Episode notes
No one in the history of the world is ever self-identified as a pseudo-scientist. And so the question is, what does it mean to be a skeptic? Really, it's following the evidence. When there's enough evidence to kind of tip the scales into belief with a small B in the truth, with a small T, when there's a consensus, you can say, yeah, okay, so I'll accept it as provisionally true.
