstition/wealth superstition, etc. , and so on. Superstition is characterized by: ① lack of discrimination, unable to fully understand the nature of things; (2) No ability to distinguish, but even firmly believe and worship a certain phenomenon or statement; (3) blindly attaching the phenomenon and statement of so-called "belief" and "worship" to positive and disdainful actions. The word feudal superstition is a combination of feudalism and superstition. Feng's first explanation in Ci Hai is that "the emperor ordered the princes" and "construction" refers to creation, installation and erection. There is no separate entry of the word "feudalism" in Ci Hai. The word "feudalism" is abbreviated to "feudal system", "feudal thought", "feudalism" and "feudal society" in most cases, such as "anti-imperialism and feudalism", "anti-feudal superstition" and "this man is very feudal". However, using superstition for other activities is different from superstition itself. Now we are still giving our own explanation to the unknown space. Maybe these explanations are closer to the truth. Anyway, I think they are much more credible and reasonable than Thor. But when it comes to right or wrong, well, it's like a group of children watching a movie. They usually say "bad guy" to this person and "good guy" to that person. Our science is just an explanation of the unknown, and only God knows whether this explanation is right or wrong. Historically, such things have emerged one after another. Some people say that Heliocentrism. Some people are superstitious about Newtonian mechanics, while others are superstitious about materialism. Newtonian mechanics is an inaccurate but useful theory, materialism is metaphysics and superstition. Science is science because any science requires conclusions to be based on strict experimental proof, and "practice is the only criterion for testing truth". Therefore, we have reason to ask all workers engaged in scientific work to maintain a pragmatic and cautious attitude and strictly distinguish between theory and conclusion. On the contrary, blindly believing in science will become a new superstition! Supplement: Science is a summary of the law of material change under certain conditions. Today's science is no longer the early definition of "subject knowledge", but my definition is most in line with Darwin's scientific ideas. ) Science must be cognizable, communicative, verifiable and falsifiable. Science cannot be tested by practice. However, scientific laws and conditions are inseparable. If the conditions are not met, the results of scientific prediction may not be obtained. If there is a situation that does not conform to the scientific laws, it is likely that there is no limit to scientific summary, or the actual situation no longer conforms to the conditions of scientific laws. For example, Aristotle's theory that heavy objects fall first has been falsified, but we add a restriction: under the condition of the same resistance in opposite directions, two objects fall freely at the same height, and the heavier object falls to the horizontal ground first. Only in this way can we strictly limit some conditions and make our conclusion more confident. Therefore, science has never abandoned any theory that has been proved by experiments, but in the process of approaching the truth, it has added various restrictions to the original theory that were not considered before. Superstition means that you don't want the listener to verify it, but you just want the listener to accept the form of communication that expresses your views. Unconfirmed acceptance is also superstition. If readers can't verify it, it's not popular science, but it may make readers believe in a daze. This is a way to spread superstition. Superstition is not necessarily wrong, everyone is not all-rounder, and will trust the authority and experts of superstition to a greater or lesser extent without verifying them. So superstition is not terrible. But if you can't tell science from superstition, you may not know science from pseudoscience. There are several new superstitions that are most puzzling: old "scientists" give pupils "popular science". Because primary school students lack knowledge and can't verify it, they can only accept it as a conclusion and then criticize others accordingly. This is a superstition about "scientists". Tell others: "There is evidence everywhere on the Internet, you can find it by just searching", but you can't find any evidence yourself. This is a common method that you don't want others to verify. It is also a very confusing view that "scientists" know everything and think about everything. This idea is easy to form in the student days, because everyone's ability is not enough, and no "scientist" considers it comprehensively. If this view holds, it can also be inferred that heavy objects do not necessarily fall first, which can be understood by primary school students. Aristotle, a scientist and several scientific researchers before and after him, won't be confused for such a simple question for so long, so it must be wrong to suggest that heavy objects don't necessarily fall first. People who hold this view put themselves in the perspective of students, deify "scientists" and always stand at their feet. How can they see the problem of "scientists"? From the perspective of equality, we should think that we have understood what the "scientist" said, and then study whether the "scientist" has considered any problems, which leads to loopholes in discussion and reasoning. To see the shortcomings of the "scientist", we must stand on the shoulders of the "scientist" and fully understand his theory before we can find it. Standing at the feet of a "scientist" and believing what he says is a sign of superstition.
