>but what can you do with a man who says he 'has read' them, meaning he has read them once, and thinks that this settles the matter
Oh shit. Literally me.

I have been autistically getting interested in Ted Nelson's idea of the "hypertext" and how radically different it is from our current system of hypertext; one instance is how our current system warps and jumps from one link to another the term for this is "anchoring" while you are "surfing" the internet, this type of system leads to schizophrenia and ADHD which is what we see the symptoms of in our current world.
Ted Nelson's project on xanadu had a different idea about "hypertext" instead of jumping and warping from one link to another it proposed a system in which the links would be bridged together and we will see each and every source that is being cited in the page.
How different the world would have been if this would have been the dominating system.

I am an autisticel 25 yo NEET hermit and I am lost. I don't know how I should approach this society except by suicide since I'm extremely maladaptive to it. I am a slow person, I can't learn very well nor can I socialize at all very well. I don't do anything with my life but browse imageboards or chat with people.

Basically what I'm saying here is, I feel lost, I feel like I'm postponing the end of what I should've done years ago. I also feel like my parents should've euthanized me.

Anyway, is there any literature that could help me out with this? Or atleast, help me cope with this?

As I said I am Agnostic; I dont believe in the purely secular world view amd believe that man has a soul, but i also believe that no man made ideology can describe the truth of the universe in an unbiased way.

>"...and the little girl's face was quite bright."

It's like the history of western civilization in a paragraph.

>A PRINCE ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline; for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules, and it is of such force that it not only upholds those who are born princes, but it often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank. And, on the contrary, it is seen that when princes have thought more of ease than of arms they have lost their states.
