What we’re about
The mission of Triangle Skeptics is to promote science literacy, critical thinking, and media literacy as tools for advancing knowledge and decision making.
A skeptic is one who prefers beliefs and conclusions that are reliable and valid to ones that are comforting or convenient, and therefore rigorously and openly applies the methods of science and reason to all empirical claims, especially their own. A skeptic provisionally proportions acceptance of any claim to valid logic and a fair and thorough assessment of available evidence, and studies the pitfalls of human reason and the mechanisms of deception so as to avoid being deceived by others or themselves. Skepticism values method over any particular conclusion.

How we go about it
| SkeptiCamp | Skeptics in the Pub |
| Save the date and plan to join the inaugural Triangle SkeptiCamp, to be held on 25 May 2024. The main conference will take place at the community center of John Chavis Memorial Park in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. | Held on the third Wednesday of each month, these events implement the internationally-popular SitP format – one part featured lecture, one part social gathering, zero parts pretense. |
| Culture Club | Public Service Campaigns |
| The fourth Wednesday of the month finds us gathered to discuss a cultural work of some description. Often it’s a book, but it could also be a film or a long-form essay. | Organized skepticism aims to bring the critical-thinking and media-literacy toolbox to society and public policy. Learn more about work we’re doing out in the world. |
