I’ve been looking into feng shui lately, specifically the concepts about what makes a person feel more safe or at ease in a space, such as relaxing or sleeping facing the entrance / exit.
While reading, I came across the guidance that you should always shut your toilet seat to prevent your good fortune from being flushed. The real reason you should keep it shut is so it can’t mist shit-water all over your toothbrush every time you flush. Also so your pets don’t drink out of it.
What other things did humans throughout history accidentally get right?
Nah, it’s effective for some things, they just didn’t clarify that it is NOT good for everything idiots claim, but a small subset of chronic pain issues where causing endorphins to release and some direct tissue stimulation are the mechanisms of action.
Sure, you might claim treating symptoms still isn’t “fixing” anything like with much of medicine, but pain relief and stimulation are both very much parts of actual medical recovery plans.
