Ask HN: Studying for breadth

3 points by solveit 7y ago ↗ HN

How have you gone about studying a wide range of subjects?

The main objective is to become conversant in any chosen subjects to the level where I would be able to ask sensible questions to experts and they would be able to give meaningful answers that I can understand.

A side objective, this being HN, is that this will make me better at spotting and evaluating entrepreneurial opportunities.

Also learn about generative design, it will help you get a feeling on what is a searchspace.
