"Those who claim for themselves to judge the truth are bound to possess a criterion of truth. This criterion, then, either is without a judge's approval or has been approved. But if it is without approval, whence comes it that it is truthworthy? For no matter of dispute is to be trusted without judging. And, if it has been approved, that which approves it, in turn, either has been approved or has not been approved, and so on ad infinitum."
-Sextus Empiricus
This is an informative video about Marcus Agrippa and Sextus Empiricus on the nature of their skeptical arguments. The video was made using Xtranormal, which can be a hilarious medium for communicating anything. You should check it out sometime if you haven't before. Anyway, here's the video:
