Phil has an interesting introduction of himself on the BA homepage.

He writes:

"I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I like reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way."


I was wondering if Phil or someone else would explain this to me as I have some question.

What is the way reality is?


Is keeping it that way a philosophically and scientifically acceptable mindset for the advancement of knowledge?

Does skepticism violate its own tenants when it creates a reality and refuses to view it skeptically?

Just curious.
