Scientific skepticism, the process by which we tell what's real from what's not, counts

the philosopher Socrates among its founders.

In his quest to rationally and logically understand the world, free of fallacious influences,

he developed what we now call these socratic questions.

Today, we're going to look at these and see how we can apply them in our ongoing quest

to know what's true.

That's coming up next, Unscuptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor.

We're conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

Also, surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEPTOID.

Thanks.

You're listening to Skeptoid.

I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com.
