In a world dominated by magical thinking, superstition, and misinformation, give yourself the benefit of doubt.

Keep an eye out for superstitious nonsense and seek to demystify and celebrate the natural world.

"Tell people there’s an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure."

-George Carlin

“To sacrifice the Earth for Paradise is giving up the substance for the shadow"

-Victor Hugo

“Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.”

-Carl Sagan

The person who is certain, and who claims divine warrant for his certainty, belongs now to the infancy of our species. It may be a long farewell, but it has begun and, like all farewells, should not be protracted.

-Christopher Hitchens
