While I'm glad to see that my schizophrenic incel ideas are becoming mainstream, I'm worried that this in combination with the handful of algorithmic information-bubbles the modern internet now provides is going to result in me developing normie-heuristics and loosen the competitive advantage I used to have from holding obscure and heterodox beliefs, or even the advantages from just from being one of the few people to be "very online." Since chronic-contrarianism is no longer rare enough to beget real-world advantages, I think the best alternative is to find extremely obscure topics that AI will never bring up and that very few others on the planet will know (especially if this knowledge is synthesizable with other fields). My strategy for this so far is to find books written at least before 1970 and go through the bibliography for things that seem interesting. Does /lit/ have any advice for my quest in obscuremaxxing?

I would consider that since big sweep history is popular, look to microhistory.

Used book stores are your friend, but secondhand shops with a bookshelf are your lover.

Yeah I know what you mean. Unfortunately I'll be keeping what few ideas and inspirations I have left to myself until I can figure out a way to actually profit from having them 15 years ahead of the curve. Best of luck, I'm afraid.

In the meanwhile, please enjoy my low effort shitposts that rarely contribute anything meaningful to the discussion.

I’m not glad at all. Normies are too low IQ to understand that shit properly.

You must go deeper beyond your current beliefs and dial them up to 999%

What "advantages" would those be?
