RE: Omg look! A UFO! Quick! Let's grab the shittiest quality camera we have!

I think the camera quality in our phones today are a lot better than what we see today.

Can you explain no true scotsman fallacy? Sorry, I just googled it but I don't really get it. Why don't you believe in ghosts though?

Haha maybe psychics do .You heard of James Randi? Check out him:

Brilliant speaker and ex-magician who debunks psychics.

Thanks for commenting dude!

The camera quality in our phones is getting much better. But expecting to get a quality picture from the average persons phone of an object possibly miles in the air is a little unrealistic.

No true scotsman fallacy is like saying "anyone who is pro-life isnt a feminist". Basically you made the claim that people researching ghosts arent true scientists because some have a reality show.

I have heard of James Randi, have you heard of Annette Martin and other psychic detectives who have correctly predicted the locations of missing people?

I see. Thanks!

Nope I haven't heard of them. Let me go read up on them.

As for the fallacy, well, the point of my post is about going back to common sense. Yes, going deeper is important to find the truth, but I find that going too deep, and evading one's common sense is dangerous.

It sounds paradoxical, but yeah.

Isn't it a bad thing to overthink, overanlayze to the point you forgot why you started in the first place?

Common sense once told us that the world was flat, and man would never fly. Thanks to people who overthought, went to deep and evaded the "truth" we are were we are today.
