Sorry if this has been posted before. But i find it is incredibly informative in regards to how we deal with open mindedness. A look at some of the flawed thinking that prompts people who believe in certain non-scientific concepts to advise others who don't to be more open-minded.

Thanks for sharing, Boom. It's an interesting video for it reminds people of two important things: #1 they should be skeptical about things #2 it's not because they can't explain something that it doesn't exist - they just can't manage to explain it. I believe people should understand the unexplainable as such, instead of forcing themselves into buying someone's explanation, whatever it is, just for the sake of having an answer to ease their minds. Why should we be on a rush for fast answers?
I agree... it's healthy to stay skeptical of things you don't understand. Otherwise you can end up focusing all your time and energy in the wrong direction.
