Reading. It started in elementary school. I loved reading biographies of leaders. The founders, Napoleon, Churchill, etc.
When I got to Jr. High I started watching Wm. F. Buckley's Firing Line and reading news mags like Newsweek, US News, National Review, etc.
In H.S. I got heavily into policy debates. Read a lot of stuff on justifications for military intervention, environmental programs, social programs, and economic policy.
In college I was introduced to libertarianism and started reading on it. Of course, this was all long before the Internet so I spent a lot of time in the library.
I still read a huge amount on a daily basis. IRL my friends know this and they use me as a reference source when something pops up that they are not familiar with.
IE, I'll get a phone call or email "Hey Zach, explain the fight over the Keystone Pipeline."
