i always thought feng shui is based on the recommended place to build your house in ancient times

i.e, it must be at a place of good air circulation, feng (wind) as you dont have fan or air con then (and it can get hot in summer). it must also be at a place of easily available water from spring, river, lake, or well (shui) as they dont have modern piping, tanks, and pumps.

everything else is bs.

For eg. House in front of T-junction has no good Feng Shui.
As probability of a car accidental hit into the house is high based on the mentioned location.
So in this issue, it makes a lot of sense.

Yup.
No 44 is myth and hold not much ground. It is more about people 'feel good' factor or placebo effect. Feng Shui can have placebo effect on people as well.

But house at or infront of T-junction definitely has high probability being run into by a car. For eg. a car goes straight that break malfunction, then the probability the car will run into the house in front of T-junction is higher than the road side one.
But there is no guarantee the roadside house won't be run into by car, just the house infront of T-junction, or when car cornering time, the chance of accident is higher than ordinary straight road.
There is no guarantee the house in front of T-junction will run into by car as well. Just may be the probability is higher than the rest.

again, some fact to base your findings on. what you think is logical is not necessary true. some observation is required showing T-houses have higher accident date than non T-houses. while i dont doubt your logic, its just that
1. the care need to experience brake and/or steering failure;
2. this failure need to occur on a straight road leading to the house atthe junction
3. the driver cant control care properly to stop/evade

given that in most housing area, only residents will be traveling on the road, the speed is relatively slow, modern cars generally experience very few sudden mechanical faulure, etc etc.

it is likely that the accident rate of T houses are only a fraction of a percentage higher than non T-houses for most (a negligible value)

Yes, I shared you view on this, but undeniable, in term of statistically, the rate of accident occur with T-house or house at corner is definitely higher than ordinary one, it could be fractionanl or negligible, but surely it is higher.

At cornering time, the rate is accident is definitely higher than driving straight, due to mis-control, poor judgement etc issue.
Ok, I only focus on the probability issue, the rest issue could be more about placebo effect I posted earlier.

Don't look down on placebo effect, it could influence individual quite significantly eventually affect a lot of issue afterwards.

please understand the meaning of "negligible" before saying surely is higher. also there is no proper study showing that T-houses experiences more accident than non T-house

agree that if feng shui is so powerful those so called master no need to waste time promote like hell and some even try different way to cheat people money. they could just find a auspicious day, time, position, etc and go visit uncle lim place to get $$$$.

maybe one can view feng shui as something that can "improve" luck/health/higher chances of getting something u want.


Added on March 4, 2010, 11:48 pmanyway, i want to ask about Bazi, is it worth to pay ppl money to understand out own Bazi? to understand our future, destiny....

altho this is part of fengshui but i think this should be more "believable"

it's something like astrology right? thanks

how is astrology/bazi/palm reading/face reading/bone groping/entrail reading/tea leave reading/tulang nujum/etc more believable than feng shui?

traditional medicine (unlike fengshui) is often testable and researchable. plenty of scientific test has been done on some traditional medicine. try doing that to fengshui.

Lets put it in other terms. What about the kinetic theory in physics? What the heck is an atom? Why must it look the way it is? Even now we'r doing classical physics based on these assumptions because it cant be proven wrong.

Same goes for fengshui, in a way. Nobody has the right to claim it dysfunctional as it's something that can't be proven, right or wrong. The basis is there. We follow it. You tap into its potential, you prosper. It's just that these days there are just too many conmen twisting the facts of fengshui for their personal gain.

that the thing, where is the basis? is that basis testable?

and no, if you think an atom/electron is a very tiny sphere, you have not studied enough. that sphere model is a simplified version that is shown/proven to work at macro levels. rest is in quantum mechanics.

my personal peeve is when people extrapolate their lack of knowledge onto science and make it look like existing science facts is false. when it is proven to be false the science community will the the 1st to publish an addendum, thank you very much.
