Introducing Skeptic’s Circle
The actual entries are even more interesting than what I expected when I saw the announcement, which describes the meme as:
This one focuses on critical thinking and how it is applied to pseudoscience, quackery, bad history, and urban legends.
Imagine taking the kinds of things you might look up in Snopes for veracity, or debunk because someone learned their history wrong or is making stuff up for a cause or believing bad rumors, and you have the Skeptic’s Circle You may want to check it out.
I don’t see much skeptical thought there, just Skeptian dogma. When I see someone deriding psuedoscience and then supporting the general theory of Evolution in the same place, there is a distinct logical disconnect. Next thing you know, they will be defending the hypothesis that human influence is causing global warming.
