Somebody help me here?
>read only non-fiction
>books are either too general and lacking or specific and pedantic
>end up not learning enough for the time applied
How do I choose my history, sociology, philosophy, etc, books? Do I have to start with the greeks to understand the Middle-Upper paleolithic transition?:
Actually, start with the Greeks is not a bad idea. There's a reason it was the basis of all education for centuries.
Also, non-fiction is quite general. Mind being perhaps more specific ?

Wow.
Also, threads like these severely underestimate the mankind's existing knowledge and literature.

You need to read the specific works of (insert philosopher/historian/whatever) that were dedicated to specific topics (e.g Schopenhauers essay on women, not memeing, totally serious just giving an example).
