It is so true that the internal mental/ideological structure of most "skepticism" is very similar to religious fundamentalism.
This short article got linked here a few days ago and it's been at the forefront of my mind since then: http://amasci.com/weird/pyrrhon.html http://amasci.com/weird/pyrrhon.html
- twiceaday 6y agoI feel like you can say this about pretty much anything. When the system being thought about gets to a certain size, most people default to 'I think how the people who I trust think.' And most people do not vet this chain of trust because they don't want to or are simply unable to. After a while, they end up with convictions they cannot defend rationally.
