Hi, everyone. I was thinking about writing some articles about various issues regarding skepticism and related issues. I had a critical thinking course when I was 13 and enjoyed it. (Yes, I was one of those kids.)
I’d like to expand upon concepts such as pareidolia, apophenia, and so on. I’ve always enjoyed logic, so that’s on my list.
Hope to have fun and learn more!

@iamwhoisnt, thanks for the kind words. I’ve decided to delay my writing for a bit. I had about 3 or 4 Dude- and Dudeist-related books planned. However I’m not 100% sure what constitutes as Dudeist writing. So maybe I’ll get back to them, maybe not.
@tchills Thanks for that. I’ll look into it!

I have been doing some reasoning about this Solar energy thing. Isn’t Solar energy just Nuclear Energy but far away so it’s like all safe man? If that being true, let’s just use Nuclear Energy funding for Solar Energy solution companies (it’s just nuclear energy from far away) and get further away from all this harsh oil type consumption going on.

One of my favorite podcasts is Skeptics Guide to the Universe which blends the hosts love of science and science fiction with skepticism. Hoping this community can blend love with skepticism.

Here’s a list of enjoyable (well, ones I enjoy, anyway. YMMV, of course) podcasts with an emphasis on skepticism, rationality, science, and current events. Hardly exhaustive, but lots of good listening with good track records of accuracy and owning mistakes.
Sceptoid
The Friendly Atheist
The Scathing Atheist
Science Faction
Oh No! With Ross & Carrie

Hi, good to hear that someone is writing something new and amazing. Please continue your good work and we shall learn more from you about pareidolia and apophenia. For me, this topic is a very fresh and zero knowledge on it. Hence, I am ready to learn it from you. Thank you. Besides, if you do interested in critical thinking, do join the MOOC of some universities in which the lecturer explained in details about how critical thinking function in our typical day.
