On the whole i would say i am an open-minded hardcore skeptic, and that unless something is proven fairly conclusively to me, i tend to think of it as occupying a state of possible truth, not dismissing it, but going with a general trend of evidence one way or the other. But i tend to operate on a "prove it objectively, or hush" policy when it comes to important, practical things like medicine, or making important decisions based off superstition.

I no longer believe in God, having been extremely religious in the past, but i came to realise that even though i believed my faith was reinforced by science (my religion having a rich history of brilliant scientists kinda helped), there was no objective reason to believe in it, and ultimately i grew into an entirely materialistic worldview, which i am actually comfortable with these days.

I've been told that up to 50% of what we learn in medicine is flawed, you just have to wait 20 years to find out which 50%, but that is part of the beauty of science, that it is constantly adapting to new evidence.

Slightly off topic pro-science rant
