Skepticism: What it Is, and What it Ain't

In this video I'm reacting to a sermon delivered by Jay Wegter as part of a series called Credible Christianity, presented by Highpoint Church in San Diego, CA, on March 14, 2018.

I sat down with Katy Montgomerie to talk about engaging with nobheads on Twitter, how intuition isn't knowledge, transphobia, mixed martial arts, bone density, bad arguments, the definitive Top Five Guitarists of All Time, the Dunning-Kruger effect (featuring both Dunning and Kruger), opposition to critical thinking, elitism, and being entitled to our opinions.

I wanted to share some thoughts on skepticism, clear up some misconceptions, and talk about where this channel is going. https://linktr.ee/KennethLeonard

I sat down with Jenna Belk to talk about active listening, the pope skateboarding, how liberating it can feel to be free from dogma, leading with questions, skeptical parenting, street epistemology, being wrong as a starting point for being right (or less wrong), Santa and the Tooth Fairy, the dangers of sharing things too quickly on social media, leading by example rather than teaching dogmatically, and how it's okay to make mistakes.
