Watch and read as much youtube and article as possible, and try to join a discussion with open mind.

I'd caveat that with watch reliable well researched channels and not pop-sci or even god forbid pseudoscientific, or pseudo-intellectual channels that seem helpful but are actually BS wrapped in foil.

Any of the PBS science channels are typically good for science.

How money works, Wendover, are great for Economics stuff.

The engineering mindset, practical engineering are great for engineering related stuff.

What would you say of History of the Universe and History of the Earth?

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

History of the Universe,

There's probably good stuff on SEA, Astrum, PBS Spacetime? even Cool Worlds. To a lesser extent perhaps even John Michael Godier or Isaac Arthur have lots of good information because even though they are Sci-fi channels, they do hard sci-fi, so all based on established science and astronomy.

History of the earth(geological),

PBS Eons, Sci Show, History of the Earth,

History of the earth, (anthropological) North 02
