Hey /wsr/, I'm not a very knowledgeable person and I'd like to fix that. I had to drop out of HS my education is really only at a middle school level sadly.
Could any of you rec me some good textbooks, ebooks, videos, etc to just teach me shit? I mostly want to learn mathmatics, politics, philosophy, and history but I'm fine with learning anything new.

Community college so you can actually get your GED to prove you're at least worth something in this world. Although, that might be costly if you don't qualify for financial aid.

Got my GED lad.
If you want to learn history this will prove an invaluable resource: http://legacy.fordham.edu/halsall/
It's a massive collection of public domain historical documents going back literally thousands of years. These are primary and secondary sources, they will give you far, far more knowledge than any textbook.
For a wider array of topics, see: https://www.gutenberg.org/
You can find books on philosophy and politics here in addition to history.
For math, if you're up to calculus I'd recommend using MIT's free and open courseware: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/
Basically what they do is post entire courses from previous years online, fully recorded lectures and everything taught in the class for people to use themselves. Calculus is what MIT considers entry level though, if you're not up to that then you'll have to look elsewhere.

here's a copy/paste from /fit/ (from all places)
try also ted talks (for example the one by bill gates, or the one about the history of computers, or the one called "theory of everything", ken robinson has made some really good ones, etc)
