I'm a social failure. I don't have anything worth living for or any reason to continue living. So I decided I'm going to study 18 hours a day and just master every single subject that exists.

Is there a scientific way to keep information retained forever without traumatizing myself?

Will I be able to become the best?

Instead of studying train your memory. There's no scientific way to keep information retained forever.
And you won't become the best. There is only so much you can learn on your own. Once you start getting into the bounders of known information thats when it takes worthwhile creative educated individuals to ask the right questions. And to construct the right experiments to answer those questions.
However, if you mean best in the sense that you can score 100% on exams, sure you can achieve that.

that's impossible

you must specialize.

You cant be at same time a top surgeon, pilot, engineer, musician, painter, mathematician, chemist, lawyer, architect, linguist, economist etc.... at same time.

You have to pick few fields among the many fields that exists & specialize in them.

For example if you want to become a top electrical engineer, you have to master math, physics, programming, robotics, electrical circuits, electronics & related subjects...
Studying at same time Medieval History or Greek Philosophy in Depth for example would be just a distraction & make you lose focus.

OP here: I started training my speaking voice so people will remember me as the person that sounds like he is singing when he is speaking. I started to listen more and think positively strictly and get rid of negative thoughts so I have more brain space for my studies.
I don't believe in meditation or other occult/esoteric stuff but I figured that trying it can't hurt and if it works the gains may be substantial.
I also memorized a histology textbook but as I said, I'm running out of Loci points so I need to find something or a way to create more good points. As I never leave the house I can't possibly create new points, and video games consume too much time.
I'm going to achieve a level where people meet me and become so impressed that they will be moved to tears with my commitment and proficiency. I don't care if you think this is silly or stupid or impossible to achieve.
If you have positive feedback or constructive criticism I'll greatly appreciate it.

Let's imagine that you wanna start your study from Humanities.

Foreign languages is a specialization of Humanities.
So to master Humanities you have to master all foreign languages.
There are hundreds of languages across the globe...
Russian, Greek, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Arabic ....

Now I know people that mastered a dozen of languages (for example all slavic languages since they look alike, knowing Russian make easier to master Polish for example)

But people mastering hundreds wildly different languages such as Japanese, Arabic, German & Greek are exceeding rare but suppose that they exists.

Now imagine that you wanna master not only their languages, but also their literature, history & geography.

You can't retain all of it on that kind of schedule. However, one method that can help is take notes, and repeatedly rearrange the information in those notes in a way you can understand. Summarize, re-phrase in your own words, draw venn diagrams, write lists of useful equations, whatever works for you. The more you organize the information you have already learned, the more connections you will wire and strengthen in your brain.

Also, practice problems.

I know a Jewish math professor
who learned besides English:
Russian & Ukrainian (learned as Child, where he came from)
Hebrew & Yidish (heritage languages)
German & French (to read technical literature)
Spanish & Portuguese (learned when He worked in Latin America)


He also specialized in Differential Geometry
(a branch of math used in Einstein's General Relativity & Astronomy)
which is an extremely difficult subject on its own

But even a master mind like him don't know jack shit about Japanese or Chinese languages

Lurk more, there is plenty of advice in this board
>>10243009

You can hava a more concrete objective: master all of khanacademy.org

Start with math. Maybe to set 100% in all the things you want can be a good way to find what you really want at the same time you get used to doing exercises and solving problems. Would you end tired of khan academy? If you really want to master everything you will do something more aftee that great achievement and will start with the good books. Don't forget to read the sticky and look for advice outside 4chan too. If you can talk with an actual scientific, philospher, writer, lawyer or with any phd student, try to do it. And keep doing what increase your motivation and determination, for example writing, joining clubs, reading pop-sci, pop-phi, history, fiction, watching related YouTube channels...

Wish you good experiences in your path.

while doing so will certainly put you in the status of a top electrical engineer, it is not feasible in itself either. It is just too broad and engineering disciplines on themselves require their own specialization. A power engineer won't be as familiar with microelectronics as a microelectronics engineer will.
