Is logical thought teachable though? You can read all the books, but if you can't correlate the information, does it matter? And I should say it that way, but more along the lines of two people can read the same set of literature and come to two different conclusions, and somehow we determine one of those conclusions to be right.
I should definitely think so. I would that history would show that, as well. Ideas and suspicion/critical thinking seem like they can possibly be inherent, but they could definitely use some help/a boost in some individuals where it seems to lie dormant. 😅 And the earlier in life we awaken these abstract ideas and thoughts that not everything you see and hear is truth, the more natural it will become. Just like anything else you want to teach your children. And teaching people to teach themselves is one thing I think is omitted in school. Actively practicing and explicitly focusing on how to effectively teach yourself something. Studying Study Techniques. It's an important skill.
