When thinking about the future of modern fortune-telling, several factors emerge, and fortune-telling can play an important role for people seeking faith or spiritual support, as a tool to derive answers from uncertainties.
There are many choices in the world that are beyond our control, and fortune-telling can serve as a means for people to cope with an uncertain future and pursue self-awareness and self-growth.
However, there are some concerns about fortune-telling, and since fortune-tellers are still human-involved, there can be doubts about their quality, honesty, and accuracy.
The commercialization of expensive fortune-telling and fortune-enhancing goods is also being viewed as a problem. Let’s consider some perspectives here.
Ethics and transparency
The fortune-telling industry is now required to have stricter ethical standards and transparency from a privacy perspective.
Fortune tellers must provide honest and responsible advice to their customers, and are required to make confidential and fair judgments regarding fee structures and information provided.
Emotional support
Since ancient times, fortune telling has sometimes functioned as religious and spiritual support. Fortune-telling that specifically functions as religious or spiritual support corresponds to omikuji.
Omikuji is the first type of fortune-telling used by Japanese people in Shintoism, which is a religion, and it is fair in that there is almost no human intervention, and since it is intended for spiritual support, it does not cause shocks such as great misfortune. I’m trying to avoid producing negative results.
Fortune-telling plays a very important role for people who do not have a choice.
In modern society, fortune-telling can exist as an approach from a different perspective than counseling or psychotherapy.
Scientific approach
There is also a scientific approach to predicting the future, and methods have been developed to evaluate individual characteristics using statistics and psychology so that AI can predict the future.
These are used not only for fortune-telling, but also for corporate diagnosis and personal ability diagnosis, and these approaches are based on a scientific foundation that goes beyond fortune-telling.
Make sure that no further human intervention is required.
Education and information provision
The fortune-telling industry provides counseling to customers while providing information based on the results of fortune-telling, and can help customers with advice on what they want to do for self-growth and solutions to problems they are worried about.
This allows people to make their own choices and have the information they need after hearing fortune-telling from a fortune-teller.
Individual selection
The final choice is up to the individual, and if they decide that fortune-telling is useful for some people, that is their choice and not something to deny or criticize.
However, on the other hand, in these days when it has become easy to tell fortunes on SNS etc., if fraud and malicious practices increase, legal frameworks and regulations may be strengthened to prevent them.
summary
The role of modern divination is wide-ranging, suggesting that it is an important means of support for some people, and that it can also be linked to other scientific approaches.
Consideration of ethics, transparency, information provision, and individual choice will be important for the fortune-telling industry to evolve and become more trustworthy.
How fortune telling will develop in the future will need to proceed in harmony with society.
