Will consuming popular science on topics that I don't have much knowledge about harm my critical thinking skills?

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 8 02:45:41 2022 No.15038478 It'll only expose weaknesses which were already there

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 8 06:22:44 2022 No.15038893 >>15038424 It won't hurt your thinking skills, but it certainly won't help. It's all very surface level knowledge that doesn't require you to really think about it.
