No, the Weather isn't "Weird"
A friend of mine commented the other day: "The weather! Isn't it weird?" At the time it was sunny and about 85 degrees...perfect! So why would she say that the weather is weird? Skepticism. She pretends that nothing can be known with certainty and therefore anything is possible. If certainty of knowledge is impossible then superstition reigns. We should put our confidence and trust not in science or god, but in people. As Ayn Rand put it "Attilas" and "witchdoctors" that will shield us from the terrifying and unknowable universe around us. Skepticism however, is self-contradictory. The declaration that "nothing can be known with certainty" is in itself a statement of certainty. I ignored the statement/question that my friend confronted me with but I could have just as easily handled it a different way. By asking her "Are you sure?" - You're welcome.
