Hi thinkers and alike,

Have you been to 'The Library of Babel', or rather its most near approximation?

Well, have a look and don't be surprised if you find some forgotten notes at one of the desks from Immanuel Kant.

It's a 'library' with at least

'books'.

By the way, most of them are in languages that have not yet been invented (the writer was an authentic prankster I guess) .

Some implications :

° all books are intelligible

° there's one book to (... rule them, bind them... :P) unlocking all others

° aiming for knowledge is the most subtle trap, resulting in hindrance

° everything anyone ever going to write is there... oh, noooo(!!!) perhaps there's faith

...

Enjoy

Cool idea. So is this post and your post in there somewhere too??? Just looked, presumably, yes. Hey, don't bother replying (joke), just look up what you were going to write in the Library! :woot:

I don't think this library could be created; it's too, contradicts itself. Though I'm certain, the deterministic secretly clings onto the hope that it might be made into reality one day.

Additionally, there's something fishy about finding only exactly what one's looking for. (invalidates reason for curiosity)

p. s. Furthermore, (if I had looked... ) where are my typos? Where are my mistakes? Where's anything else but what I 'would have introduced' ? 

To anyone stumbling upon the supporting arguments for '42' : be so kind that you drop me a direct link, would you?

Shortly after Twitter started the US Library of Congress started recording all tweets by US citizens for posterity (they must have seen one of my tweets) but after a very short time they changed their minds. Not because of any shortage of disk space, but because of the drivel being written, they decided they didn’t want to save that for posterity at all.
