Hello, friends:
. Being careful to avoid confirmation bias, what is your assessment, as to why the I Ching is still so popular despite its poor efficacy. Thank you very much.

Hello, friends:
I am interested in your opinions about I Ching accuracy. I have found that the I Ching is seldom correct when asked for advice about a future event or present situation. In fact, its usually not even remotely close. I know apologists will say that it was really answering another question than what I asked, or perhaps, I simply didn't like the response I was given. Those answers are a cop-out. I've checked the I Ching replies against many different translations, and I've really applied critical thinking, and either the I Ching purposely misleads, or is far too cryptic for modern use, or is, as I have noted, just plain wrong most of the time.

Hi, again:
I just thought of something. I have only consulted the I Ching via the internet-on this site. Perhaps, this is not how it should be done, and I might get better results if I actually toss the reading, or have Hilliary do it?
BTW, let's state the obvious: nothing last for 3000 years and more, accumulates more literature and commentary than any other classic-- with the exception, perhaps, of the Bible--, have cemented dynasties, etc., by being "wrong"...
L
...repeated questioning on same topic eventually just gives confusion.
The IC is way ahead of the Bible on that score, the latter being gradually corrupted to leave largely the most hateful propaganda, distortions and gibberish used for nothing more than mass control.
The IC on the other hand would make a wonderful replacement. I wonder what the world would have been like if The Book of Changes had been the front runner to influence humanity...

Rosada, Bradford, you make excellent points-very thought provoking. Trojan, thank you for your insightful comments. I don't think asking about a relationship over a long linear period of time should excuse consistantly poor, or wrong advice from the I Ching. If I inquire of a calculator the answer to a math problem, its not going to pick and choose if its going to give me a purposely misleading response. If the I Ching is truly an oracle it will give an accurate reply. If an all-knowing I Ching it gives incorrect and/or misleaing advice to a mere mortal looking for help, than that would make it less than ethical.
(do calculators have their own discussion forums ??)
