It needs to be diet coke.
Edit: also, try it outside.

Browse wikipedia aimlessly by just clicking link after link. Also play trivia at your local bar, get a team together if you can.

Very fun and useful suggestions, thanks.
I might even start hosting my own trivia at my neighborhood centre.

Good point, some are better at that than others though, but still if you want to learn something, you have to put effort in to it.

Watch Jeopardy reruns, pick up a copy of Schott's Original Miscellany, find a hobby that involves routine trips to Home Depot and watch your odds and ends how to do and things to know knowledge increase.
Also look into the Foxfire series of books, an Audubon guide of choice... Fuck it go back in time and join boy scouts they taught us how to do so damn much unless you 15 or 16 then there's still time.
Reading is the most critical but it's critical to keep the reading varied from Pynchon to a Python Manuel snake or language.

Don't die... Your doing alright then.

Seems like something you could call common knowledge.

Do stuff. People learn "common sense" mainly because something has blown in their face. Also because people told them, but this one isn't fun.

Do stupid stuff in order to achieve brilliance, I like it.

1- Do stupid stuff.
2- Become a jack-ass crew member.
3- ???
4- Zen mastery and enlightenment.
