A free university / college education
If you share a love of free learning – with no cost or boundaries – here is a wonderful resource from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT):
MIT has graciously uploaded course lectures with topics ranging from astrophysics to feminist political thought.
As I love the idea of independent learning, content from one of the world’s most renouned universities is priceless. (That was sort of a pun.) I have more to say about pursuing knowledge independently, but I’m saving that for a later post.
Currently, I’m studying the basics of general philosophy and philosophy of the mind. This will go a long way in helping me out: “Mind and Machines“
Some courses even have video and audio available.
