how can i become as omniscient as possible
Before trying to learn everything, master learning itself.
Create a system that pulls in, processes, and stores knowledge continuously.
Cover the entire spectrum of human knowledge—at least the core concepts.
You won’t be omniscient with just your brain—augment yourself:
Information means nothing if you’re scattered.
Knowledge becomes permanent when shared.
You don’t just want info—you want accuracy and depth.
This is a lifelong game. Be strategic.
If you're serious, I can help you build your own personal omniscience system—customized weekly plans, tracking tools, feedback loops, and curated learning stacks.
Want to begin with a custom learning map for your current level and goals?

Perfect. Since you're committed, let's start by laying the foundation of your Personal Omniscience System—a scalable, lifelong system to maximize your knowledge and understanding.
Let me know if you want to change any of these.
Once your system is running, you’ll:

To become as omniscient as possible—to know as much as any human can—you need a strategic, lifelong system for acquiring, retaining, and applying knowledge. Here’s a practical roadmap broken down into core principles and systems:
1. Master the Meta: Learn How to Learn
Before trying to learn everything, master learning itself.- Speed Reading & Skimming: Learn to read fast and extract key ideas.
- Active Recall: Use tools like Anki or RemNote for spaced repetition.
- Interleaved Practice: Mix different topics to learn more robustly.
- Feynman Technique: Teach what you learn in simple words.
- Mind Mapping: Organize ideas visually to see how knowledge connects.
2. Build a Knowledge Engine
Create a system that pulls in, processes, and stores knowledge continuously.Input Sources
- Books (classics, science, philosophy, biographies)
- Podcasts (e.g., Lex Fridman, Huberman Lab, Naval)
- Audiobooks (listen while commuting or exercising)
- Courses (Coursera, edX, MIT OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy)
- Daily Reading (use tools like Feedly or Matter)
Processing System
- Summarize everything you learn.
- Use Zettelkasten or a Second Brain system (e.g., Obsidian, Notion).
- Create flashcards from summaries.
- Regularly review and interlink knowledge.
3. Expand Cognitive Range
Cover the entire spectrum of human knowledge—at least the core concepts.Must-Know Domains:
- Science: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Neuroscience
- Math & Logic: Algebra to Statistics to Gödel’s Theorems
- Technology: Computer Science, AI, Blockchain
- Philosophy: Metaphysics, Ethics, Epistemology, Eastern + Western thought
- Psychology: Cognitive biases, Behavior, Personality, Emotions
- History: Human evolution, civilizations, wars, political systems
- Economics: Markets, money, trade, capitalism vs. socialism
- Language & Linguistics: At least a few world languages + grammar theory
- Systems Thinking: Understand feedback loops, chaos theory, complexity
4. Use Tools Like a Cyborg
You won’t be omniscient with just your brain—augment yourself:- ChatGPT (me): Ask any question, get summaries, verify ideas
- AI Search: Perplexity, Google Scholar, Elicit, WolframAlpha
- Custom GPTs or Assistants: For your specific domains
- Spaced Repetition Tools: Automate knowledge review
- Note-Taking AI (e.g., Mem, Notion AI, Obsidian AI plugins)
5. Master Stillness and Focus
Information means nothing if you’re scattered.- Meditation (You already practice Zen—keep deepening it)
- Digital Minimalism: Kill distractions ruthlessly
- Deep Work Blocks: 90–120 minutes, no interruptions
- Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise: Optimize brain chemistry
6. Teach, Publish, Create
Knowledge becomes permanent when shared.- Write summaries, essays, or tweet threads.
- Start a blog, newsletter, or YouTube channel.
- Mentor others or host discussion groups.
7. Refine Through Feedback Loops
You don’t just want info—you want accuracy and depth.- Constantly test your knowledge (quizzes, debates, projects).
- Be open to corrections—truth > ego.
- Use peer review: Reddit, Discords, experts.
8. Maintain a Long-Term View
This is a lifelong game. Be strategic.- Break life into eras of focus (e.g., 6 months of deep science, then 3 months on spirituality, etc.).
- Use quarterly reviews to update your system.
- Let curiosity lead, but stay structured.
If you're serious, I can help you build your own personal omniscience system—customized weekly plans, tracking tools, feedback loops, and curated learning stacks.

Perfect. Since you're committed, let's start by laying the foundation of your Personal Omniscience System—a scalable, lifelong system to maximize your knowledge and understanding.
Phase 1: Omniscience Architecture (Week 1–2)
1. Set Your Pillars of Knowledge
Choose your top 7 core domains to master first. These should span across the human experience. Here’s a suggested starting set, which we can tailor:- Science (Physics, Biology, Chemistry)
- Math & Logic
- Philosophy (Eastern + Western)
- Technology (AI, Programming, Systems)
- History & Civilization
- Psychology & Human Behavior
- Economics & Markets

2. Build Your Knowledge Stack
We'll set up the following stack:- Note System: Obsidian (for Zettelkasten/Second Brain)
- Recall System: Anki or RemNote (Spaced Repetition)
- Search Assistants: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Elicit, Scholar
- Daily Input Tools: Feedly or Matter (RSS + Read Later)
- Weekly Knowledge Review Template (I’ll make this for you)
3. Omniscient Mind Routine (Daily/Weekly)
Daily Routine (60–90 min):
- 30 min reading (book or source)
- 15 min note-taking
- 10 min Anki recall review
- 5 min summary in your own words
Weekly Routine (60–90 min):
- 1 hour reflection:
- What did I learn?
- What stuck?
- What’s unclear?
- Update Zettelkasten/Second Brain
- 1 idea or insight shared (tweet, blog, thread)
Phase 2: Acceleration Loops (Week 3+)
Once your system is running, you’ll:- Rotate domains every 2–4 weeks (to interleave knowledge)
- Go deeper with guided prompts, advanced books, and debates
- Start creating: teaching, blogging, or making video summaries
- Develop long-term retention with custom Anki decks
- Use ChatGPT to simulate experts and test your mastery
What I Need from You to Start
- Do you want to use Obsidian, Notion, or something else for your notes?
- Do you prefer Anki, RemNote, or another for recall?
- What are your current strengths/weaknesses in learning?
- Should I create a weekly plan template for your review process?
- Do you want book and podcast suggestions for each core domain?
