------正文------
The speaker claims that non-mainstream areas of inquiry are vital in society and crucial for human needs which can not be addressed by mainstream science. However, in my view, although non-mainstream areas of inquiry may own a few merits to society, their potential harms that bring to human are far outweigh their benefits as discussed below.
From the beginning, astrology, fortune-telling, psychic and paranormal pursuits, or whatever kind of superstition, actually draw people into a situation of depress and inactive rather than cure their psychological pains. Those supervisions would inevitably lead people to concede fatalism and encumber them fighting for their better lives. In fortune-telling, for example, tellers often instruct people that their fates are born determined and thereby it is no use to work hard for their objects. This view actually damage the motivation of human and finally cause a chaos in the society if the governments do not strictly restrict such behavior, since many people holding passive minds to their lives would definitely baffle the development of the society. Moreover, some may utilize such tools to cheat people for profit and they actually do not concern the harm their false instruction bring to ordinary people. Therefore, those non-mainstream areas of inquiry, in fact, damage the well-being of our society.
Furthermore, conviction to those superstitions would cause an impact to the common wisdom of ethics. Consider, for instance, trying one's best to save lives is a merit manner in our society, and by holding such belief, the public can realize the value of life. However, that fatalism, on the contrary, depresses people in plight, since it tells people their fates are destined. If this opinion is prevalent, many people who can save their lives by themselves would run into the opposite direction. In that case, the passengers and crews on Titanic might lose hope for survive and no survivor could come back from that disaster; patients suffering from cancers will refuse for further remedy. Hence, superstition also damage to the healthful minds of the public.
Admittedly, those areas themselves do not absolutely contradict the human's civilization and have no value to our society. As an inevitable outcome during when human beings explore the nature, superstition played an important role when human lacked substantial knowledge to cognize many phenomena in the world. Furthermore, they also have some scientific and artistic values. In anthropology, archeology, and arts, superstition help scientists acknowledge the culture of a tribe or nation, inspire creative ideas of artists. In that case, those non-mainstream areas also have their own merits.
Although non-mainstream areas of inquiry contribute a little to scientific researches and artistic creation, people should not omit their great passive or even harmful views they bring to the society. |
