Easy points to start with. Generally, keeping a neutral view on something new, and striving to maintain a trust but verify attitude is your absolute best bet. The more you understand global politics, especially current agendas of various nations, political groups, etc. can help to discern one bias or another. In general, giving yourself room and time to properly process any information you encounter, and especially destress yourself, makes a huge difference.

Writing takes a HELL of a long time to start getting good, usually a million words or so, and that’s not guaranteed success. Physics, as others have mentioned takes mathematics to a high level, have you looked at other aspects of sciences and math if you at least enjoy it?
If you’d like to get some career guidance, I do alot of training and mentorship pro-bono, drop me a message might be able to help a little.

- Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything? 13 hours ago:
Lots of great reccomendations here, highly reccomend looking into a sleep study or rework schedule like other folks are reccomending. Aside from that keeping a regimented schedule is always helpful, especially with reducing screen and bright light use near periods of rest.
Besides physiological stuff, reducing stress helps, learning what helps you personally sleep and wake up better and integrating that into you habits can help tons. I’ve found being able to even spend a short few minutes to properly reflect on the day can help change my mindset makes a difference.
