We humans have a complicated relationship with knowledge. We would never have developed this dazzling, problematic, over-shiny world if it weren't for it. We wouldn't be able to enjoy all of the amazing stuff we do. Everything that has ever been built has been built on top of the things that came before it.

Despite how fantastically great knowledge and facts are, the current learning paradigm manages to make information acquisition a difficult, often soul-crushing endeavor. That's where a selection of colorful, entertaining guides comes in handy.

Why study by rote, cramming meaningless material into your head that you'll probably never use? If you're going to fill your grey matter with information you'll never use, it should at least be information you want. Or the process itself enjoyable.

Enjoy the cool charts and helpful guides below, and remember that there's always more knowledge to learn afterwards.
