Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Nothing lulls the mind to sleep like doubt, the speaker claims. Skepticism is cast as a kind of drug: by questioning everything and committing to nothing, it dulls restlessness and effort, leaving the sceptic comfortably numb. It is a pointed, critical view of doubt as an escape.
