Weird Science Mates Itself

One of the odder characteristics
Of humans you might term hyperskeptics

Is the remarkable intensity
Of their drive to create communities.

You might think that any contrarian
Would bolt from the communitarian,

Yet, virulent as are their arguments,
Skeptics seem bound by some integument,

Like single-celled organisms that can
Live freely but that congregate in dense,

Iridescent reproductive structures,
Viscous slime loves, cultures grown in culture,

But not to reproduce their single cells,
Only to culture more culture itself.
