This article is 90% quote from Rob Brezsny… on true skepticism versus pseudo-skepticism:
It’s timed perfectly (it landed in my inbox this morning) given my new passion of proving that the diet industry, the food industry, the medical “industry” financed by the pharmaceutical industry (66 billion dollars a year!) is out to milk you, alive or dead, for their own profit and to the detriment of you and the detriment of humanity.
How I do that, whether I am a true skeptic or a pseudo-skeptic should make a huge difference… a pesudo-skeptic is a believer who has given up thinking, proving, questioning, doubting, and intelligence.
You be the judge.
