Skeptics are naive ? Affirmative scepticism is the opposite of unconscious naiveness. The oriental phrase as large the face as large the back, is a general rule of how an extreme or evident position has a proportional and reversed one that is also part of the personality. In the case of an individual, usually member of a declared organization promoting skepticism we usually see that this person is a blind believer of a main stream belief system, usually called science. We can see, with open minds, that what some pretends being science is the use of a technology out of control by some humans whose brains and knowledge are to big for them to control. Like offering a real gun to a kid and telling him to go out and play. Recent catastrophe are clearly showing the image of the mad scientist unaware of the effects or in a hypnotic trance pushing him to go ahead with his crazy projects even if all is collapsing around. This belief system based on spectacular realizations, most of the time with short term and localized positive effects, giving the impression to those naive individuals their religion is the true one so they build temples called schools and universities to educate other naive persons. The usual answer to the actual and evident failure of their projects is that they will eventually, in a close future, bring great benefits to humanity. We saw and see they, and their financiers, got and get their profits while saying, ad nauseam, that it will bring something to others in a near future. Like a donkey running after a carrot on a stick, the future is never attained and the donkey keeps on running. We have there all the ingredients of religions, paradise that will come if you obediently follow the recipe of life the so called science promotes. You work like a slave for years in an insane middle in an unhealthy job with the promise of a golden retreat with a huge pension. The mythic Eldorado, their religious magazines and films shows as some sort of Venus project where robots will take care of everything while you’ll enjoy a life of leisure filled of joys, including sexy young nurses to change your diapers. We see that, here and now, reality is far from being a paradise, cuts in pensions, cost of life raising, chronic illness increasing and so on. It seems obvious the most ardent skeptics are naive fanatics... what do you think ?
