Your journey to learn all you can about a topic that interests you is fascinating. I sent this to a MAGA friend who consistently shares misinformation, so I hope it helps him be more discriminating in the way he responds to hot-button topics. You are fortunate your mother encouraged your curiosity.

I am indeed very fortunate that my parents and grandparents encouraged my curiosity. How many parents had a stack of Scientific American magazines for a kid to find? I think the way I approach new information is common among people in certain professions, but it isn't taught to a wide enough swathe of people. I hope your MAGA friend will be nudged by this post. Unlikely to happen, but I have hope.
