Luka Yovetich sent me a link to “this article in the Washington Post”:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/30/AR2005063001743.html about the costs of scepticism. The defendent was asked whether he would commit more crimes if he was released, and (to paraphrase) he said that he didn’t know because he didn’t have an answer to global scepticism. As they say on the interwebs, read the whole thing. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll recognise behaviour that previously you’d only seen in philosophical colleagues, etc.
