I think your belief in psi is probably the result of a bias in favor of such hypotheses (partly directly, and partly affecting your enthusiasm for other beliefs that feed into psi)

Might you characterize the bias?

(When I introspect on my rationale for taking these things seriously, it seems it's because I think it's best to assume the worst. I.e. psi and UFOs would mean the universe is significantly weirder than I'm comfortable with and I'm not at all sure how that would fit in with plans for reducing x-risk or more generally doing the right thing.

Secondary and tertiary reasons (not the result of introspection but of guessing) would be wanting the universe to be really weird and interesting, and wanting to be maximally contrarian. I'm not sure the secondary reason is true but the third likely is.)
