My aunt, a history buff later turned history professor, was very into the Classics form of education. Granted hers idea was very St. Augustine centric as a devout Catholic. None of her kids took an interest in academics at all. I’m her only nephew and she has no nieces. When I was little, she’d bring me books, teach me things from the classes she was giving, and took me to museums. I learned a lot from that time. On top of that, my parents tended to not limit what I could read or even try to steer it. They just took me to the library and let me choose things. I don’t think I’m much of an expert on those topics but I’ve read a lot across a lot of topics. I know enough to smell bullshit and enough to avoid spouting it.
