To be honest I've also tried to be a polymath (still trying), now all I have is frustration and reality hit hard. So I assume a lot of people on Veeky Forums are trying to warn him of the dangers of such ambitions. I wanted to get really well versed in history, mythology, engineering/technology (too broad I know), music and martial arts. I'm only good at martial arts and that's only because of huge sacrifices. I couldn't even be considered good on any of the other subjects, and my motivation to continue studying engineering is only supported by dedication. I'll get my motivation back, but it's no easy path.
What I'm trying to tell OP is that you need to lower your expectations, the ocean is much bigger than what you think. I don't think people are being rude, just realistic. Is the answer.

>Basically, I aim to reach a: Master's level of fluency in physics and computer science. Bachelor's level of fluency in math, politics, and economics.
totally reasonable within a lifetime
But realize that a masters level means understanding roughly 0.0001% of an entire field. At a masters and even a phd level the knowledge is incredibly narrow.

>In economics, I want to be able to understand the world's financial systems, not too much. Main purpose is to make money with my economics studies. >For physics the purpose is to be able to understand the physical world well enough that I can create my prototypes for future business. >Politics so I can debate and understand my history and how politics works, in case I ever get into it in the future.
It is very obvious you dont understand what any of this means or entails, as many of these statements are plainly naive. Broadly search for an interest, find it, and stick with it.

Seconded,
But i definitely meant to be rude and realistic at the same time.

>0.0001%
