There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.

Calvin: Look, a dead bird!
Hobbes: It must've hit a window.
Calvin: Isn't it beautiful? It's so delicate. Sighhh... once it's too late, you appreciate what a miracle life is. You realize that nature is ruthless and our existence is very fragile, temporary, and precious. But to go on with your daily affairs, you can't really think about that...which is probably why everyone takes the world for granted and why we act so thoughtlessly. It's very confusing. I suppose it will all make sense when we grow up.
Hobbes: No doubt.

I would personally substitute 'certainty' for 'belief' here:

"...I regard belief as a form of brain damage..."

but otherwise ,I agree....

Dogmatism and Scepticism are both,in a sense,absolute philosophies,one is certain of knowing,the other of not knowing.What Philosophy should dissipate is certainty,whether of knowledge or ignorance.
