it just takes familiarity. In grad school we had a checklist on what to look for when reading. turned it from a slog to a scavenger hunt.

I can’t remember the exact list but it was something like: what’s the title, what’s the purpose, what’s the question, what’s the prior research, what’s the methodology, what’s the data, what’s the conclusion, and then finally what’s the abstract. or something, idk, I’ll try to find it but I don’t know you jefe

Echo chambers aren’t as prevalent or as problematic as you think. The biggest echo chamber is actually most likely your own neighborhood. The internet, even small communities, is where you’re most likely exposed to diverse viewpoints. Shit, just yesterday I saw someone saying they were hurt by how we talked about Slavs. Where the heck am I gonna see that in Maryland?
