What kind of experience is it that roommates are too superstitious?

I feel that roommates are nothing like modern young people, and their minds are full of superstitions, which is really unbearable. Superstition refers to people's stubborn trust in things, as well as confused beliefs and blind beliefs.

The meaning of "superstition" tends to be "blindly believing and not understanding". Therefore, in theory, human beings may have the concept of "superstition" about anything, and even in the field of science, there is "scientific superstition".

Just like my roommate, on the eve of the exam, he kept calculating for himself, saying how many points he could get in the exam, saying that he could infer the scope of the teacher's exam questions, and even if it was a small question, he said that he could predict it.

Of course, our roommates don't believe what he said. How does he know that he is not a worm in the teacher's body when the teacher gives a question?

Facts speak plainer than words. He is not sure what he says every time, but he is not convinced, so he will do the same thing next time. I really don't like such roommates at all. It's ridiculous that I don't study hard and hope to feel at ease by superstitious methods.

Superstition also has a saying, that is, to believe what you don't really know. For example, following family members or relatives and friends to believe in Buddhism, following students from Buddhist colleges to believe in Buddhism, and following monks who practice all their lives to believe in Buddhism are all superstitions compared with the former.

My roommate became so superstitious after being with his cousin, because one of his cousin's relatives believed in Buddhism. Once, because of an exam, they found the relative, and then the relative showed them the way, and they did it. As a result, they did well in the exam, so both of them became addicted to superstition.

But I think it's really bad for a person, especially young people, to be too superstitious. Young people should pay more attention to science. But science is different from superstition, belief or religion.

The essence of science is induction, which is the arrangement of real life facts. The scientific system itself has the ability of self-doubt, that is, the ability to doubt the existing scientific achievements, which superstitious religions do not have.

Superstition sometimes harms others as well as yourself. I really hope that superstitious roommates will read more popular science works and stop being superstitious.
