Thank you We sneak in in his your shmoop du

00:04

jour brought to you by truth we hear there's a

00:07

zen master currently trying to find it in one of

00:10

the four sacred mountains But first he should probably just

00:13

worry about finding his other sandal What was that are

00:16

checking the following passage just long so we're going to

00:19

skim and pretend that we're really focused I mean really

00:22

focus on this Yeah No Okay we're done Which of

01:00

the following statements best summarizes paragraph three and here the

01:05

potential answers All right skeptic that's just okay well let's

01:09

check out this paragraph and see what's up in a

01:11

nutshell The other is saying that when it comes to

01:14

reaching conclusions science sets that common sense standard because science

01:19

needs proved to be considered truth Well first argument in

01:23

this paragraph is that skeptics who relied purely on common

01:26

sense rather than evidence based science are in for a

01:29

rocky road a different kind of rocky road there's no

01:32

mention that common sense is always right In fact sometimes

01:35

common sense is very wrong so toss out seat scientists

01:39

may be smart but they could do some pretty crazy

01:41

stuff in pursuit of knowledge Remember frankenstein Ironically scientists research

01:46

often means engaging in some dangerous activity that would be

01:49

common sense for us common folk to avoid I'll get

01:53

rid of deep skepticism refers to people who only rely

01:56

on what they believe to be common sense rather than

01:58

acknowledging research based science like a friend's questionable decision even

02:03

though there was a ton of evidence to suggest it's

02:05

a bad idea like that And according to the passage

02:09

scientific principle should be used to support making decisions not

02:12

just approve A decision is right which means a and

02:15

beacons to be thrown out leaving us with answer E

02:17

thanks to our tattooed friend here who shows that big

02:20

decisions in life on which men stake their all are

02:24

not to be taken lightly And since scientific principle insures

02:27

that fax air used rather than assumptions they're a better

02:30

bet than just relying on common sense Well scientific principle

02:34

may sound complex but it gets easier the longer you 00:02:37.873 --> [endTime] meditate on it
