KNOWLEDGE IS NOT THE KEY

In the scheme of things, wonder as it turns out, is more significant than mere knowledge.

The days fast approach wherein erudition will only be discernible through an author’s logic, deductive critical path, novel evidence, and forbidden heterodox thought – setting them apart from the ChatGPT zombie and its flawless grammar, punctuation, and prepackaged information.

One will observe that to the Large Language Model parrot, all discovery is confined to the past and not of your privy, leaving little room for the serendipity of anything truly novel. Every unknown will be framed as merely an insignificant linear gap within the intolerance and awesome insistence of its science identity.

This evolution will place the über-correct science communicator and academic skeptic permanently out of a job.

Value will reside in one’s ability to think independently, heed the whispers in one’s soul, discern the salient challenge or question at hand, stratify evidence by its probative strength first, and hone skill in devising a pathway to its successful resolution.

Such will be known as Ethical Skepticism.
