I wonder how many Sextian skeptics we have on this forum. They will flip out if they find out that their own worldview is irrational

I don't know I'd go so far as to say my skepticism isn't rational though, simply because it's a part of my nature. Perhaps being reasonable is also a part of my nature. By the by, I was going to ask you this last post. Aren't you expressing skepticism about skepticism? Pretty sure I was defending skepticism on the basis of it's usefulness btw.
I think you jumped the gun on this one, sorry.
If you haven't thought about it very much, you're skepticism is quite likely irrational.
