Where would we be without skepticism? And without those brave, intelligent skeptics we heard about here. Skepticism saves knowledge from disappearing or becoming hidden and insignificant to people, thereby saving their dignity and wealth. Skepticism, like science, is based on the principle of objectivity (no one's word should be taken for granted).
Great words. I used to be an open skeptic but have been forced to become a closet skeptic and keep silent when all my friends start off banging on about chemtrails, HAARP and all the other mindless rubbish. They get very aggressive and threatening if I express any doubt or issue any challenges to their anti-vax and global warming denialism. So I can either be a lonely open skeptic or a closet skeptic with friends.
Incredibly interesting, entertaining and profound talk.Excellent.
Definitely one of the highlights of this year's TAM! And great use of presentation slides
Exceptional talk. Thank you for sharing this.
Excellent Talk - Needs a wider audience
Thank you. That was an excellent talk!
One of the best talks at TAM, everyone was talking about this afterwards in the hallway.
Very inspiring indeed
Beautiful talk, gives me hope

Hmmm... and why are they your "friends" exactly? ;-(
Hope you get into into a better circle of friends, never good to be closeted for too long
Yea, he should become a good influence on them.
If only they could have put the mic away from his mouth.
