I’ve found my calling as a scientific skeptic. I have set out to explore the nether regions of scientific inquiry and to call out the threads that seem to me to have the most validity.
I ask your indulgence for a two-sentence rant. An easy way to build a career as a “skeptic” is to be skeptical only of challenges to the mainstream. I’m thinking of Michael Shermer, Amazing Randi, Richard Dawkins and Eugenie Scott.
For the coming year, I have set myself the ambitious project of exploring topics that are beyond the scope of my present skepticism, to learn as much as needed to evaluate their claims.
