Sextus Empiricus(the source being cited for information about Stoic signs): An ancient Greek philosopher (around 200 CE) who documented skeptical arguments and different philosophical schools' ideas in his writings.
Skeptic/Skepticism(epistemology): In philosophy, a skeptic is someone who argues we can't really know anything for certain because there's always some possibility we could be wrong.
Suspend judgment(as used in epistemology): Intentionally hold back from making a decision or conclusion about something, staying open-minded instead of committing to a belief right away.
