| 0:00.0 | Hey this is Leo for actualized.org. |
| 0:04.0 | And in this episode I'm going to be talking about true versus false skepticism. |
| 0:09.0 | I'm going to teach you about the original ancient school of skepticism called |
| 0:14.0 | Perianism and how very different it was from modern |
| 0:18.1 | versions of skepticism. The supreme function of reason is to show man that some things are beyond reason. |
| 0:37.0 | A quote by Blaze Pascal. |
| 0:41.0 | I have a big gripe with modern skepticism because modern skepticism is really a |
| 0:47.4 | hundred and eighty degree perversion of what true skepticism was supposed to be And to understand this we need to go |

| 1:35.2 | I've studied quite a bit of Western philosophy, I majored in it in university. |
| 1:40.6 | I find Pyronism to be the most accurate, epistemically speaking. |
| 1:47.0 | And one of the most important influences in my life which has allowed me to move forward in to |
| 1:56.8 | advance self-actualization work. It simply would not be possible for me had I |
| 2:01.8 | not embraced Perrinism very early on in my teenage years. |
| 2:08.6 | And so I hope to convince you of this and to show you just how practical of a philosophy this is because there's some very important |
