Between the Edmon and the Lozbrozo Czar

I'm a skeptic. On life experience and belief.

But I'm an idealist. According to papillary patterns and palmistry. And I'm by nature "incapable of science and commerce."This is evidenced by the absence of the Mount of Mercury on my left hand, which, incidentally, did not prevent me from learning to spit at school, and then, if I believe my right hand, "develop a strong mind"( speed of thought and action, understanding and ability to master( the hill of Mercury)).In short, I'm a man who made himself. And even so, that( again, on the lines on his hand) he began to "deeply understand art," not having the slightest inclination towards him! However, is it any wonder if I have three( !) Lines of life on my left arm? Yes, even with branches. Not otherwise than as a "man with a triple bottom". ..

If seriously, the scientific study of papillary patterns has been conducted for more than a hundred years. And it's not just the Admiral Locar system that has been adopted by criminologists of all countries. The condition of the internal organs really leaves its marks on the palm of your hand. And not only on it. Iris, which is mentioned in the story of Tatiana Galkina, earlobe, feet. .. But pay attention, talking about palmistry, willingly or unwittingly the scientist speaks most of all about psychology, and not about the lines on his hand. A good psychologist can always tell a lot about a person, drawing information only from his behavior and appearance. Than and use not without success all professional fortunetellers. In observance they can not refuse.

So, I completely deny the existence of such a science as palmistry? If we regard it unequivocally, as the odious theory of Cesare Lombroso, then - yes, I deny. But at the same time I realize that the unambiguousness of the assessments has already led us in our time to deny as "pseudoscience" not only folk medicine, but also genetics and cybernetics, hindered the development of thought in many areas of knowledge for many years. We will not discuss the reasons for another explosion of interest in our country towards mysticism, occultism and, in particular, palmistry. And we will not mix any devilry with incomprehensible things for us. We agree that any research in science is useful, even when they give a negative result. And what is the negative result?

The quest for a philosopher's stone did not give us gold, but laid the foundation for chemistry. And the patent offices of many developed countries today are again accepting and carefully studying the applications of inventors for perpetual motion! Not because there is now a doubt about the correctness of the fundamental laws of nature, but because the search for the unconventional - and intelligent people has long understood this - often gives unconventional results. Let not even there, where in the beginning they were looking.
