From Abracadabra to Zombies

3 Dec 1998 Very well. Are you actively seeking data and information that would tend to contradict Skepticism?

Robert

reply: Glad you asked, Robert. Would you ask me if I am seeking information that would tend to contradict bananas? No. Why? Because such a question would not make sense. Why? Because bananas are things, not beliefs. Now, I know that skepticism is not a thing, but it is not a belief either. If you are truly seeking to discover how I approach Skepticism, you should read my FAQ and my entry on Skepticism.
