Moderator: Justin Barba; Panelists: Justin Barba, Randy Pepprock, Gregory Swensrud (Elling Hrolleifson), Jim Wright (Stonekettle)Let's discuss skepticism in this modern age of propaganda, groupthink, and the end of the world. Is skepticism the best way to advance humanity? Is it the only way to resist propaganda? Does it kill creativity and imagination? How can we become more skeptical without losing creativity, dampening imaginations, and turning into cyborgs?
