We saw the table pictured below on our Twitter feed (via @MichaelShermer), with the judgmental title: “Paranormal beliefs 2017. Only 25.3% of Americans do not hold any of the 7 beliefs.” (Shermer is a science writer and founder of The Skeptics Society.) But in fairness to the vast majority of people who hold these far-fetched credences, could there be an “optimal level” of paranormal beliefs?
