This is a brilliant video about critical thinking and some of the common pratfalls one can run into when you encounter people who think they are open minded but actually are not.

I liked the video. It talks about being open-minded through the examples of Paranormal & Super-natural things. But, I really didn’t understand what the video is trying to convey?

The video can be thought of as conveying the idea that openmindedness paired with critical thinking is a good thing.
Simply, being open to or accepting a wide variety of ideas is not the same as evaluating new concepts and accepting them or rejecting as ideas based on verifiable fact.
One needs to be able to, as the video suggests, have some some sort of analytical filter in place to winnow out the idea that are false.
Hope that helps. :)
