Before 30? Nay, before one is 16 one should get as familiar as possible with the principles of valid argument (informal logic). For a start, see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informal_logic

Keep on reading.

Cheers,

Plato before 16!smiley - laugh
i'z busy dropping out when I was that age!smiley - erm

Plato's dialogues of Socrates, however, did have a resounding effect on my thinking when I was about 25. I went to the local community college and got a valueable education. Not a degree, but i was on the dean's list.

Anyway, sorry if i missed your point. I didnt follow the links, just saw plato and had to comment.
