My takeaway from this is not really to read less per se but to be more mindful of what I read and what content I consume. Feel like a lot of what I read, while obviously prone to biases like you said, is way better than TikTok or whatever else I’d be doing instead
I agree with Maya in this respect: a person retains their feelings about someone longer than what that other person said or did. Not sure she meant that one person is necessarily responsible for how another feels, just that actions and attitudes do engender feelings in other people, which feelings persist.
“Conscientiousness” is the meaning that screamed at me while reading your post. Thanks for giving ingredients to critical thinking.

I got to fully appreciate the importance of critical thinking when I took an Introduction to Law class back in high school. Many heated debates were held, and it was often the teacher who caused the stirring.
However, he never did this intentionally and always stated that the main cause of it was to view from the other "perspective".
He was an incredible teacher and I am so glad he taught the importance of critical thinking before I even knew what it was. I felt nostalgic today as I read this article and would just like to thank you for the important lesson and happy memories :)

I question whether a Brita really filters water. Everything icky is caught in the filter?

My mother in law told me, "no one can make you feel anything".
Maya wants you, us, to speak in a tone that won't upset anyone. That way they feel safe. I don't want to feel safe. I want to learn.
Yes, intentions matter. To get attention. But your own experiences and knowledge determine your feelings. No one else does.
