Who's interested in it?

*raises hand*

 

[stevenkelby]

Define it better. I would vote against it I think.

I'm cynical and cautious but not skeptical, AFAIK.

In what field? Religious scepticism (in which case this thread is a non-starter) or scepticism towards the paranormal?

If the latter, then my views fall sternly in line with those of the James Randi Foundation. In particular their "million dollar challenge". If these powers and abilities exist, then somebody would have claimed the prize. Simple.

I kind of assumed it was related to head fi. Cables, burn in, hyped fotms etc.

 

[GAD]

I'm for Critical Thinking...

[ken36]

Not me.

 

[Marados]

All of you are right in essence.

I'm getting at the point of scientific skepticism. Religious skepticism (this isn't a religious thread; no debate will occur within this thread), Critical Thinking, Paranormal skepticism, the likes of that.

And stewtheking, I'm personally waiting for the headline "Psychic banned from lottery on grounds on consecutive wins" =p

I am skeptical about whether this thread will last throughout the day without making a turn for the worse and getting locked

 

[Mrvile]

I have a feeling no one in this thread knows what he or she is talking about...

P: All of you Aussies and Kiwis are misspelling skepticism with a K.

If you believe that P is true or that P is false, you are not a skeptic in matters of Ausso-Kiwi spelling. If you believe that we cannot say whether P is true or false, or if you believe that we cannot say whether we can say that P is true or false, then you are a skeptic in these matters and also very likely failed the first grade.

I am not interested...

 

[nibiyabi]

Always skeptical. Show me proof please.

Do not mix the concepts of thoughts or ideals and actually thinking about something.

In other words:

Some people are just so impulsive that they think that having a though or ideal is actually thinking about something. And some people are so afraid of thinking so that they take to being skeptical about everything just to keep from having to work at critical thinking. Being simply opposed to something is easy while working through the logic of an issue requires work. This addresses critical thinking or the lack thereof and skepticism.

(got that tat on my back, with smiley too)

I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm skeptical about it anyway...
