I've seen this Marc Levoy series recommended a lot but it's boring and he seems full of shit.

They're all bullshit
Useful in up until DSLRs and mirrorless were invented.
There is almost no technical skill required for photography anymore

Just take photographs. Look at them. Why do you like some, why do you not like others. What makes them good, what makes them bad. Then take better photographs.

Stop

See /p/ sticky. Go to great photographers section. Checkout all of them. Then do this "Look at them. Why do you like some, why do you not like others. What makes them good, what makes them bad." Try to imitate them, like ditto imitate them in the start. Then mix and merge the your influences to create a your own style. You may develop your visual style with this method but you'll never develop a worldview by just looking at photographs. The way that you look at the world, your own observations, study, memories, your life, the country that you live, your religion/philosophy etc. will all influence you to choose your subject and impact your work.

Three essential books on photography:
>Photography: The Whole Story by Juliet Hacking(History)
>The Photographer's Eye by John Szarkowski(for general understanding of photography)
>On Being a Photographer by David Hurn(especially for the chapter On Subject)

Photography is easy. Just go outside, do it, and get criticism

Just be from a certain tribe and have your shitty street photos "discovered"
This is guaranteed to work if you're a woman btw
