he used to be on late night tv, now we have the kardashians, society is doomed, doomed i say!

Late night TV is a very nostalgic thing, but hasn't been RELEVANT in years. I'm glad edutainment has found FAR BETTER platforms.

I thought it was two wolves...

Unless you're lazy, ignorant or Biased, then the field of Science becomes a 'Cherry Picking' orchard...

Not to be confused with just rejecting everything. That's as uncritical as accepting everything.

Right - in order to be genuinely skeptical, you have to curious AS WELL AS doubtful.
