Types of Evidence and Research

Not all types of evidence are created equal. some types of evidence barely even count as evidence since they cannot reliably tell us objective truths about the world. Other types of evidence like scholarly research articles (especially summary research) can determine cause and effect relationships.  

Too often we rely on anecdotal evidence to shape our beliefs. This video teaches us about the different types of evidence and which ones are the most reliable, and which ones we should take with a grain of salt.
