Unit 3: Critical Thinking Exercises

1. Have you ever had an odd experience where you suspected something “otherworldly?” If so, why do you think you suspected that? Thinking back to that experience, can you think of three other possible answers to the strange experience?

2. Why do you think the human brain tends to solve every puzzle it comes across? Could this sometimes be a bad thing?

3. If one cryptid was proven to be undoubtedly real, how would that change how cryptozoology is generally viewed? Should every cryptid be reevaluated for its legitimacy if this were to occur? Would this make cryptozoology less of a pseudoscience?
