The output from the large AI model:
Indeed, mystical theories on the Internet have become increasingly popular in recent years, and have had a significant impact on the thoughts and behaviors of many people. These theories often spread rapidly through channels such as social media, forums, and video platforms, attracting a large number of followers. However, whether the impact of these mystical theories on individual thoughts can be explained by science is more complicated. **1. The impact of mystical theories on individual thoughts** Mystical theories often contain supernatural and unverifiable theories, such as astrology, tarot card readings, energy therapy, etc. These theories are attractive in part because they provide a way to explain the complex world and personal confusion, while also satisfying people's curiosity about the mysterious and the unknown. Through community interaction and sharing of personal experiences, these theories can enhance group belonging and identity, further deepening their impact on individuals. **2. The ability of science to explain this impact** Science, especially psychology and neuroscience, can explain to some extent why mystical theories have such a great appeal and influence on individuals. For example: - **Cognitive bias**: People often tend to confirm bias, that is, they are more likely to accept information that is consistent with their existing beliefs. This makes certain views in mystical theories more acceptable. - **Psychological needs**: When faced with uncertainty and stress, people may seek simple explanations or comfort, and mystical doctrines provide such satisfaction. - **Social influence**: Social networks and group dynamics also play an important role in shaping personal beliefs, and group identity and social pressure can reinforce certain beliefs. However, science also has its limitations. Some phenomena in mystical doctrines involve subjective experiences and personal feelings, which are difficult to fully explain through objective experiments and measurements. For example, although some people's spiritual experiences or intuitive feelings can be explored from a psychological perspective, they are still subjective, and science cannot fully explain these complex inner experiences. **3. Summary** In summary, mystical doctrines on the Internet do have an important impact on personal thinking, and science has made some progress in explaining the mechanisms of these effects, especially in understanding human cognition and social behavior. However, due to certain subjective and supernatural elements involved in mystical doctrines, science still faces challenges in fully explaining these phenomena. Therefore, it can be said that science can explain these effects to a large extent, but in some deep and subjective experiences, further research and understanding are still needed.
