Alright, really stupid question, you can delete this shit if you want.

I consider myself someone who is pretty fucking stupid in many categories. Most of my life all I really cared about was anime, surfing the internet, and videogames. all but 1/4th of what I learned in science class has been all but forgotten. Very basic shit.

But not too long after really questioning religion, I started slowly wondering how the universe works, and I want to start learning this stuff again from square one. Where would be a good place to start?

>I want to start learning stuff again from square one

Where is square one? What scientific subjects interest you?

The Extended Phenotype is a good book on evolution.

The Grand Design is a good book on physics and the universe.

Consciousness Explained is a bit challenging yet interesting look into, well, consciousness.

How far do you want to go though? Perhaps you should learn first-order logic (start with simpler logic first), improve your maths skills on Khan Academy, get a book on statistics (which will help you read scientific papers).

It's a bit hard to help when you're being this general.

Sorry for being so general, it looks like there isn't quite a starting point like there is in math.

From what I see, khan academy has has some organization problems. There are some things that are misspelled and shit they haven't taught yet that they expect you to know. Otherwise it's a good site yeah.

Thanks for the recommendations.
