Dave Rahardja<p>“The skepticism that I advocate amounts only to this: (1) that when the experts are agreed, the opposite opinion cannot be held to be certain; (2) that when they are not agreed, no opinion can be regarded as certain by a non-expert; and (3) that when they all hold that no sufficient grounds for a positive opinion exist, the ordinary man would do well to suspend his judgment.”</p><p>— Bertrand Russell</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/skepticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skepticism</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/skeptics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skeptics</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/expertise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expertise</span></a></p>
