forum for week of 26 September: skepticism

I believe people are less inclined to dispute the ideas suggested by sceptics, because of a lack of attachment to the argument. Non-sceptics accept reality how it is and whether a mass illusion exists in generally not a topic of interest. This debate is comparable to the debate between theists and atheists, however, people defend their religious beliefs more rigorously, because it is a topic of great relevance and debate in our cultures and has been for thousands of years. However, the idea that our reality could be a massive illusion has resulted in far less debate due to it's lack of relevance in our society.
