Can you believe that fortune telling is accurate? Zhihu _ Can you believe that fortune telling is accurate?

Don't trust fortune telling. It's all a lie. Believe in science.

Fortune-telling is not credible, at least those who use birth time are not credible. Just look at two examples.

The first example is in Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Cottage, where Ji Xiaolan's nephew and the son of a slave were born at the same time. The original text says, "When they were born, they were separated by a wall, two windows were facing each other, and two children were crying". Therefore, they should be born at the same time, with the same arrangement of eight characters, and the information they see should be exactly the same. But one of them died young, one continued to live, one was rich and the other was poor. Their life trajectories hardly overlap. How do you explain this? From the point of view of numerology, six relatives, family background, longevity and fortune pattern should be seen from the eight characters. If you can't even see these, what's the use of the eight characters?

The second example is 1958 London 2000 newborns.

In August 2003, the British "Daily Telegraph" reported that Jeffrey, a Perth scientist and former astrologer in Australia? Psychologists Jeffrey Dean and Ivan from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada? A research achievement of Ivan Kelly.

From March 65438 to March 0958, they recruited more than 2000 newborn babies to participate in the study in London, England. Most of them were born within a few minutes, and only 4% of them were born more than 15 minutes apart. Scientists have listed more than 65,438+000 different characteristics, including occupation, anxiety, marital status, aggression, social skills, IQ, art, sports, mathematics, reading and other abilities. After that, the researchers regularly tested the development of the subjects for half a century. Unfortunately, however, these subjects born at the same time did not show any similarities. Take people born on March 4, 2008 1958+0 1: 05 as an example. There is no obvious difference between his similarity with twins born a few minutes later and his similarity with people born a day later. So don't say I know a fortune teller. Isn't the data of 2000 newborns bigger than your fortune teller? How many fortune tellers have seen 2000 identical constellations in their lives?

Although everything in the universe has its own connections, fortune tellers do not rely on these unknown scientific connections to tell fortune. No scientific experiment can completely prove the accuracy of fortune telling, and they can't find the theoretical basis of fortune telling. More importantly, no fortune teller can explain how he tells his fortune.

The reason why people think that the calculation is very accurate is that fortune tellers can see people's mood and situation from their faces, and most of what they say is ambiguous and impossible to verify. For example, someone said that you would have a catastrophe, but you could spend money to avoid it, but you believed him and gave him money. If you are not affected, you will think that he is accurate. If you are affected, you will think it is invalid. If you doubt him, reason with him. This is the result of your insincerity. Sincerity means that you don't doubt him. On no account can you say that he is inaccurate. A psychologist once did an experiment: write a personality evaluation to make it look suitable for everyone, such as "You want others to have a good impression on you", and then send the same evaluation to people all over the world at random. As a result, most people said that his evaluation was correct. ...
