forum for week of 26 September: skepticism

I suspect they see scepticism as possible but the lack of resistance is because it isn't a falsifiable theory. Karl Popper noted that the demarcation between science and dogma was whether or not there was a potential piece of evidence that could prove the theory wrong. Scepticism offers no such possible piece of evidence, making arguing with a sceptic both pointless and exhausting.
