Question everything

• What if we’re totally wrong?
• About what?
• About everything.

Skepticism can represent:

• a questioning attitude or doubt towards one or more instances of knowledge, which are asserted to be mere belief or dogma
• an attitude of doubt or a disposition to not believe, either in general or toward a particular object
• the doctrine that true knowledge, or knowledge in a particular area is uncertain
• skepticism as an expression of questioning or doubt can be applied to any topic, such as politics, religion, or science

Skepticism is the rejection of a knowledge that is not well supported by evidence, or the denial that knowledge exists at all based on a questioning of reality itself.
A few common types of skepticism:

• philosophical skepticism
• rational skepticism
• professional skepticism
• scientific skepticism
• biased skepticism
• motivated skepticism
• strategic skepticism
• pessimism
• cynicism

To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.
– Oscar Wilde
