Building general knowledge is a process of gradually constructing a network of knowledge from individual points. The goal is to establish your own logical knowledge base for explaining and solving problems. The reliability of information sources and the quantity of permanently memorized knowledge points are key to this process.
General Process
*Tools are for reference only and will be updated periodically. Currently focused mainly on natural sciences due to limitations in social sciences.
Stages of Development
- Beginner Stage: Prepares common sense foundations, low difficulty, easily acceptable, transforms interest into habit.
- Elementary Stage: Aims to understand processed knowledge, increased difficulty requiring adaptation. Ready to advance when comfortable understanding with personal learning methods.
- Advanced Stage: Focuses on understanding compiled and integrated knowledge, high difficulty. Progress when comfortable comprehending with personal learning methods.
- Proficient Stage: Aims to solve problems using fragmentary knowledge. Strong information gathering abilities are fundamental. Self-improvement until natural progression.
- Master Stage: Capable of organizing, categorizing, and summarizing existing knowledge, establishing personal databases (physical, digital, or conceptual), skillfully using all previous stage content, understanding taxonomy.
Tools for Different Stages
Beginner Tools: Popular science websites, educational platforms, basic knowledge forums
Elementary Tools: Science museums, futuristic thinking channels, design appreciation platforms
Advanced Tools: In-depth educational content, mathematical visualization, academic resources
Proficient Tools: Advanced search engines, deep web access, comprehensive computer literacy
Master Tools: Taxonomy, semiotics, efficient search techniques, index systems
