• [2025-11-22 Sat 03:01] I had a "he is literally me" reading a biography about Leonadrdo da Vinci: "His notebooks are filled with lists of books he acquired and passages he copied."[cite:@isaacson-2017-leonar-vinci]

These are neither the books I recommend nor the ones I countenance their views. This is a list of the documents/textbooks that I own (either physically or digitally), with some side notes that could be helpful.

• [2023-03-06 Mon 00:13] I added some papers here too, I think this makes the 'books' title a little bit misleading. Also I moved the books I regret reading, or the ones I wouldn't definitely reread to the "inexpedient" ² sections.

"There's a good reason why nobody studies history, it just teaches you too much". — Noam Chomsky.

«إنّ التَارْيخَ فيْ ظَاهِرهِ لا يّزْيدُ عَنِ الإِخْبَار، ولَكِنْ فْي بَاطِنهِ نَظَرٌ وتَحْقيق». — إبن خَلْدُون.

«وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَا إِلَّا الْعَالِمُونَ».

All ancient books which have once been called sacred by man, will have their lasting place in the history of mankind, and those who possess the courage, the perseverance, and the self-denial of the true miner, and of the true scholar, will find even in the darkest and dustiest shafts what they are seeking for,—real nuggets of thought, and precious jewels of faith and hope. — Max Müller, Introduction to the Upanishads Vol. II.
