    I love my philosophy training. one of my professors was a logician, who taught 2 separate courses on philosophy of science, and 3 logic courses culminating in one on epistemics. I feel like the single most prepared person in my life to deal with the modern media landscape, and practicing my skills each day keeps me sharp.

    I literally only consume right wing news. left wing news uses a lot of the same pedestrian rsophistry, but I hate beating up on people ostensibly on my team, or feeling like they’re the ones lying to me. I have no such compunction about Glenn Beck, mark Levin, or the chuds on YouTube, and so I never pull my punches and actually complete my analysis of their rhetoric (in my own head).
