Session Proposals
The final schedule for SkeptiCamp NYC 2025 has not been finalized, yet. It should be published a week or two before the event. The Program Guide will follow some days after.
The following sessions have not, yet, been approved to be on the schedule. And, of course, they are subject to change, since they are merely proposals.

Buying Buying the Dip |

| |
When the market dips, investment advisors encourage their clients to "Buy the Dip!" But should they? Is "Buying the Dip" really sound advice, or is it fraught with misconceptions about the nature of the market? |

The Skeptical Lesson Hidden in K-Pop Demon Hunters That No One Is Talking About |
16 |
| |
I SEEEEEEEEEE... An excuse to put something about Netflix's popular K-Pop Demon Hunters movie into SkeptiCamp, as a desperate attempt to get more people to attend!
But, actually: There really is something worth talking about, in that movie... and its name is Dr. Han.
What can his scene tell us about the foibles of holistic "medicine", and more importantly: Will kids actually absorb those lessons? |

What on earth is skepticism, anyway? |

| |
Skepticism, these days, is a bad word. You say you are a skeptic and people think you don’t believe in anything; plus, you may be confused with so-called climate change or vaccine “skeptics.” Yet, skepticism has a long and fascinating history, going back to Pyrrho of Elis and the skeptical phase of Plato’s Academy in the 4th-1st centuries BCE. In this talk I’d like to make a case for what skepticism actually is and for why we should not follow misguided folks who think we should “rebrand” ourselves. Skeptics of the world, unite! |

Holistic Quantum Art Activation Expo Revisted |
1 |
| |
This year's Holistic Quantum Art Activation Expo was bigger and better with additional workshops on the tactics of fraudulent wellness peddlers and the impact of health mis/disinformation. With this year's experience, we ask ourselves is satire a valid form of education? |
