The truth of skepticism would be depressing and impractical. Our beliefs would be groundless, we would know nothing (or almost nothing) about the world around us, and epistemic success would likely be impossible. But do these negative consequences have any bearing on the truth of skepticism? According to many scholars, they do not. The impractical consequences of skepticism are typically regarded as orthogonal to its truth. For this reason, pragmatic resolutions to skepticism are regularly dismissed. I will argue, however, that skepticism is implausible because it is impractical. In particular, skepticism is implausible because it goes against the point of epistemic evaluation.

怀疑主义：不切实际，因此难以置信

怀疑主义的真相令人沮丧且不切实际。我们的信念将是毫无根据的，我们对周围的世界一无所知（或几乎一无所知），而认知上的成功将是不可能的。但是，这些负面后果与怀疑主义的真相有关系吗？根据许多学者的说法，他们并非如此。怀疑主义的不切实际的后果通常被认为与它的真理正交。由于这个原因，对怀疑主义的务实决议经常被驳回。但是，我将论证怀疑主义是不切实际的，因为这是不切实际的。尤其是，怀疑主义是不可信的，因为它与认知评估的观点背道而驰。
