note from the LD Talent team
Defining “Established Knowledge“
What we mean by “established knowledge” is conceptual textbook and course knowledge. Not research knowledge, research courses, derivative knowledge, or skill / tool specific knowledge, for which plentiful documentation exists on the web.
- One good heuristic is that these are the common topics that every reputable research university in the world (such as “R1 universities” in the US) offers their undergrad and graduate students.
- Another heuristic is that after mastering this knowledge (or disciplinary slices of it), you should be an expert, ready to apply the knowledge and push it forward. So, this is the real deal, not some popular science content for a lay audience.
- A final heuristic is that this is the core knowledge of all society. Sure, there is an infinite number of mixed and matched skills, hierarchies, variants, minutiae, derivative knowledge, literatures, vocations, professions, formalisms, rules, findings, papers, projects, classifications, applications, etc. But, this is the core conceptual knowledge that marks expertise in any given discipline.
- To see our closest attempt to categorize all skills relevant to LD Talent, see the categories on LD Talent’s Find Talent page. These categories were compiled by Rashika, Ngei, and me Gobi.
- This is a continuously evolving article and you can submit suggestions in the comments if you think some knowledge should be added or edited.
Subjects
Explore these subjects to grasp the fundamentals of all knowledge:
- Mathematics
- Statistics
- Computer Science
- Physics including EE, MechE, Materials Science, Product Design, CivilE, Architecture, EnvE, Geography, AeroE, and Astronomy
- Chemistry including ChemE
- Biology including Medicine, BioE
- Psychology including Cognitive Science
- Economics including Business and Finance
- Humanities inlcuding Language Arts, History, Archaeology, Anthropology, Urban Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Philosophy, Linguistics, Communication, and Law
- Art including Visual Arts, Dance, Music, Film, Sports, Cooking
We are of the belief that the flipped classroom model is much better than the traditional model. One can pause videos and understand them comfortably. Live chat support or Piazza helps.
What do you know?
What percent of all established knowledge do you know? Find out by joining LD Talent and marking your skills. You will be able to mark the technical skills and academic topics you know.
This has been incredibly humbling for all of us. Many of us, myself included, came out of high school thinking we know it all. And out of college realizing we know nothing. At a rate of 4 courses per year, it will take perhaps 5 lifetimes of studying to learn and apply everything a university can teach you. And in that time, much more knowledge may be added to what is known. Hence you have to pick and choose which subset of courses you want to take in order to make your contribution to society. We hope you choose a nice “slice”.
My belief is that people learn things for 4 reasons:
- because they have to (i.e. many school children)
- for money (i.e. some college students and professional development scholars)
- to appreciate and experience the universe (i.e. book worms and hobbyists)
- to make a contribution to society (i.e. professors, entrepreneurs, leaders, and artists)
I recommend choosing what to learn for the latter 2 reasons, not just the former 2.
- First, graduate from high school, undergrad, or grad school (18-35).
- Next, create a selection of 40 lifelong learning courses that you can complete over 10 years (35-45).
- Try to include a little bit from every field and a lot of depth in one field (i.e. a T-shaped skillset).
- You can browse others’ profiles on ldtalentwork.com to find out how unique your T-shaped skillset is.
- Finally, spend the rest of your career applying your knowledge to your life contribution, doing an auxiliary lifelong learning course here or there, as needed for your contribution. At this stage, making the contribution is probably more of a priority than learning, since you’re likely more than halfway through your life. What a shame it would be to learn Calculus and then die before ever applying it! We live in a strange society where every 80 years we flush down everything a person has learned, and the next generation has to re-learn it.
- Your contribution may be research, a company, art, or a political contribution.
LD Talent can also help you find:
- opportunities (given your skillset / what you know)
- talent for hire (given your needs / what you don’t know)
Mission
Let’s not get bogged down by information overload! Let’s cut to the chase (following a topological order of prerequisites so we never get stuck).
Method: To be used in conjunction with:
- MOOCs from class-central.com, coursera.org, edx.org, codecademy.com, uopeople.edu
- lectures on youtube.com, khanacademy.org, ck12.org, ixl.com, bighistoryproject.com
- resources on open courseware sites like ocw.mit.edu, oeconsortium.org, oyc.yale.edu, open.umich.edu, ocw.jhsph.edu,
- articles from google.com, scholar.google.com, researchgate.net, academia.edu
- if you find you don’t have access to articles found on google scholar, you may try using the internet at your local library or university to download the articlesas they might have a subscription to the likes of Science Direct or JSTOR)
- if you still can’t afford access, you can try emailing the author by finding their email on their lab’s / office’s website
- textbooks found on openstax.org, open.umn.edu/opentextbooks
- textbooks found online through google, libgen.is and epdf.pub though this is a controversial method that we don’t endorse or comment on; all we can say is that we believe that textbooks are overpriced and hence disenfranchise the majority world and the poor of the world from information access
- resources on nursingdegree.net/100-best-sites-and-resources-for-med-students/ if you’re interested in medicine
- research articles found by googling labs at accredited universities (timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/) and looking at their papers on their websites
- if you don’t have access to a lab, we suggest watching youtube videos of relevant scientific experiments you’re curious about
- answers on stackexchange.com, investopedia.com, quora.com, medium.com
- searching youtube.com/results?search_query=how+its+made for literally any thing
- exercises found by searching “[subject name] problems / exercises” on google
- educational software found by searching “[subject name] software” or “[subject name] educational software” on google
- educational games found by searching “[subject name] games” or “[subject name] educational games” on google
- educational apps found by searching “[subject name] app” on google play or app store
- books on gutenberg.org, projecteuclid.org, openlibrary.org, manybooks.net
- audible.com, openculture.com/freeaudiobooks or just by google searching “nearest library” and finding books or audiobooks from there
with the objective of structuring learning around a standard syllabus.
