“The constructive skeptic is a stoical optimist who has the capacity to laugh at failures and disappointments… The constructive skeptic is also critically aware of authority, in a world in which one is increasingly dependent on experts and specialists rather than direct personal experience and thinking for oneself (perhaps real personal experience is becoming obsolete).”
