Which book will make me superior to all the subhuman, low-life cretins I encounter every day, at work, in the street, online? The closest I've seen to intellectual equals are a few of you /lit/izens

Pic unrelated. Not applicable in real life in any way unless you're a software engineer/researcher.

track B cs theory (aka euro-theory) is far more philosophical than track A cs theory

One mindset change might be preferable because, while you want to be superior, you don't want to become an asshole and alienate people that you should befriend. Instead of thinking "how can I be superior," think "how can I become the absolute best version of myself that I can." This puts the focus more on you and encourages you to improve for your own sake instead of improving to be compared to others, and you still get to feel slightly superior to others when you meet a person and very clearly see that this is not them at their peak potential.

this looks complicated but it really isn't at all, its literally just memorising rules then applying them

Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
If you can't read it and understand it (not 100%, just the overall point of it) then you simply don't have the potential to be superior.

if you couldn't write a lisp interpreter by the time you were 9 you will forever remain subhuman, and you have no chance of ever appreciating any book you've listed, let alone sicp. mccarthy's (pbuh) divine revelations are not for midwits, let alone subhumans.

A bit over-dramatic, but who can fault you for worrying about interpreting lisps? I will pray for you.
