You put it directly, I said the same thing nicely. Basically, skeptics
are 'dead energy', nothing moves either way, nothing happens.

...wow, what great science.
Let's thus toss out electromagnetism, abstractionism, aphorism....
Actually, the word skepticism is a very revealing word with an
interesting
history and word origin.
The word ism actually means doctrine, system, manner, condition, at and
characteristic.
The history of the word skeptic started with philosophy of the Pyrrho of
Elis, who fought dogmatism by showing reasons for doubting it, but which
today is the position that absolute knowledge is impossible but that
science
can succeed with relative certainty. The word comes from the latin word
scepticus and Greek skeptikos "skeptic" from skeptesthai "to examine
closely". This word comes from a the root, PIE *spek-/*spok- "look,
see"
(i.e. spectator, inspect, and even spice ). Spice via the French
version of
Latin species, which originally meant "kind, type", but later came to
mean
"wares" and then "spice". Finally, the [p] and [k] traded places in
Greek
(metathesis), where we find skopein "to see", like in some great
words words
telescope, microscope, and the new (slang) verb to scope out.
Thus, the word skepticism literally can be translated to mean: To
examine
closely in an orderly manner.
Nice word that. In my experience, 9-10 People who don't like the word
skepticism or skeptics usually don't because the things they say fall
apart
quickly under "close examination".
Your experience may be different though.
Best Regards,
Jason
