guys, I didn't mean to imply that all you need to do is learn some math and take some magic class that will teach you all there is to know about the world. Its just that these are some reasonable options for me to consider right now considering that I'm at a university, am mostly busy, but want to spend some free time pursuing the vague goal of "understanding the world better."

I think its pretty clear that to know the world in a useful way, I should get a job, get out of college, meet people, travel, and so forth. These things just aren't really options at this very moment.
