Pyrrhonic Victory

Pyrrhonic Victory = play on Pyrrhic Victory. Pyrrhonism is an Ancient Greek school of philosophical skepticism which rejects dogma and advocates suspension of judgement. 

In current practice, too many regard scepticism as the rejection of information from vilified "out-groups". Confine instant dismissal to known sources of DISinformation and propagandistic lies. 

Equally, those who are emotionally attached to the rituals and promises associated with dogma tend towards and obdurate refusal to examine the source and content of dogma.

Currently enemies of the West seek to divide our societies and poison respect for those with genuine expertise. Be wary and avoid extreme positions.

How can one know that an article, body of religious beliefs, speech, or video are propagandistic? 1) Be wary of emotional language; 2) Check facts and sources; 3) If the material is important, seek alternate arguments to the dubious material.
