Skepticism

Many people treat this as a bad word but in my opinion it is not. Think about it. Being skeptic about something means questioning some knowledge.
Now don’t get me wrong i know there are people who take this too far and question everything to the point where they don’t want to understand and just want to argue.

In my opinion being skeptical means asking the right questions. Questions like, Am I intellectually lazy? Neil deGrasse Tyson says skepticism is the path of inquiry to what is true.
Carl Sagan once said extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

You have to question what you are unsure of but also recognise when valid evidence is presented to you to eventually change your mind. A great example would be when you were a child and maybe you questioned why your parents would not allow you to drink as much soda as you wanted and as you actually got older, you realised, after acquiring certain information, the health risks involved in taking such large amounts of sugar.

When the results of something stay consistent, it is known as an objective truth. In this present age of overflowing information, it would be wise to question and find out objective truths of things you are involved in or things you are potentially interested in.

Be a skeptic and keep learning.
