An Expository Discourse Into The Fallacy of the "Skepticism" Movement

[rva_jeremy]

Bethenny, I highly recommend "A Fool's Phenomenology" if you want a Law of One-friendly critique of the Western tradition of sketpicism.  Here's an excerpt from a chapter titled "That the Enlightenment has appropriated skepticism to itself":

The mediaevals had an expression: "I believe that I might know."  But is knowledge really of primary value?  Is true skepticism the view that real and complete understanding may not be reliably had in this life?  It is against this mind set that skepticism rises to actual value, as a filtering mechanism useful for ferreting out the unbridled claims of knowledge and avoiding the blind alley of hubris.  We must thus distinguish between skepticism which is a function fo pride and skepticism which is a function of humility.  If the later is in play, we may instead be led to confess that we believe that we may not know.  The vulnerability of not knowing, however, reaches to a level of advancement few would dare hazard.  The armor of knowledge is not lightly laid aside.
