Anonymous users2024-02-12Fascination should have two meanings, one is obsession and obsession; The second is to be confused and unbelievable, so naturally it is to believe it, therefore, superstition, taken together, is either "blind obsession, blind belief", or "believing because of confusion" There is a very famous experiment in psychology about the formation of superstition. In a box, a plate with food was placed. Put a pigeon in the box.
Every 15 seconds, a grain of food is automatically dispensed to the plate at regular intervals. That is, no matter what the pigeon is doing, give it a reward every 15 seconds. Two independent observers recorded changes in the behavior of the pigeons.
Eight pigeons were used in the trial. It was observed that 6 of the pigeons developed very pronounced conditioned reflexes over a period of several days. A pigeon spins around the box, 2-3 times before each food appears; The other repeatedly banged its head into one corner of the box; The third only one reacts, as if to lift it up with its head under an unseen object; The other two form an active reaction similar to a pendulum; The last one repeatedly hits the plate with its head without touching it.
In other words, the pigeons believe that it is their own cyclic movements that bring them food. In other words, the pigeons have become superstitious. They all believe in this connection between food and action that doesn't actually exist.
This belief is formed because of the confusion they have about the food **. It's as if they don't want to believe pie-in-the-sky stories and the like, preferring to be rewarded for what they have done. So, let's take a look at the explanation of superstition that we gave above.
Obviously, the second explanation, "believing because of delusion", seems more in line with the real situation. Looking back, look at the things called superstition in our real life, such as astrology, fortune telling, religion, etc., the reason why people believe is actually because there is confusion in the first place, some things that they have experienced, relatives and friends have experienced, have the power to believe, but it seems that it is not always very accurate, and there is no answer in science, so people will "believe because of confusion". Such a thing exists in many ways.
In fact, including the I Ching and Chinese medicine, there are such ingredients in it. The exact probability of an event that can confuse people into believing should be greater than the probability that something will happen randomly, but it does not reach the point of finding a definite pattern. In the latter, we can call it "science".
Thus, the fact that people "believe because they are deluded" actually shows that there are reasonable facts in it, but the full laws have not yet been discovered. It's not that people are blindly obsessed with and believed. Therefore, what science needs to do is to go deep into the facts that make people "believe because of confusion", excavate, refine, discover, condense, and form something that is truly regular, and scientifically define and explain it.

If you want to test whether each common sense is correct or not, a lot of human learning and exploration is repetitive, as far as natural science is concerned, the recognized laws are common sense that people must master, at present, from kindergarten to undergraduates, are learning to master some of the relevant laws and knowledge discovered or invented by predecessors. And some experiments are done to understand and master, not to verify whether it is right or wrong. For example, the theory of electromagnetism, the periodic law of elements, is only common knowledge for the learned person. >>>More
Confucianism, Mo, Taoism, Law, Buddhism, three religions and nine streams. As long as you are good at a family, you can predict the prophet. Why bother to know the good and bad in front of "Zhou Yi", and expect the good and the bad? >>>More
A lot of things are just trying to have peace of mind.
In fact, there are some things that cannot be understood by superstition! China has had the habit of burning incense from ancient times to the present, and some people may not be truly superstitious. More precisely, it is tradition or the yearning for a better life. >>>More
There are a lot of scientific explanations.,But what I want to say is that this is indeed true.,The point is not why the chopsticks can stand up.,But the timing when the chopsticks stand up.,As long as you call the right name of the ghost.,The chopsticks stand up with a brush.,Note,It's a brush,,, it's not at all the same as those scientific experiments on TV.。
