41. "Such non-mainstream 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." 研究界的一些非主流领域,比如星象学、占卜术和意念及超自然探索,在社会中起到了很重要的作用,因为它们满足了人们无法从主流科学获得的需求。
少数和多数之非主流学科
Metaphysics exist since ancient people use totem to pray for good fortune or preventing cataclysm. Accompany with the appearance of science, metaphysics lose its charm gradually but will continue to play an important role in our daily life.
First, Non-mainstream areas of inquiry are a byproduct of human's ignorance. In the ancient, people didn't understand many natural phenomena. For example they didn't know erupt of volcano, iridescent rainbow, earthquake, tsunami, etc. they thought that must be the signal of God's or ghost's emotion, they misunderstand that some disaster happened because God penalize human being. Although it's hard to say weather there is God or not, it is convince that many nature cataclysm such as earthquake, volcano are the result of earth's internal movement. But people didn't have any knowledge about the inner world of the earth, so the pay to the metaphysics which often claim that they can predict the future. For me they are just bullshit, they utilize people's eager heart of knowing the future to make such deduction. Some times they make a predict closer to the reality, But most time because they claim in an ambiguous way, so it's possible they would be correct all the time since they can explain in two-faced way.
这一段用大段篇幅来描述非主流领域的产生,说明其不科学、不正确性,是为了反驳题目提出的重要性吗?如果是,最好明确说清楚其联系,否则有跑题之嫌
For example, there was a story in QING dynasty in China that three scholars turn to the fortune-teller for help; they want the predictor to predict what the result of imperial examination will be. The predictor show one finger to them without saying any thing, the scholars think one of them will became Number One Scholar, after the result publicize, all of them fail in the exam, they felt the predictor cheat them, so they come back to the fortune-tell store, demur the predictor severely, the predictor said that he had point out they none of them will pass the exam since he showed them that finger. The scholars nod to each other and concede that the predictor was correct. This story told us that metaphysics don't provide essential answer for people; they just use people's ignorance.
具体举例来说明其虚假性,仍没有联系到其重要或不重要
Moreover, Non-mainstream areas help people to appease their anxiety about the unknown world. People always want to know about their future. It's human being's nature to fear the things they don't know, we don't know what will be after we died, so death scare most of us, then we turn to non-mainstream areas of inquiry for help, trying to exposure the mysterious things that scientist could not provide explain. Actually, we won't turn to non-mainstream in the fields that we know, we now know that rainbow and tsunami are nature phenomenon, so although we still feel mysterious about it we ant turn to astrology or fortune-teller for help. Some people may continue to inquire the non-mainstream area because they doubt about the reality of the scientist and because they fear about such nature events which show a powerful strength that can destroy any thing in the world.
转而说这些领域的作用,即解释未知事物或提供不相信科学的人来用
From what I have explain above, we can see that there are still many phenomenon that scientist could not provide convictive explanation; metaphysics will continue to play an important role in society. We should not be superstitious; Scientist will give us the answer about the mysterious phenomenon sooner or later. People should not depend on metaphysics; we should analyze the queer things in a scientific perspective.
感觉楼主对题目的 play a vital role in society并没有作正面回应,而是纠缠于非主流领域的虚假性上,希望再考虑一下 |
