Sorry to be slowly replying to comments. I'm moving slowly at the moment.

I have mentioned this before but it's worth repeating because so few people understand the implications of it.

No one can be 'Informed' about 'Everything'.

(except for G-d maybe? Freewill becomes murky if you know all possible outcomes in advance. G-d then becomes "locked into" always choosing the optimal path. Where is G-d's choice then?)

The implication of that reality, is that we all have to develop an "exobrain".

A set of Informed People that we trust to provide guidance on topics we don/t understand. People who act as an "extended brain" that we can draw on.

This is a skill. Learning how to "use" experts and expert knowledge well is a critically important skill that is underappreciated.

It made me smile that you understand that being a reader isn't supposed to be a "free ride". You are considering who you want to make part of your exobrain. It's something that's worth careful consideration.

I am always flattered and honored when people tell me that I am a voice they listen to.

Thank you.
