Definition: Ideology is the belief system based on the person's religious or political beliefs.

Connection: The article below gives the perfect example of ideology. The article describes the death of a child in 2008 and the court case that followed. Treatment was refused because of the parents religious beliefs as part of the "Unleavened Bread Ministries", which follows the belief that their god gives life and takes away life and healing is within their god's hands not any intervention of man.

Definition: Our brain and imagination adding meaning and intention to things we can't explain. (I.E. the unexplainable light must be a UFO.)

Connection: The video below talks about the men in black, which is a popular conspiracy theory about a supposed government agency that covers up UFO sightings through fear. This video provides a good example of the reason to believe "Agenticity". There have been encounters with "the men in black" since the late 1940's whether these men actually are real, whether there is an actually a government agency we don't know for sure, but people attribute them with unexplained phenomena of UFO's.

Definition: The human brain naturally likes to see patterns, and sometimes will try and see patterns to help explain things that don't have an explanation (I.E. shapes that can look human that aren't human at all.)

Connection:  In the following video made by a religious group trying to exposure the dangers of rock and roll to the younger generation. Starting around the 5:00 minute mark they give us a great example of the reason to believe "Patternicity".  They talk about back masking in the song stairway to heaven and try convince people that Led Zeppelin was part of a Satanic Cult and that the devil was putting satanic messages in their songs. They play the song and then play it backwards with the supposed words on screen, therefore confusing the brain to make some sense of the meaningless noise.

Definition:  Distracting people from the topic at hand with random information that has no relevance to the topic.

Connection: In the following video there are several examples of the red flag pseudoscience "Red Herring". One example is where Donald Trump is asked to answer questions on his sexual assault allegations and he starts talking and halfway through answering he completely goes off topic and begins talking about his campaign promises, distracting people from the original questions.

Definition: When ideas and products are endorsed by celebrities and people who appear to have authority to give the products or ideas credibility.

Connection: In this comedic Simpsons scene is a great example of the red flag appeal to authority. Mr. Burns is trying to convince people that the fish with the third eye didn't get the eye from radiation poisoning from his nuclear power plant, but rather is just an evolutionary mutation. He even goes so far as to bring in an actor as Charles Darwin to solidify his point. Amazingly the townspeople actually believed him since Charles Darwin himself said it, so it must be true.

Simpsons Logical Fallacies:  Appeal to Doubtful Authority

I have decided to evaluate the video by C.P Grey where he discusses the idea that many people believed that the world would end in 2012.
https://youtu.be/kcc_KAhwpa0
Define Problem (extraordinary claim): People believed the world would end in 2012, due to the end of the Mayan calendar.

Gather Information: New agers and a lot of the general population believed the end of the Mayan calendar would bring the end of the world, since the Mayans created calendars that lasted until the year 2012.

Evaluate evidence:  We are still here today in 2020, so clearly the world didn't end in 2012, and the people making these assumptions were not scientists or archeologists, but rather everyday people falling prey to the red flag ancient wisdom.

Recognize Assumptions, Emotions, Biases: The people who believed this theory are the making the assumption that the Mayans somehow knew when the world was going to end and that's why they stopped the calendar in 2012, when in fact the Mayan's didn't know anymore about the end of the world than we do today. Emotion and hype came into play as the movie 2012 also came out during this time causing mass hysteria in uneducated individuals.

Synthesize Evidence, Identify Alternatives:

1.  The world doesn't end in 2012 and life goes on.

2. The world ends and the new agers were right.

Select Best Alternative:

1.  The world didn't end in 2012 and we are still here eight years later in 2020.

Definition: Ancient Wisdom is the idea that ancient civilizations have more knowledge than we do today about medicine and science (i.e. Crystal Skulls)

Connection: In this Youtube video C.P. Grey a Youtuber, created a video on Youtube about 2012 and how the Mayans predicted the end of the world through their calendar and a significant amount of people believed it, even though there was no scientific evidence to support this theory.

Definition: The missuse of the term energy to have a correlation with healing when in fact it doesn't.  The definition of energy itself is "The strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity." This definition of energy is as quoted from Oxford Dictionary.

Connection: In the following video below Master Sri talks in this tutorial style video on how to heal the body through our "mystical powers". He speaks also about using our body's  "natural energy healing blueprint". Both of these phrases indicate the pseudoscience red flag of mystical energy as there is literally scientific evidence that healing through energy is fake.

Definition: The belief that things that are "all natural" are safer for you then products by companies who use synthetic chemicals.

Connection: In this video Dr. Fritz explains the benefits of naturopathic medicine and treatments as an alternative to traditional medicine. One connection to pseudoscience that she speaks about is IV therapy, which is where vitamins are injected directly into the bloodstream through IV. This treatment has had little to no evidence being effective though. Another indication of pseudoscience is the belief that the body can heal itself most of the time without any traditional intervention most of the time.
