Amazes me how a topic like this gets 5 pages worth of replies, but the topic I posted on pseudoscience and being informed before you form an opinion/think something or someone is the truth gets like, five replies.Guess this thread just strengthens my point.

Ok, now did you fact check and cross reference the video that you posted? At what point do you become satisfied with your findings and deem it true or false?
What are your "reliable sources"? School books? FOX News? Wikipedia? Message boards? Twitter? Whose to say that any of those sources dont provide facts and legit information? They all have truths and falses. You have to have a good filter or you'll be taken by it all.
There are so many truth's in the world , and the only way to find the real one is to find YOUR truth. A Christian cant tell a Muslim that what he believes religiously isnt true and vice versa, because that's their own truths.
With all the information that we come across daily, who seriously has time to do extensive research on everything we have a wince about? At the most, I'll pull out the Droid and do a quick Google search, but I'm not spending too much time on it. My time is worth more than that. I feel like I'm wise enough to trust my intuition on what my truth is and go from there. Besides, what's wrong with posting ideas on message boards and seeing what other people have to say about it? That's an excellent way to learn. You can have people validate or disproove your ideas, and everybody can learn something in the process, and it saves much more time than sifting through pages of Google searches.
I take information that makes sense to me, absorb it and keep it in mind, and piece together the puzzle with whatever else I find that fits my truth.
I'm sure you can probably find some untrue information here and there, but no matter what you tell me, you're not going to convince me that the Dogon peoples story isnt true.
