Don't worry about questions that you can't answer.
I consider myself a skeptic.  I'm a skeptic to the extent that the phrase "cogito ergo sum" ('I think therefor I am') does not even mean that I can deduce I'm a human being.  All I know is that I exist.

In interacting with people, my self (my body, emotions, etc) and my environment, I have to make a lot of assumptions.  I have to assume I exist.  I have to assume that I actually am a human being.  I also assume that we all exist in the same, consistent world (though I do look for inconsistencies).

Be skeptical.  Question everything.

Why is this a problem?


Ah yes, Descartes' Meditations. Cogito ergo sum actually means "I am, I exist".

It seems like a problem because you can't get anywhere. But I guess where can we go? Where should we go? No one can say.

Every moment is perfect, and once you understand and live it, you will be happy and never sceptic.

Put down skepticism in the stack as a block in the black.
Place your faith race in space face to face with grace.
Cap off the monument with a yin-yang wingback.
Appropriately hang your 'shirt' on the coat rack.
Any hook with any Book.
Look.
Cook.

I feel like I've been taken over by skepticism. I can't even know if I'm here let alone anything else. This is not a very good outlook, how do I let skepticism go?


How do you stop thinking?

Why do you think skepticism is bad? Because a bunch of utopian hippies say it is?
