The Importance of Skepticism

It seems that I can never tire of reinforcing critical thinking and skepticism in society, simply because in every direction I can look, there is, like the bat-signal, a need to apply them.

From pseudoscience to religion, from alternative medicine to quack psychologists, to slack in out intellectual integrity, to remove the pressure for scientific rigor is to fall into the dark ages of snake-oil salesmen and shamanism.

Please try your best not to invoke special pleading or move the goal posts, but to apply skepticism and critical thinking to every aspect of life as needed. TheraminTrees has, on YouTube  a new video explaining the need of skepticism and the imminent danger presented to our lives and our society without it.

Worth every second, a very informing video about the inner workings of quack science in the UK.
