This is wonderful. Thank you so much. Isn't skepticism another kind of faith and irony a kind of religious practice?

That’s a wonderful way of putting it, Tony—irony as religious practice.

I do think skepticism is my faith, yes, if that doesn’t sound self-undermining. Yes, come to think of it, there’s something touchingly trusting about my belief that science will get me to some kind of nirvana of understanding. It’s worked so far, so yeah.
