Pseudo-Skeptics vs. Genuine investigators
When investigating reality beware of cynicism and excessive or out of control skepticism. Lots of people want to tell us what to believe about reality itself, and there will be frauds, controversial theories and wrong interpretations of data. There are people determined to ignore data to cling to worldviews and so on. Some people only seek power and want others to believe certain things to maintain their control. Some people manipulate data and selectively use only parts of information to make willing believers accept specific worldviews. So a proper amount of genuine skepticism is needed. Unfortunately, the prominent skeptical community is awash with pseudo-skeptics pretending to be objective when they are not. The resources below will help any genuinely critical thinking open-minded person understand and deal with pseudo-skeptics who are in fact just another roadblock to the truth.

Skeptical about Skeptics:
PSEUDO-SKEPTICS REVEALED
About this site:
Many self-proclaimed skeptics are committed to upholding the authority of established science by maintaining conventional taboos. They are intolerant of those who transgress the boundaries of scientific orthodoxy. These self-appointed gatekeepers of the dominant paradigm proudly call themselves skeptics but reveal themselves as fundamentalists who dismiss any evidence that challenges their belief system.
Skeptical About Skeptics examines the ill-informed attacks leveled by these pseudo-skeptics. With articles by well-known scientists and thinkers, we reveal their faulty critiques and the underhanded methods they employ. We highlight controversies in specific fields of research and shine a light on prominent skeptics and skeptical organizations.
We are pro-science, and we are in favor of open-minded inquiry.
