　　Being skeptic⁷ is not a radical⁸ way of thinking, but a logical thought process. It is important for healthy skepticism to keep our minds open to new ideas, and to prevent us from becoming unthinking dogmatists with no individuality. If there were no one in the world to doubt, then we’ll all still believe the world is flat and science would never exist. Skepticism is a healthy outlook that doesn’t hinder our society, as some may have you believe, but benefits it.
