I want to do something with my life. Probably start a revolution. I want to read up on it, but the thing is, if decent information is out there, then other people would have done it already.

No they wouldn't have you dunce. Revolutions happen constantly and revolutionary literature is a major genre. Institutions in successful countries don't worry about revolutionary literature, because the stability of their government and social order make it far too difficult for people to both spur one another to revolutionary action and effect change by force.

On the latter point, its actually a ridiculous notion to think that citizens can overthrow standing regimes by their own power; there is always, ALWAYS a military element fueling the conflict on behalf of the rebels. So if you want to overthrow a power structure, your first practical order of business is to buy a military.

How can a man who isn't a master of himself expect to lead other people, or expect them to follow?

pay off scientists in some convoluted system where everyone believes your products aren't harmful and then have these so called bullies get hooked. When they find out your shit was killing them, you just shrug and move on and then laugh about it later when you're having a drink on your yacht with your family and employees. Later you may mention something to a mistress or competitor about it all being much to much, but, honestly, if you are going to go there, like really go there, this is really The only way to go to rid you of your bullies in true patrician style.

Major in a trade or applicable degree (ie., not something purely theoretical), find a wife and knock her up, join the military, volunteer with your local political parties twice a week, submit the occasional piece of writing to local newspapers/literary journals, get a gun and practice with it regularly, volunteer at your local homeless shelter/nursing home on weekends, go to church on Sunday or mosque on Friday, have more kids and homeschool them, get a law degree in your mid thirties, talk to strangers on the street and smile at everyone, when you’re in your mid 40s run for public office.

This is realistically the best way to do something with your life, short of maybe becoming a priest or doctor.

You have no idea about society or any ideas for it, but you say you want to start a revolution with your life?

A revolution is something that occurs as a consequence of someone with societal understanding and strong conviction about it.

Not Op, but this is not true. Revolutions are reactions to and a reestablishment of legitimacy. A revolution happens due to many variables which are outside the control of individuals. The ideology that gets put into action in revolutions has nothing to do with rationality and everything to do with animals existing in an environment.
