(Comfort and happiness) Following of the trend of Feng Shui. Confusing of similar theories.
(Feng Shui, palmistry, astrology and augury) Scientific theory about Feng Shui.
(Selection of places to built houses and tombs)
Reason of believing in Feng Shui
Psychological Explanation
Chinese heritage (Cultural norm) Following what the past generation says Witnessing the success of Fung Shui Influenced by fung shui master- Mass
publications
Reason of believing in Feng Shui
Not confident of themselves Anxiety about the future An escape from reality or personal
problems
Experiment
Experiment
200 people (100 men and women) Divided into 2 groups(50 men and women
each group) 25 years old One group assigned to a place which is
“good for health”, another one assigned to a bad one
Experiment
Do same exercises at the same time. Rest and have meals at the same time. Duration: One year
Compare their health conditione.g. times of having illness or accidence
Fallacy
The first fallacy
External environment affects human. Feng Shui masters : a part of the
environment judge a room by the direction of its
window>>>luckNot including tiny thingsTV set, sunny or rainy, sun rise and sun set
The first fallacy
Often change places of the ornaments and decorates.
This is a kind of change in environment
The second fallacy
When we cannot prove if an incident is right or wrong.
Take it objectively
But feng shui masters treat it as a correct and proved theory.
Incorrect
The second fallacy
All universally approved as correct theory are supported by other theories.
Proved by logical thinking and experiment.
However, feng shui theory is based on “Chi energy”.
Abstract and cannot be proved
The second fallacy
Estimate feng shui by their knowledge or experiment.
Limitations in human knowledge and experience.
So feng shui is again one-sided. Not absolutely correct theory.
Abuse of creativity
Feng Shui: Abuse of creativity?
The following three examples show feng shui is an abuse of creativity.
1. A bowl of goldfish in our office or home.
2. The location of our ancestors’ grave.
3. A curved highway near a building.
Curved highway near a building
Improvement
Modify in a more scientific way
Using field detector to prove the presence of “chi energy”
Electromagnetic effect
Enlarge the sample space
Do more experiments involving more people
Increase random samples Increase population Credibility increased
