How do i get myself to read things properly instead of jumping the gun?

By jumping I mean trying to understand what's being said and not jumping the gun everytime people say or write things that I know little or know nothing about. I just want to learn how to do it.

Is there some sort of skill of doing it?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    You don’t always have to immediately respond. I’m normally very quick witted. But on serious topics, I prefer to remove myself and analyze it before speaking.

    It takes a lot of work in today's polarized clickbait algorithm media world. You have to read a lot about a story from all sides and understand pure journalism without spin is almost impossible to find.

    Inundate your self with as much
    information as possible and always ask yourself what the source might be wanting you to hear, and then filter that out.

    Also, be strong once you have solid convictions, but don't be so strong in that you can't be challenged if/when healthy arguments that dissagree with your beliefs are presented upon you.

    Admit you dont know everything and just say "with the info I got it seems like this. But I could be wrong."
