I've noticed a lot of derogatory comments about Thais on these forums regarding their beliefs in superstitions and fortune-telling.
But it's not just Thailand.
1 - Regarding fortune-telling, it has exploded in the West in recent years, There must be 10,000 Tarot readers on Youtube
2 - Regarding superstitions, the old generations from Europe had some superstitions. I can't remember off the top of my head, but my grandmother used to rattle some off. I will look it up online. No one remembers a grandmother with superstitions? It's not just Thailand.
It seems to be it existed in western cultures, but then it was lost and dismissed as rubbish. But is it because people became more educated? Possibly, but that conflicts with the rise in popularity in Tarot in the West ... is Tarot also a sign of a lesser education?
If the West is so much more "educated" than Thailand, why are superstitions seen as silly but yet Tarot is getting more popular?
No one had a grandmother with superstitions? Were they all silly?
