Resurrecting this thread, I would like to ask people a few questions:

1) What are the "necessary" skills before becoming an autodidact?

2) What should be the "essentials" of a starting autodidact curriculum?

3) What are some interesting pathways that an autodidact could take once they've reached an intermediate level?

4) What would you recommend that is overlooked, unorthodox, or otherwise unfairly ignored by autodidacts?

Pic unrelated, a nice diagram of the trinity, so at least you've walked away unlearning heresy.
