An old essay, but new for me, from William Upski Wimsatt, about how to learn:
Here’s my curriculum: Live in a different city every year. Attend a
different place of worship every week. Seek out hundreds of mentors to help
me find answers to my thousands of questions. Spend the rest of the time in
the library and on the Internet. Create lists, make charts, and undertake
the most ambitious projects I can think of. Create my own personal bible,
almanac, and telephone book. Live in the poorest neighborhoods in order to
learn how to get along in the world and to save money, so I can travel to a
different continent each year.
