Bigfoot skepticism is like debating the merits of pineapple on pizza while the world burns around us. John Horgan thinks skeptics should tackle “real” issues instead of chasing shadows in the woods. But let’s be honest, if confronting homeopathy feels too mundane, who wouldn’t want to hunt for an elusive creature with a penchant for hiding? After all, nothing says “serious skeptic” like dismissing folklore while sipping overpriced herbal tea, right? Let’s not forget, the latest gossip is that Bigfoot is now a ghost—because why not add spectral drama to the mix?

Keep chasing those “soft targets,” skeptics. You might just find the truth hiding behind the next tree—or, you know, the nearest conspiracy theory.
