I think this is a reasonable question to have, but is something that LessWrong has kinda tried to move on from as a whole, so you may not find many people interested in answering it here. (i.e. LessWrong doesn’t focus much on traditional skeptic/woo debates, instead trying to settle those questions so we can move on to more interesting problems)
Just wanted to let you know. I do think reading through many of the core sequences may help. (Unfortunately I don’t currently know which sub-sections will be most relevant to you offhand)
