[edit] About Me

I'm an 18-year-old reincarnationist/neutral Buddhist university student at Curtin University, currently studying in a Communications & Cultural Studies/Multimedia Design double degree (you would not believe how much abuse I take from my engineer friends on being a member of the Humanities department - but I'm doing something I love).

Alcoholic beverages do not interest me.

[edit] Choice Quotes

Colin Wilson in Beyond the Occult, pp. 215-6: "I defy anyone to make a series study of [the paranormal] and not to end up totally convinced. Scepticism is only another name for a certain lazy-minded dogmatism."

"If scientists as a whole denounce an idea this should not necessarily be taken as proof that the said idea is absurd: rather, one should examine carefully the alleged grounds for such opinions and judge how well these stand up to detailed scrutiny." -B. D. Josephson

[edit] Pseudoscepticism - The WRONG Type of Skepticism

The following are typical characteristics of pseudoskepticism:

1. Resorting to logical fallacies in order to justify rejecting the position or argument of another.
2. Assuming unverified or incorrect facts to justify a predetermined skeptical conclusion.
3. Obfuscating easily verifiable facts to justify a predetermined skeptical conclusion.
4. Instituting hurdles against new theories by "moving the goalposts".
5. Displaying a reactionary, hostile and intolerant stance regarding new ideas.
6. Judging a hypothesis or theory without investigation and insisting on ignoring the details thereafter.
