Hello Everyone

[Randi McSheldrake]

Hello everyone.

Just joined the Forum, hoping for some sensible discussions.

I consider myself a Skeptic - however, I'm definitely not a pseudoskeptic! I try to read both sides of the argument (hence my Username) and to think critically.

My guiding principle is the definition of genuine Skepticism articulated by Robert Anton Wilson:

"Doubt A; then doubt B; then doubt both A and B; then doubt your ability to doubt enough".

On the whole, my reading and thinking has led me (so far) to believe that there is a basis of fact behind most anomalous phenomena, and that there is a purposeful intelligence behind what we term "reality".

In other words, I am a skeptic tending towards belief. (Subject, as always, to further evidence.)

I look forward especially to discussions with those genuine skeptics (no pseudos, please) who tend toward disbelief. I'm not looking for any games of one-upmanship, nor for aggressive online confrontation. Rather, I'm hoping to learn something from these discussions and to broaden my mind.

Thanks.

BTW, is there a particular paranormal subject that interests you more than others?
