The Scientific Skepticism vs. Pseudo Skepticism chart reminded me of one of my favorite movies, Signs (2002) It’s an M. Night Shyamalan alien thriller, but it’s also a movie about faith In one scene, Graham explains that people fall into two categories, then asks Merrill which one he’s in (long quote ⬇️) “I'm sure the people in group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they're on their own. And that fills them with fear. But there's a whole lot of people in group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they're looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope. Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?”

The essay by Susi grapples with the current ‘hyper real, post truth era.’ AI has produced a new wave of digital sleight of hand that has left many of us questioning ‘real or fake’ on every piece of content we see. It’s an incredible read, and I feel this altered version of a meme sums up the solution to endless skepticism. The Scientific Skeptics must encourage the Pseudo Skeptics to think outside the box, stay humble, experiment, and find whimsy in digital magic. Vice versa, the Pseudo Skeptics can help Scientific Skeptics stay grounded and challenge their findings, making new methods of discovering truth much stronger than anything we’ve had before 💭
