Fortune tellers and Fung Shui masters

Fortune tellers and Fung Shui masters tell us that their trade is based on thousands of years of statistics, but they never share the statistics with us. I suspect that much of it is self fulfilling prophecy. And while their statistics (if any) is a thousand years old, they never update it according to the latest demographics and facts (with control experiment too). In short, their statistics, if any, is outdated.

One story goes: 200 people die in a plane crash, ending up in the same destiny. Will fortune tellers dig out their history and birth details etc and arrive at the same conclusion, before or after the incident?

Chinese medicine

Compared to Western medicine, Chinese medicine is definitely a cheaper option for an aging population in Hong Kong. Conspiracy theory? I sometimes wonder how Chinese medicine can prove its efficacy in prolonging one's life. I even suspect that people who rely too much on Chinese medicine are taking in a lot of "poison". Likewise, Western medicine. Perhaps having better nutrients and regular sleep and exercise is the best option after all.

论政团体

政党若不跟从民意。最后只会沦为论政团体。
