I'm becoming more and more skeptical daily. Everyday is a challenge on what I thought was true.
Ultimately, all things are known because you want to believe you know. Facts are chains that bind perception and fetter truth. For a man can remake the world if he has a dream and no facts to cloud his mind.
What is skepticism:
The duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads.
- Alhazen
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
- René Descartes
What is science:
When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it.
- Lord Kelvin
Scientific investigations are a sort of warfare carried on against all one's contemporaries and predecessors.
- Thomas Young
What is confirmation bias:
It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of the siren till she transforms us into beasts.
- Patrick Henry "Give me liberty or give me death!"
