It gives a pretty good explanation on the difference between skepticism and open-mindedness and how it is easily possible to be both... and how asserting ideas of "god did it" and the like is not.


Honestly, I had a hard time explaining this for a while and even though I knew all of this already, it helped me solidify my understanding enough to verbalize it a bit more. A real good watch.

I've tried to show this to people, but they wouldn't watch it.  :(

That's why you grab them, tie them into a chair, and go all Clockwork orange on them, force em to watch it, for their minds!

They must already be openminded. shame on you for showing them something they're already an expert of!

I live in Utah amongst Tea Partiers. The concept of open mindedness is never, ever brought up in conversation.

Well, one is the normal state of your head, and the other involves sharp force trauma.

Never open your mind to Christianity, because your brain will fall out.

Below is also the difference between a closed and open minded system.
The science side does not stop seeking to improve understanding (that's why the flow chart turns back to the beginning)
Faith ends where it begins... a totally closed system.

The good thing about science, as an added note, is that it can be verified by others than yourself such that several people can have a shared and common view of how stuff works.

I have no idea how faith works, probably because it doesn't.

I love Qualia Soup's videos.

So many useless debates wouldn't be necessary if more people understood the concepts in this vid.
