There's too much knowledge in the world. I always feel like a plan in one subject or another. What books would you recommend in order to know something about everything?
>>
>>9031879
Encyclopedia for Dummies
>>
On Nature by Parmenides (a poem not a book)
Classical Electrodynamics by John David Jackson
If you've read those, you know almost everything there is to know.

No. Books are great things, but in the modern day they are almost completely obsolete when it comes to the pursuit of general knowledge.

Wikipedia is the ultimate knowledge bank. To not use it and claim you are in search of knowledge is laughable folly. It has an article on literally everything, which will usually be well sourced and regularly curated. On top of that, the interconnectivity between articles means that your intellectual journey is never halted by an encounter with an unfamiliar word or concept. You merely open the unfamiliar concept up in new tab and keep on learning.

Seriously OP, its the ideal form of knowledge gathering. Give it a go, and you'll be surprised how quickly you're hooked. Save the books for beautiful prose and interesting stories.

You do know that, if you want to edit an article, you 1) need to be registered, 2) need to cite a source, 3) it must be accepted by moderators?

Wiki is quite safe.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
