A major use of LessWrong is an introduction to many fields of knowledge. It’s like a catalog, presenting summarized subjects in tasty bites, which can be used to direct your focus towards what you’re really interested in, or create said interest. It’s a nice representation of rationality, and gives you a sense of what it is and why you should desire it. Posts on scholarship and the like will teach you the best ways to learn.

This is the pleasant little pond for us little fish to grow in, eating the delicious shinies and preparing for a journey into the sea. Devour everything, plan, make some maps, pack your mental backpack, and know that if you truly wish to learn, you’ll one day have to leave.
