The business of scepticism is to be dangerous. Scepticism challenges established institutions. If we teach everybody, includ- ing, say, high school students, habits of sceptical thought, they will probably not restrict their scepticism to UFOs, aspirin commer- cials and 35,000-year-old channellees. Maybe theyll start asking awkward questions about economic, or social, or political, or religious institutions. Perhaps theyll challenge the opinions of those in power. Then where would we be?
