Document Summary
How to think about weird things focuses on how to find answers to tough or weird questions. People often share their beliefs on almost any topic, but they seldom give good reasons for having their beliefs. Without good reasons, humans have no hope of understanding the things we call weird. Our beliefs would just be arbitrary or random if we did not have reasons for believing it. Belief alone without good reasons does not get one closer to the truth. This book covers the good reasons to believe a claim, how to weight evidence and how to draw well formed conclusions. This book states that claims that the following are false (some removed): There is no such thing as objective truth. There are spiritual, mystical or inner ways of know that are superior to our ordinary ways of knowing. If an experience seems real, it is real.
