I like to think of true anomalies as events and phenomena that happen outside the known laws of nature. The Big Bang would be one of these. Consciousness would be another..A wormhole? Maybe not.

I've already been over this. The reason I conclude that they're paranormal or otherwordly is because I [really want them to be]. I'm not going to post videos of things that [that don't fit my woo]. This is the "Weird" section after all, not the "Things that look weird but really aren't" section.

You seem to have this dogmatic belief that there are no videos of unexplained phenomena and that they are all really mundane things.

That is an overly defensive straw man. There are plenty of unexplained things, but unexplained and mundane are not mutually exclusive. Just look at your Chinese lantern, highways lights, etc.. They were unexplained... until an explanation was found. Science is all about making the unexplained known, so if you were really applying science, you'd accept that these things could become mundane.

But that would go against your worldview/ideology.

And no, I don't claim to know what uap or ghosts or even Bigfoot are.

Hence argument from ignorance.

LOL Uhh no. Chinese lanterns and highway lights are explained things, not unexplained things.

But that would go against your worldview/ideology.

I don't have a worldview. The universe could at any time turn into a pickle for all I know.

Obviously the Chinese lantern and highway lights weren't always explained. They became explained after people, including you, mistook them for UFOs.
So the unexplained became explained... the whole purpose of science.

You're delusional if you don't think you espouse a very definite worldview. It's so definite, there are many people who share it. They have websites, conventions, etc..

[Magical Realist]

They became explained

Exactly..Tks for confirming that!

Oh look...here it is now!

Yes, the "unexplained" became mundane. The unknown, known. That is science. Not this perpetual cycle of making claims, proclaiming them the truth, and never becoming any wiser on what they truly are. That is willful ignorance, as it avoids any possible mundane explanation in favor of continued ignorance.

That's pretty much the scientism or Enlightenment narrative at least. That there are no unknown or anomalous phenomena and that everything is really just already explained mundane things. The universe reduced to a atomistic and logical machine where everything happens according to pre-existing laws. Since my research into the anomalous I have found that worldview to be woefully inadequate. And the sooner we acknowledge that the laws are of our own making and that consciousness is the vital core of everything the sooner we will begin to grasp our place here.

[Syne]

No, that's literally what science does. Scientism is the assertion that science WILL inevitably find the answer.
I challenge you to find where I've ever said that.

But I can understand why someone as anti-science as you would levy the accusation. Even though you know I don't believe in reductionism, since I believe in freewill, souls, god, etc..

You're just desperate.
