Formulating a rational defense of skepticism (a work in progress)
#27
RE: Formulating a rational defense of skepticism (a work in progress)
Except that I don't believe "skepticism is good", something I made plainly clear posts ago. Argue with yourself on that count all day long, that's your business. You still haven't provided anything that would support the conclusion that my skepticism is irrational, you just keep saying that it is..lol. It's starting to seem odd that you spend so much time trying to out irrationality in a thread that was so specifically titled "Formulating a rational defense of skepticism". Especially considering that whether or not I have irrational thoughts or proclivities was never an issue of contention to begin with. I most definitively do, but is my skepticism one of those things? You haven't shown this to be the case.

I use tools when they work. If they don't..I don't. Pretty simple stuff eh?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
