my suggestions of seeking knowledge.

my suggestions of seeking knowledge.
1. It's dynamic, learning, don't try to go from A -> Z, I suggest, build dynamically, and rebuild things when assumptions are proven wrong or previously concluded things were wrong. Sometimes go backwards from Z -> A even, or some in the middle and work from both directions.

2. Gather what you know for certain and work from there.

3. Don't rely on conjecture to guess further conjecture, don't rely on probability that is guessed to further probe probability of other things that come back to verify the probability of things that you relied to guess in the first place.

4. Don't keep hitting the same type of box and don't limit your paradigm, don't limit answers to a certain set when seeking answers to questions.

5. Question your bias, and challenge it, never assume you don't have one, and so work with negatively trying to go against your bias as well.

6. Re-question even things you take for granted and are sure are true, try to disprove them, you may find you acknowledge so much more that verify those things you question, and are working with whole of known facts that you have not articulated that actually prove those things. This is a safe zone as well, because when seeking to disprove them you are only doing it for the sake of establishing arguments for it as you are sure of the facts anyways.

7.  There is seldom anything or any knowledge, that doesn't some how connect back through some interlinks of topics, to any subject.  Don't dismiss something unrelated just because they are in a different category of subject by your assumptions and terms.

8.  Never give up what is certain for a conjecture, no matter who says, how much people agree on it, or how much it is praised and glorified by society, never give up on what you know for certain for what is doubtful.

9. Know when to stop doubting. Doubting is useful in that it seeks to challenge what we thinks is true, but at a certain point, it needs to stop doubting, because if doubt applies equally to things you should be certain of to things you should not, certainty and knowledge become unattainable.

10. Teach what you know and don't teach conjecture. If you teach what you know, it becomes firmer knowledge and you become an expert. If you teach conjecture, conjecture becomes your passion and central focus, and you become pole of irrationality but may talk like you know what you at talking about.

11.  Go from many doors and don't aim to prove or disprove just one thing. Even concepts that may seem so strange to you, don't dismiss them if you don't know they are wrong.   And seek to find out from a plethora of subjects and doors and keep learning.

12. If something seems not interesting to you, don't close your ears to it. It maybe there is a lot of wisdom and application in what seems boring and it maybe become exciting once you know the subject, and don't solely seek knowledge in what your interested in.  This way,  knowledge that you gain and continue to grow is will not simply be a matter of taste.

13. Don't keep looping by the same evidence if something is inconclusive, seek different evidence, different outlooks, don't just loop the same arguments and counter arguments.

14. Leave your comfort zone sometimes, but come back to it to stay with what you know.

15. Don't quote people so much, put things in your own words, when trying to propagate an idea.

A list of decent ideas to tape to the wall of your work-space, perhaps.   Puzzling why you would post them here though.

Because we’re the lost sheep, Fuzzy.

While I don't necessarily see religion in your post, I do recognize a familiar behavior pattern. 

Do you realize that you make a lot of lists?

Edit. Nevermind.

The best advice for seeking knowledge comes from those who have gained knowledge. Not the poor of intellect. The best advice for gaining riches comes from those that have become rich. Not the guy without a dime.

It's very easy to seek knowledge, even kids at school manage that.

M.K., Muhammad and Jesus were DOING Impossible things. Again, it's EASY to preach and its HELL to actually act according to religions idealistic standards.

Why are you choosing the EASIEST way, if you proclaim that you are religious.

If you would work like hell and post pics of you feeding homeless to show what religion is all about, many people here would bow before you.
