Is there any reason why these specific subjects? I don't know that its
being too stupid, maybe it has to do more to do with confidence, or
aptitude. You don't have to ask permission to study anything, from
anyone.

I don't think it's about being stupid... I've read that there are
many types of intelligence... maybe. some people are more advanced in
certain areas and other people are more advanced in other areas... for
example, my therapist always tells me that I'm very abvanced in
understanding deep psychological issues, and I think I'm pretty good at
abstract, associative thinking... In other areas,such as socially, and
details oriented, concrete thinking... as well as higher math, I'm way
behind... also I think that many people have never studied certain
areas... and obviously severe depression and other mental illnesses
often have a major affect on intellectual functioning...

What is the point of learning junk like that? I just learned trig and
geometry like most other people, and rarely used either in electronics.

I'm personally fond of Algebra (arabic in origin, al gebra...?) Anyway, it's
the only one I got comfortable with and even though I got all the way
through various levels of calculus the only thing I find myself ever using
is algebra.

algebra gets tough in college. esp grad level stuff. i wish i had better
understand of it since it's applicable to cryptography.
the one i'm scared of is functional analysis. i hear it's tough.

You are extremely ambitious. Do you plan to be awarded the Nobel prize?
Maybe you aren't approaching those subjects in the "right" order:
for instance, there's no point in trying to understand quantum
mechanics
without a good background in theoretical (classical) mechanics, nor
electrodynamics without mechanics and special relativity, nor M-theory
without QFT, and so on. Perhaps you're so in a hurry to learn them,
that you aren't taking the time to understand them one at a time?
I suggest to proceed in the following order:
(A) "Basic" background in physics:
1) "Basic" (so to speak) mechanics (hamiltonian and lagrangian
methods)
2) Electromagnetism (quasi-equilibrium and time-independent)
3) Elementary quantum physics (mostly depscriptive)
4) Equilibrium thermodynamics, statistical physics
5) Special relativity and electrodynamics
(B) Advanced physics:
6) Quantum mechanics (non relativistic), quantum statistical physics
7) "Advanced" mechanics (continuum systems, lagrangian density method)
8) Nuclear and particle physics
9) Quantum field theory
This should provide you with the minimal background to understand such
difficult subjects as M-theory or General Relativity (assuming you're
strong
in maths, I suppose you are).
Of course what I wrote above is more or less equivalent to a degree in
physics (minus a number of not-so-essential subjects) so unless you are
really smart it would take you at least 3 or 4 years... of course
that's
just my very humble opinion...
