Chapter 1098: Ignorance and Science

Lin Yuan was very calm, and he generously admitted Blake's statement. net

"Experts, and friends here, I think it is very likely that Mr. Black said that Chinese medicine was born out of primitive witchcraft. It's nothing to fuss about. And, Mr. Black, isn't it a paradoxical truth that Coyan was born out of ignorance?"

Blake can't argue with that, and that's what it is.

Lin Yuan continued: "Let's talk about Western medicine, is it a long time ago to embark on the track of science? The founding president of the United States, because of his illness, adopted the bloodletting therapy, which was relatively popular at that time, which led to the death of the founding father of the United States. At that time, people didn't think it was anything. And from the current point of view, it is murder. Isn't it true that Western medicine has developed little by little from this kind of ignorance? And this time was only more than 300 years ago. ”

Blake couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up again and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, please don't mislead. What Western medicine has experienced in the past is very ignorant and even very dark. However, the subsequent exhibition embarked on the track of scientific exhibition. Now that Western medicine has reached the vast majority of the world's workers, including Huaxia, can you deny this?"

"Mr. Black, I am not misleading, Western medicine can go from ignorance to science, then how can you assume that Chinese medicine cannot? This is the narrow-mindedness of your knowledge caused by the inherent prejudice of you Westerners, you have never been in line with your views, that is, heresy, and this has never changed since the Holy See in the Middle Ages. ”

The Holy See in the Middle Ages was an incomparably dark scene in human history. At that time, many of humanity's best scientists were persecuted to varying degrees.

Flogging, imprisonment, exile, and even burning at the stake were the most unbearable pains of science of that era.

At that time, everything that did not conform to the doctrine was heresy, and the treatment of those who wrote books was simply repromising.

This is an eternal scar in the heart of Western science, and it is also a blood sacrifice for the world from ignorance to civilization. Lin Yuan mentioned this, which made the expression on Blake's face change.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, I admit that it was a dark time, and what can replace the darkness will be light. Our Western academic circles have entered an academic system based on observation and experiments, which can reveal the basic laws of the world's origin exhibition. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, is stagnant and still diagnoses with mental sensations and theories with illusory theories, which is different in nature. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Black, a few decades ago, the definitive conclusion of Western medicine on the brain was that the thinking organ completes all the sensory functions of the human body through the neuronal cells of the cerebral cortex. Excuse me, is this conclusion correct?"

Blake immediately replied: "This conclusion is problematic, and with the deepening of experimental methods, the consensus formed by scientists is that thinking, or human thinking, is not done by neuronal cells alone, but is a complex biophysical and biochemical process." But science is sometimes built on mistakes. The wrong conclusions are not because science is no longer good, but because we need to be more progressive. ”

"Good, good," Lin Yuan kept saying yes, and applauded Blake.

"With that said, let's return to TCM. Mr. Black, there has been a significant development in the United States in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, especially in the field of acupuncture. The meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the pain-relieving effect of acupuncture, have been certified by American experts. So, Mr. Black, are you going to ignore this scientific reality?"

"Mr. Lin Yuan, I have read these reports and also admit that Chinese medicine has a certain degree of effect. However, this does not prevent Wikipedia from making some assertions about acupuncture. It is true that acupuncture sometimes has a certain analgesic effect, but most of the time, it is more often psychologically suggestive. ”

"I would like to ask Mr. Black, have you experimented with this? Do you have specific data? Also, have you been treated with acupuncture? If so, please take it out, and if not, why are you able to come to such a conclusion?"

Blake was stunned for a moment, what Lin Yuan asked was exactly what he didn't do.

After a while, Blake said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, I don't like to experience Chinese medicine, so I haven't experienced acupuncture treatment. I haven't done any experimental observations, but can't the things listed on Wikipedia be used as evidence? It's like Galileo throwing two balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and will future scientists have to repeat this gravity experiment?"

"Mr. Black, I don't want to turn the one-factory debate into a sophistry, Galileo's gravity addition test is already a theorem, and even if people do similar experiments, it is to test specific data. I would like to ask, on what Mr. Black thinks is as indisputable as what is written on Wikipedia is like Galileo's experiment?"

