Issue41: Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science.

It is true that the nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits can satisfy certain basic human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science. However, such nonmainstream areas of inquiry do not play a vital role in society.

There is no denying that the nonmainstream areas of inquiry, such as astrology, can satisfy human needs to the extent. In the ancient times, the limited technology cannot help the ancestors explain so many natural phenomenon, so every time when there was thunder, the people could not do anything else but be greatly frighten. With times gone, people imagined there were a sun grandfather and a thunder grandma, and they only chastise the bad men. As a result, people were no longer afraid of the thunder and tried to be honest person. This example aptly illustrates that the nonmainstream help me calm down especially when they face the challenge that can not be addressed by mainstream science. Even in the modern times, such nonmainstream areas of inquiry still satisfy human needs in many aspects. For example, when somebody makes a mistake, he/she will be seriously remorseful, until he/she goes to the church for comfort and peace. Another example is that there is a conventional "QiQiao" festival in China. In that day, the young girl will sit beside the tree, listening to the "NiuLang" star who is the man and "Zhinv" star who is his wife chatting. Then the young girl will have good fortune and find a nice husband. How beautiful the story is and how beautiful the young girl's dream is. The nonmainstream can give people hope and encourage them to find the happiness. In this sense, the nonmainstream indeed satisfy human needs.

However, the nonmainstream will never play a vital role in society because of its limited capability. First, nonmainstream cannot improve the productivity that plays a vital role in people's daily life, while the mainstream science always do. For example, the mainstream science helps the advent of light bulb, engine, as well as advanced vehicles hat greatly accelerate the pace of human civilization. Without such tools, people will be in the struggle with bear for food. Nevertheless, the nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling will just stand aside. Second, mainstream will make the society more democratic, while the abuse of nonmainstream will go contrarily. In the ancient times, when the dictators were going to invade the other countries, they always invited some mysterious men to foretell that they will win and gave the invasion good reasons. Furthermore, overestimate the psychological benefit of nonmainstream will inflict on both participates and society. The people who face challenge do not think and react by themselves but ask help from the nebulous authority by relying on the stars will ultimately fail. The other people who always hope to live happily afterlife will be great waste of life. Those people will definitely do harm to the society, since the society’s improvement need diligent people.

In conclusion, nonmainstream satisfied human needs in many aspects, and it will always be helpful to the extent. Without nonmainstream people will miss the road in the universe. However, it is the mainstream science not the nonmainstream play a vital role in society. Without nonmainstream people will never get away from the ignorance.
