How do you deal with overchoice in self-studying? There's many subjects I want to learn before my brain crystalizes- on the other hand, I want to learn the right ones, so I end up learning nothing.

you can't rationally choose, you basically flip a coin and go with the flow

No such thing.

Yes, I know it's folly- which is why I ask how to overcome it.

Simple, listen to Peter Thiel, go on youtube and look up everything he's talked about regarding goals/education.
>Have a clear goal, the finish line
>From there start at the beginning
That's it, otherwise you just drift aimlessly around

You can't go wrong with the fundamentals. Calculus, classical mechanics, and thermodynamics. The rest is just extensions of these. I'm talking about physics/engineering of course.

I'm more of a CS student, so I'm dealing more so with cryptography, abstract algebra, programming languages, computability theory, etc, although I've studied what you mentioned through already.
Sincerest apologies.

You know in your heart which subject you prefer. You always have a favorite subject. And within that subject, a favorite area.

Start with analytic metaphysics, go into logic and proofs then go into math then physics. Start with the most universal subjects then choose less universal ones

I found it much harder to learn new subjects until I got into my mid 20s. Now I'm a borderline polymath. I think there's something wrong with me.
