When we give up our healthy skepticism about what we read and hear, we begin to enter the realm of faith. 

Much has been written about faith, especially religious faith. In a post-enlightenment world, faith has been, supposedly, relegated to the religion category but, as in ancient times, faith, superstition, and imagination continue to effect non-religious attitudes and thinking. Human nature.

Much of what we all believe is not Truth. Maybe most of it. Thus healthy skepticism. Not paranoia but cheerful skepticism.

Regarding Science and Scientism, few if any scientists are Scientism-ists.  Those in the hard sciences can be hard-nosed, but even they need grants and jobs and need to feed their families.

Science is broken.