While learning to use a mobile device, computer, tablet, and mouse has been intuitive since the the advent of the graphical user interface, typing may be something people still have to ‘learn with effort’. If needed you can learn typing for free online using google.com/search?q=learn+typing+online+free.
This project IS NOT solving the problem of learning content — online courses, videos, and q&a sites listed above solve that problem.
This project IS solving the problem of “going down a rabbit hole of prerequisites”. When you don’t know concept A, then you look it up, but find out you need to know unknown concept B which leads you to unknown concept C and so on. This project should eliminate that problem by presenting all established knowledge in a topological order of prerequisites.
This project SHOULD ALSO help with writing proofs or arguments by surfacing all reference theorems / concepts in one place.
Finally, this project should stop you from feeling guilty about forgetting what you learned a few years ago by reminding you with ample context.
What about skills and tools?
Now this covers knowledge (i.e. Machine Learning, Algorithms, Statistical Mechanics, Genetics) but what about skills and tools (i.e. Tensorflow, Java, Matlab, Biopython)?
Well, to see all the interesting and in-demand skills and tools you can learn, we recommend visiting:Â ldtalentwork.com/client/select_engineers/
To learn them simply google “[skill name] tutorial”, “learn [skill name]”, “[skill name] free online course”, “[skill name] documentation”, or “tools for [skill name / subject name]”.
You’ll get a ton of text and video material to learn from. We recommend going for the official documentation whenever possible. Then mark that you know that skill on your LD profile. You can make one by pressing “apply as talent” on ldtalentwork.com.
Why is this all in English only?
As per this comment about the balance of powers of society’s languages (bit.ly/2JivbUn) and this comment about society’s inventions and discoveries (bit.ly/33N1OTs) on our first cultural blog post, we at LD Talent use and accept English as the lingua franca of the world.
All peoples of the world own and shape English now. This harkens the famous “Empire strikes back” jokes (Trevor Noah, Anubav Pal, Russell Peters, etc). Jokes aside, nowadays far more non-English writers contribute to English writing and communication than ones hailing from England do. Just like everyone uses the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, everyone uses English writing and speaking. It’s ok. English is a human possession now. Moreover, the English language is related to Indo-European languages as eastern as Sanskrit and Bengali and has gained words from non Indo-European language groups as well. Like:
- algebra from Arabic
- maize from Native American Taino
- mongoose from South Indian Telugu
- chai from Mandarin
- tattoo from Tahitian
- banana from West African Mande

So with that said we only focus on English and present all our materials in English (just like StackOverflow and StackExchange do for instance). If you are not fluent in English, here are the learning resources we recommend:
- duolingo.com (you can actually learn most major world languages with this)
- khanacademy.org/mission/sat/
- merriam-webster.com/word-games/vocabulary-quiz
- class-central.com/search?lang=english&q=english
- google.com/search?q=learn+typing+online+free (for typing)
- learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/
- britishcouncil.si/en/english/apps
We also created a spreadsheet of 8000+ English words and phrases translated into 11 regional South Asian languages and they are all here:
The sheet and recordings take a while to load but it’s worth it.
The languages include Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Arabic, Urdu, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi (in Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi), Bengali, Malayalam, and Kannada. Duolingo does a good job at covering most of the rest of the world’s major languages ⇔ English.
I want to credit Santa Dasu, founder of Yuva Bharati, Damodara Dasu, founder of Sangeeta Sudha, and Divya Mittagunta, an experienced consultant from McKinsey who all volunteered to help me with the translations and recordings. I also want to thank all the other freelance translation consultants I worked with, including Juzer Fakhri and Rajeshree Bora. I hope these publicly available resources can be of some use to a wide audience.

You can also google search for handbooks of a particular topic / subject and it will cover seminal literature. Then you can see what works those handbooks cite to explore literature relevant to your needs.
It’s on you to ask yourself questions and make sure you understand concepts fully, and to maintain quality when learning. When I was studying, I never knew what’s important to learn and faced information overload. This list will hopefully teach bright aspiring minds what to learn and where to spend their time.
