Despite the difficulty of task entailed in informing people of the possibility that they have been fooled, apparently we at The Ethical Skeptic are not the only ones who bear a discomfort with the deceptive and misleading actions of Social Skeptics. We consistently receive private feedback on the order of ‘I knew there was something that I just didn’t like about this group,’ or ‘It’s nice to have someone finally articulate this. Keep up the good work.’ Frankly, because the power of the group and its habits over the last century, people are intimidated by this Oppressive Cabal of fake skeptics. Media persona, educators and scientists will only speak against them in private, and dare not tender their honest thoughts on pluralistic subjects publicly.

I do not blame them at all, as I have seen fake skeptics at work in my professions and business verticals, as well as in the social discourse. No one can speak out against them without fear of harassment, ostracizing or harm to their career or reputation. It is not that all their conclusions are wrong; rather, they employ an errant vigilante methodology in lieu of science.  It is this pseudo scientific method which concerns us most at The Ethical Skeptic. The method is justified through its media-hyped application by non STEM professionals on stooge posed and easily debunked topics. Moreover, it is further then employed to promote Nihilism, control institutions and people. and develop a presiding culture of fear and ignorance.

We, real science and engineering professionals, are beginning to speak up about this misrepresentation of science, and our collective professional opinions.

Ethical Skepticism

/ Epoché Vanguards Gnosis / : a means of disciplining one’s mind, practices and data sets in order to maintain objectivity in methods of science. The positive technique of developing a neutral phylogeny, cataloging existing and new data without prejudice. An aversion to obsessing over proof or the disposing of subjects, people and claims; while instead, focusing on accruing field observations and asking the critical reduction path, value and clarity enhancing, next question under the scientific method. Defense of the Knowledge Development Process through application of Ockham’s Razor and full scientific methodology. Opposition to all thinking which seeks to surreptitiously establish power through errant science or method, religion, institution, cabal, oligarchy, intimidation or ignorance – regardless of how ‘critical’ or ‘rational’ it purports to be.

“When I speak, I speak to the public, not to some point-fingered critic.” – notorious ill mannered self promoting Sorwert Scale Level V Social Skeptic

The Ethical Skeptic has been blocked on Twitter by some of the most prominent Social Skeptics, not because of harassment by any means. But because, in order to live in a cocoon of delusion, one must proactively block all competing or outside philosophy and surround themselves with only the qualified club members. Sounds an awful lot like a religion we all know.

What this means is, that we are making an impact. Their fear of being in error resides second only to their fear of the unknown.
