The next theme is about fortune-tellers and believers in them.
To begin with, no one knows the future. No way you can find out what
will happen tomorrow. Only if it’s not a weather forecast, for example, where
with the help of an approaching cyclone you can assess the likelihood of rain.
But this is not an accurate prediction of fate, which fortune tellers promise
you to do, but only a forecast.
Not only science or, for example, atheism, but also such
widespread religions as Islam, Christianity and Judaism are negatively related
to various kinds of predictions and fortunetelling. Therefore, it’s ridiculous
to see fortune-tellers using “Muslim” paraphernalia and reading the Quran over
tarot cards.
Predictors are usually visited by those who believe in it and are simply naive people. Therefore, it is not surprising that they find confirmation in everything. Especially in general terms, with a vague meaning, without details. “Something bad will happen soon in your family.” What is the likelihood that something bad can happen in any family on any day: illness, accident, pipe break, etc.?
One famous scientist conducted an experiment. He took a coin in his hand and asked half of the hall to make a guess and try to suggest that the eagle would drop, and the others so that the tails fell out. The eagle has fallen. So they continued until there was only one person who eight times guessed which side of the coin would fall out. Does this mean that he has superpowers?
So, by means of natural selection among a huge number of those who are addressing, her true fortune tellers remain with the fortuneteller. Which further will try to ignore her mistakes and each minor coincidence will elevate to the rank of a great prophecy.
I agree with you, in my perspective, it is nonsense and bullshit that it is possible to predict the future. Of course, it could be possible by analyzing the facts and postion predict the future of the company, but I do not think that marriage could be predicted day by day by analyzing the cards or boiler
ОтветитьУдалитьFor me, as not a supporter of this kind of things, it was interesting to read such a post. In particular, the experiment described above was very amused. Indeed, such people can even say obvious things, exposing this as the ability to see life or fate. But every one is ready to believe in what he or she wants to believe. This fact will have to be reconciled.
ОтветитьУдалитьBelief in prediction in my opinion is a fear of the present and the future. They are afraid of what will happen to them and try to hear the good things that will happen to them. This is used by most fortunetellers who mainly talk about the good things that customers want to hear.
