I find it... interesting... how you can make such statements with utmost conviction about topics that are fundamentally undemonstrably, but resort to the "I don't know" excuse for any topic where such an understanding is at least partially possible.

I'm still hoping that the previous engagements regarding your approach to conversation will lead to you learning something... but it seems to be an extremely long-term process.

You misunderstand.

There are lots of ways to be a skeptic. There is no single philosophical position. So, some skeptics may not have their own philosophy, but there's no way that claim can be said to apply to skeptics in general.

As usual, you misunderstand what you are trying to speak about.
