RE: Chinese Pseudoscience: Is there any proof of Qi Energy?

in #steemstem6 years ago
chock full of bizarre spiritual gibberish written in a way that makes it hard for people to question and boring enough to prevent people from trying.
This is so accurate ! It's way better to spend research time on actual treatements than to spend it checking for bizarre claims. Personally i think when people lose hope to be cured with modern medicine, they turn to alternatives . Rumors+lies+manipulations+false hopes+poor education = believing in anything. It's very good to enlighten people from time to time, Impressive article :)
Sort:  

Many indeed feel if they have nothing else to lose, why not try ALL options. This, I suppose, is fair enough - it's the ones that try alternative medicine first and then end up dead because it was then too late for real treatment, they are the issue.

That being said, if fake doctors stopped wasting billions on false hopes and put it towards real science, those 'nothing else to lose' patients might stand a better chance by now... sigh.

Thanks for stopping by =)

Yes! The wonders of chemotherapy, xanax, and proloft is really something to be proud of!

Treating the symptoms, and not understanding the underlying cause of disease, is a fantastic development in modern medicine!

Ah, materialist reductionist science. How Westerners should be proud of all their cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, anxiety, and depression in the wake of modern medicine!

It really is awe inspiring.

Chi, qi, prana, whatever you want to call it, is electromagnetic energy, and it is very real. Scientific tests have been done on the likes of Mantak Chia and sceptics tried to 'debunk' John Chang (see below) to no avail.

Instead of limiting yourself to a reductionist materialist worldview, you should actually try practising some of the meditation techniques involved in Taoism. Maybe when you've actually directly experienced something as profound as a kundalini awakening, and felt this electrical energy moving throughout your own body, you'll see just how closed and narrow-minded you were in your 'scientific' research.

This is a pretty poor argument. You're saying the burden of proof isn't on you, but me, to explain how magic is real. Generally speaking, people who post YouTube videos as evidence are crackpot conspiracy nuts. Not to offend but I just mean I can't use this as some legitimacy while you quote 'scientific research' with nothing to back up yourr claims other than 'I said so and you should actually try it yourself'.

I'm sure you feel many things but people see UFO's dozens of times a day around the world too. Mostly in the USA, oddly.

Anyway come back with an actual argument perhaps
