Quotes: When Skepticism Becomes Irresponsible
Doubt is the lifeblood of the academy... Yet there is also a point at which such skepticism becomes pathological and irresponsible. -- Times Higher Education "Smoke And Mirrors" via Arts & Letters Daily
What the second sentence in this quote refers to is fake skepticism that happens to benefit the powerful, such as climate change denial.
Just in case anyone might have thought it indicated a message of "don't question the powerful."
