Reading material is simply reading material. What you take from it is up to you. The wider and deeper you read, the more things come together. It's not like any one person has the answers, but we're all seeking answers. It's better to have read something and dismiss what doesn't resonate with you rather than to just dismiss things out of hand.

This used to be true, a century or three ago. These days, somebody who reads every book published will end up more stupid than somebody who has read no books.

Ah, the power of discernment and critical thinking. Traits to be nourished

Prince was a well-read man; he read lots of books, but that doesn't mean he worshipped what he read. He kept an open mind about all things. And, if he thought you were some nut or didn't agree with you, he would say it, LOL
