What is “Skepticism”? Simply put, skeptics question things, that’s it. Contrary to the beliefs of some, skeptics are not constantly scowling and muttering miserably under their breath, they are not to be confused with cynics. Skeptics look for truth through rational inquiry and the scientific method, principals that lead to much more satisfactory conclusions than religion or pseudoscience.
Skeptics are generally friendly, sociable people, as testified by the “Skeptics in the Pub” network. These can be found throughout the UK, and speakers cover a range of topics, from science to philosophy.
