Ask HN: Studying for breadth

3 pointssolveit2 comments

How have you gone about studying a wide range of subjects?

The main objective is to become conversant in any chosen subjects to the level where I would be able to ask sensible questions to experts and they would be able to give meaningful answers that I can understand.

A side objective, this being HN, is that this will make me better at spotting and evaluating entrepreneurial opportunities.

If you are into studying textbooks, I recommend you take a look at the following article at LessWrong: The Best Textbooks on Every Subject - https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xg3hXCYQPJkwHyik2/the-best-t...

Also learn about generative design, it will help you get a feeling on what is a searchspace.
