A guide to constructive skepticism
In a world where so many look to leverage our inherent and necessary skepticism is too often weaponized and monetized in the form of conspiracy theories, this is guiding light on how to not simply believe information regardless of sources, but to apply critical thought to validate or invalidate important information or opinions.
