Pseudoscience, Against

a) Pseudoscience is impossible to falsify, because it is based on very little or no fact; thus it is unreasonable to believe in as their opinion has not been calculated using any facts nor reason. A conscience decision is made based on what surrounding people believe so not to be the odd one out.

The more people believing it, the more people will follow as humans naturally follow trends so not to fall out of normality – just like anything, people adapt to the culture and beliefs of their surroundings, something extremely hard to brake. Furthermore, if a person believes in one concept of pseudoscience, they are far more likely to believe in another; their unreason would even go as far as segueing into other parts of the person’s life, making them incapable or too lazy to determine the most reasonable and proven facts before making an important, or even trivial decision.
