How to be a critical thinker:
1. Be 10% more skeptical of people you agree with—and 10% more charitable to those you disagree with
2. Find flaws in ideas you like—and strengths in views you dislike
3. Discount sources that peddle one narrative—and learn from those that explore competing ideas

For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts.
Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky don’t be ambivalent

Not interrupted by ads that get in the way of what I’m try to see.
No algorithms inhibiting my exploration.

Currently Reading: The Nightingale by Kristin Hanna. I've never read a book with such urgency. I feel like there's a lot to learn about the French Resistance, perhaps things I should have learned years ago, but now is as good of time as any. #TheNightingale
