Curiosity and Skepticism

I like to learn about all sorts of things and chase down more knowledge with questions. I had an experience with a teacher that made me think about the topics/people I regarded with skepticism and those that I don’t. I am skeptical about human/social things like politics, but trusting of topics and people related to technical topics like math or programming. Explain how this experience with teacher made me interact differently with human/social topics or technical topics and how that enriched my life. Than not everything can be perfectly logical.
