Quacking Death
If a skeptic is presented with an astounding alternative paradigm idea, they very often will invoke Occam’s Razor as a means of countering it. Occam’s Razor might best be summarised as ‘the simplest explanation is often the best’. So, if you are trying to say that the reason an apple […]

The Unexamined Life
In my previous essay “The Debunker: A Pseudo-Skeptic By Any Other Name“, I examined the philosophy and tactics of ‘the debunker’, reasoning that an underlying insecurity caused the debunker to commit fiercely to dogmatic beliefs.
