Great comment, thanks for taking the time to write that out. I think for a lot of people they look to books or other things to tell them what to think. Other people (like you it sounds like) look to books to share a story or a perspective or an idea and that engaging with the idea doesn't imply endorsing it. Also, everyone wants to think that they would be the brave resistance fighter when in fact most of us don't "choose" sides in any meaningful sense and just go along with the status quo. I think seeing these really smart and progressive (for their time) people and what their blind spots were despite their brilliance can help me look inwards and see where I might be a "man of my time" and missing something later generations will judge me for
