@TheTheode thanks for the recommendations! I think I might have mentioned Judee Sill. I lov her whole heart food album. My favorites are crayon angels and the kiss!

I enjoyed your rant. I feel I know you better now. I've been curious about what guides your reading choices, and I am surprised you're not a college student simply because so much of what you read is on college reading lists. I am also keenly aware that a degree does not necessarily correlate with intelligence. It is obvious you are very, very intelligent with perhaps just a touch of ADHD. You will make your own path. Who was the comedian you mentioned?

​@@mjgerleman Thank you! I tried to squeeze in some more unscripted less formulaic videos from time to time. Honestly, I'm not sure what got me first into reading aside from a general curiosity, but my parents were pretty avid readers with my dad having a artistic streak in my mother being mathematically inclined. But I definitely and was always a lot more fascinated by the visual arts, some history and and in my late teens I got more into reading the classics of literature like Dostoevsky, Kafka, Tolstoy, Hesse, Thomas Mann, and some intense phases with philosophy like Camus, Nietzsche, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kant, Heidegger and I only got more interested as time went on. I was interested in going to college for possibly philosophy or some kind of doctorate in psychology, the humanities but I decided against it and just stuck to learning mostly on my own. Sorry I actually don't remember what comedian I talked about! It might have been Nathan Fielder?

There is nothing stupid about your rants. Everything nowadays is so scripted, edited, controlled not only on the internet but also outside. Sitting in a chair and expressing face camera the flow of your consciousness, it takes some character and some courage.