"Because, because there is a problem with the theoretical system of Chinese medicine, may I ask, what is the qi in Chinese medicine, in what state, and what is its specific material composition? ”

"Mr. Black, if Planck's quantum theory is pseudoscience, as you say, who can take out the quantum and see it? Who can analyze its specific components? Quantum means a copy, which exists in an energy state, and if you take it out and let me see it, can you say that quantum mechanics is wrong?"

"Lin Yuan, I am now that you are a sophist. Mr. Planck's quantum mechanics was developed step by step according to the scientific foundations of his predecessors. The science in the early stage was based on objective facts and theories. It can also explain a lot of physical phenomena, and to say that it is science, that is verified. ”

"Very good, Mr. Black, then let me ask you, the efficacy of Chinese medicine has also been verified by thousands of years in China, in the long history, Chinese medicine is the protector of the Chinese nation in the face of diseases, I don't understand, a scientific category that has been verified for thousands of years, how can it not be science in your place?

"Mr. Lin Yuan, Chinese medicine has a certain effect, and Wikipedia also specifically mentions this. That is, because it has a little effect, Chinese medicine will be praised too highly. A lot of pseudoscience, just under the cloak of science, has a little effect, so that people will mistake it for science, and pseudoscience is actually more dangerous to people than theology!"

Lin Yuan glanced at Blake and asked with a hint of teasing, "Mr. Blake, may I ask what you mean by having a little effect?"

Blake suddenly came to his senses: "Chinese medicine cannot make an effective diagnosis and cannot treat major diseases. ”

"Mr. Blake, the diagnosis of Chinese medicine is the most reflective of the actual situation of the patient, and in terms of preventive treatment, the diagnostic effect of Chinese medicine is far stronger than that of Western medicine. Western medical examinations are generally similar to post-mortem examinations, while Chinese medicine can accurately draw conclusions before you die. ”

Blake was about to retort when he heard Luthor say, "Blake, I'll say a few words." Mr. Lin Yuan, you are talking very lively, and I have also seen similar reports, saying that Chinese medicine can tell at a glance whether a person is sick or not. There are many myths in Chinese medicine, saying that a doctor saw a king and said that he was sick, but the king did not listen to him and died. Hehe, Chinese medicine is just like an X-ray machine, which can see the inner harmony of people, and Chinese people can blow the same imaginary thing into the sky. ”

Lin Yuan was full of disgust for this Luther, the feeling of being superior to the broken aristocracy was really unbearable.

"Mr. Luther, whether you are arrogant or prejudiced, don't talk about the Chinese people at every turn. How can the Huaxia people offend you? I really don't know where your sense of superiority comes from? If you feel that Huaxia is not good, you can not come, you don't have the ability to make a place feel flourishing. ”

"Mr. Lin Yuan, my sense of superiority is based on my absolute correctness. Well, you're not convinced, are you? Can you tell at a glance who is sick? If you can, I'll admit that I'm arrogant and extreme. If you can't, please don't be unconvinced, this world is a world of reasoning, what is reason? Science, the science that you Chinese people stay away from!"

Lin Yuan felt a fire surging into his heart, he looked at Luthor coldly, snorted and said, "Mr. Luthor, if you want to see the stunts of Chinese medicine, that's no problem. I'll show you, what do you think?"

Luthor spread his hands, made a typical European movement, and said with an exaggerated smile: "Lin Yuan, can you show me Bo?" Haha, I want to see what kind of illness I can have in this body. You're not going to give me a needle, are you? Don't think about it, I don't want to die at the hands of Chinese medicine. ”

Lin Yuan said lightly: "Those who insult others will always humiliate themselves, Mr. Luther, don't you want to see the Chinese medicine qi stunt that knows the disease at a glance? Okay, I will fulfill you, but you can think about it, my results may be very unexpected, can you afford it?"

Luther's face changed and said, "Lin Yuan, don't say those useless words, and don't try to scare me with alarmist words." Tell you, I've undergone a medical examination, my health is very low, and it's a big joke that you can check out the park. ”
