I would also like to add one more resource for education that is free – as long as you have access to a computer and the internet. It is khanacademy.org. They have a collection of excellent videos from many different topics, that explain the topic thoroughly, and understandable.

Another great site is Academic Earth:
http://academicearth.org/

It compiles single lectures and entire courses form open course sites of universities like Stanford, Yale and MIT. Some also have additional material available for download.

I’ve been buying from the Teaching Company for a few years, and they are fabulous! Just a few corrections: MOST of their courses are available on DVD, and with very few exceptions, ALL are available on CD. Also, while the DVD courses are quite expensive, the Teaching Company offers selected courses each month (over the year, all their courses) at a substantial discount. Subscribe to their monthly catalog to know when the course(s) that interests you is available.

it’s all well and good to try to encourage people but people who are as inept and shit as me will never be able to reach those lofty goals

I have been very satisfied with The Teaching Company’s products and enjoy MIT open courseware and TED, etc. Also look at the Avalon project form Yale – hundreds of essential documents from Magna Carta to Federalis papers etc. I also like econtalk – podcasts about economics really facinating stuff.

It’s funny how people seem to be impressed when one knows a lot about varied topics. I will check out the resources. Good post.

I would also recommend http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/HFrame.html for a good overview of physics. It makes doctoral-level concepts understandable to an intelligent layman – a tour de force.

I just wanted to add a link to a great free book resource! This one has both text and audio books.
