i'm a huge fan of journaling and note-taking; they have been some of the most reliable tools for furthering my understanding of myself and of the world. in conjunction with my love for reading, the satisfaction i get from writing a comprehensive & nuanced piece on a particular subject is irreplaceable.
as a proponent of open-source knowledge, i implore you to do your own research and take the wheel in your own education - and to not rely on strangers on the internet to give you food for thought and do the dishes for you!
