sceptical

Scepticism is called curiosity when the interviewee feels personally offended because he is not being treated like Jesus. His fragile ego must conquer you, whatever the cost!
By accepting the execution.
Because curiosity is an objective desire to know.
Sceptic is a derrogative term for curiosity,
The pursuit of truth!
It is precisely this truth that the one with the fragile ego cannot bear.
You are sceptical, you have no trust, you are not a philanthropist, you do not fit into this society. The term sceptical challenges you to defend yourself, speaks the preemptively guilty, to a confession, more precisely an admission, and otherwise you are threatened with the punishment of social contempt or even exclusion. This confession is obedience! Your own power of judgement is to be delegitimised - your independence!
You do not trust!
Then i cannot trust you either, for me that makes you dangerous therefore you are unfit for society.
But its the truth thats actually dangerous for society, precisely for the big small man.
May I sit with you?
That depends, do you want to hurt me?
No, don't you trust me?
Yes, that's why I ask and believe you.
But you're sceptical!
I'm not sceptical, I just want to be knowledgeable!

Skeptical Fundamentalism

Skeptical Fundamentalism is a variation of secular fundamentalism where secular fundamentalism is used in a way to doubt, mock and challenge religion, spirituality, esoterics, occultism, supernaturality and extraphysics using of atheism, scientism, materialism, physicalism and positivism for do so in a way that it always seek to put those as delusions, schizophrenia, psychosis and hallucinations and the things that skeptical fundamentalism supports as the absolute true of reality. Skeptical fundamentalism is often support by skeptical zealots, that are the evolution of atheist zealots, and it's really common inside secular fundamentalism and scientistic fundamentalism, besides often compared to religious fundamentalism.
"Skeptical fundamentalism is just really bad as secular fundamentalism and religious fundamentalism, the skeptical movement is majoritarian follower of skeptical fundamentalism and secular fundamentalism, it should change, but it only change with a massive groundwork showing why secular fundamentalism and skeptical fundamentalism are no different from religious fundamentalism."

Skeptically Absurd

When one is only skeptical of information that contradicts a preformed opinion and openly accepts any and all aligned information, regardless of legitimacy or source, and openly rejects contradictory information that cannot be proven to be true when judged against an ever-changing ad-hoc burden of proof

Skeptically Correct

The normative stance in skeptic communities where demanding extraordinary evidence, doubting everything outside a narrow scientific consensus, and aggressively debunking “pseudoscience” become mandatory performances of virtue. Being “skeptically correct” means reflexively rejecting claims about spirituality, alternative medicine, or anomalous experiences, and dismissing anyone who entertains them as gullible or irrational. It mimics political correctness by establishing a rigid orthodoxy—here, the orthodoxy of methodological naturalism and the authority of institutional science—and punishing deviation with ridicule and exclusion.
Example: “When she mentioned her meditation practice, he immediately declared it ‘unscientific’ and questioned her judgment. He wasn’t being skeptical; he was being skeptically correct, enforcing the community’s approved beliefs.”
