I think I would crow about “critical thinking.” Too often Americans swallow what is fed to them in various media,
which is always summarized, usually “dumbed down” and even worse, can be outright biased. It’s disheartening to hear the level of caller discourse on C-Span Washington. The only way to know what you’re talking about is to study it, ask questions and synthesize all that. That’s putting the brain to good use — no weight gain, either!
