Sorry, please don't read this chapter yet

Alice handed the booklet to Sun Suhe, "This is the secret scripture that Little Orange secretly stole from her mother and gave me. I've gone through it carefully, and it's really clever. ”

"So powerful? ”

Sun Suhe took the booklet, only to feel a little heavy to start, casually flipped through it, the paper was crisp, and the feel was excellent, not to mention anything else, just this raw material was a high-end product with a low cost.

Look at its binding design, it is a simple and solemn style, there is almost no superfluous decoration, but all kinds of details have been put into a lot of effort, done very delicate and elegant, even if you don't look at the content, just hold it in your hand there is a solemn taste.

The cult in Sun Suhe's impression always looked like it was in a hurry, waving a few pages of shoddy propaganda paper with its teeth and claws, desperately telling people to believe me, believe me, believe me. And this Kidarsan retreat, judging from this booklet alone, has a somewhat calm and atmospheric demeanor.

Turning the first page, Sun Suhe glanced casually, "This content, this choice of words and sentences, is this wearing the skin of Christianity?"

Alice nodded slightly, "That's right, the basic doctrine is based on the Christian one, supplemented by Buddhist meditation, Indian yoga posture guidance, and some cutting-edge scientific theories that seem to be incomprehensible, such as quantum mechanics, such as string theory." ”

"Quantum mechanics? haha. Sun Suhe couldn't help laughing, he knew that many people who pretended to be ghosts liked to talk about quantum mechanics, because it sounded very sophisticated and bluffing, and even if they said it wrong, they didn't have to worry about being discovered, because most people couldn't understand it at all.

Often, such people like to say that "the scientist worked hard for a long time and finally climbed to the top of the mountain, only to find that the philosopher was already waiting for him there". The term "philosopher" here is often replaced by terms such as god, god, and Buddha.

In fact, people who love to say such things often do not understand both philosophy and science.

"Don't laugh, look back. Alice said.

Sun Suhe directly flipped it from the back, picked a random page and looked at it, and suddenly sighed lightly.

Alice said: "Do you think it's the kind of type that doesn't understand even the simplest force analysis, and doesn't know where to read a few technical terms and just make up nonsense there? No, it's not that simple. ”

"You pay attention to his style of writing, which is clearly written by someone with professional academic training. Although I don't understand quantum mechanics, I can see that the argumentation process in the theoretical part is very rigorous, and whether the content is right or wrong, at least logically it is perfectly self-consistent. This can be very confusing for non-specialists. Even highly educated people, if they are not relevant professionals, may be more likely to be deceived by it. Alice highlighted a few of the words, and Sun Suhe took a closer look, and sure enough.

"Cults are also here to engage in science, and this is really, I really don't know what to say. I feel like I want to laugh but I can't. ”

Alice took a pen and paper and explained to Sun Suhe while writing and drawing: "Not only that, but the construction of his entire doctrinal theory can be said to be very clever. First of all, it is based on the teachings of an old traditional religion such as Christianity, which has great influence in the world, and directly discards the relatively controversial content in it, and only selects the teachings about goodness, love, peace, and so on, which are most in line with mainstream expectations and universal values. This can greatly dispel the vigilance of the proselytized, and even if you don't believe it, you won't be disgusted by it. ”

Then there is the retreat, which is named after the Kidarshan Retreat, and rightly so, this so-called "retreat" is another central part of its teachings. ”

Alice wrote the word "meditation" on a piece of paper, and then drew two branches: "meditation" and "posture". "Based on what I told me and what I saw in this booklet, I suspect that this so-called retreat is a fusion of some Buddhist meditation methods and Indian yoga posture guidance," she said. I suspect that some hallucinogenic drugs may also be used during the retreat. In contrast to the theory of the occult, such a retreat can provide direct and intuitive feedback on the body. Most ordinary people are anxious for quick success, and the attraction and persuasiveness of meditation are many times greater than those traditional religions that have been recited for several years and do not know whether it has any effect. ”

And then there's the key to endorsing its teachings with extremely specialized pseudoscience. Alice wrote the word "science" on a piece of paper and asked, "What do you think is the meaning of science?"

"Ask me?"

"Hmm. ”

Sun Suhe pondered carefully and said, "Science never considers the ultimate meaning. It seems that this was said by Nietzsche. Science doesn't provide meaning. Science describes phenomena and explains principles, such as Einstein's mass-energy equation E=mc2(1), we can use it to build atomic bombs, but it will not tell us anything about life, nor will it tell me what is the meaning of life. Science does not provide meaning, or it does not consider meaning at all, meaning should be a philosophical or religious category. ”

"You're right, that's the crux of the matter. Alice added the word "meaning" next to the word "science."

"In this era, the vast majority of people are born educated, science is truth, science is right, science has almost become a new religion. When the gods of traditional religions lost their majesty in the face of science, science became the new gods. However, science has the status of a god, but it cannot tell mankind the meaning of everything like God. This limitation is not the limitation of science, but the limitation of human beings, science can not need meaning, but human beings need meaning. ”

Alice couldn't help laughing as she spoke, "Science tells us that the full moon is the change of the position of the earth and the moon, and after we learn this knowledge, we will still be eager to get some enlightenment, some truth, and some meaning. Science doesn't provide that, and humanity needs it. Especially when we are confused in our hearts, we need someone to provide a meaning to guide our lives. ”

"This Kidarsan retreat uses religion to provide meaning to humanity, endorses doctrines with elaborate pseudo-science to steal the power of science, and then provides positive feedback with intuitive retreats that make the mystical teachings visible. When these are organically combined by clever means......"

Alice circled the noun written on the paper in a circle, and then clapped her hands, "Smack, a powerful brainwashing mode was born." ”

Sun Suhe looked at the piece of paper quietly for a while, and muttered, "But if it's just like this, then this Kida Mountain Retreat is not much evil. Of course, I disagree with the use of pseudoscience to deceive people. But even so, to be honest, by this standard, there are some serious religions that are more evil than that. ”
