Triangle SkeptiCamp 2024 was Amazing. Were You There?
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
| Skeptics in the Pub | Culture Club |
| 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 | 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. |
| SkeptiCamp | Public Service Campaigns |
| We’re the organizers of Triangle SkeptiCamp, first held on 25 May 2024 at the community center of John Chavis Memorial Park in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. | Organized skepticism aims to bring the critical-thinking and media-literacy toolbox to society and public policy.
