Skepticism is the philosophical position that holds that knowledge claims — particularly those about the external world, God, morality, or the past — require scrutiny, and that many claims commonly accepted as knowledge fail to meet the standards that genuine knowledge demands.

The Freethinking Times runs on direct reader contributions and the unpaid time of its contributors, not advertising or platform deals. Reader tips go either to the publication’s operating costs (hosting, public-records fees, the occasional travel for reporting) or, when sent through an author’s individual link, directly to that writer. We take no money from advertisers, sponsors, partner networks, or syndication platforms.
