Nowonos Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Most IDM 2015? My head hurts thinking about this.There is a 410 page book on the internet with this post as it's entire content repeated until the end. "Or with a 3rd person narrative running through it" he said clumsily, attempting to articulate himself.

It comes from a short story by Jorge Luis Borges, a great Argentinian writer of fiction. In the story the library houses every permutation of 22 letters, a space, a period and a comma and inserts them in 410 page volumes, places on shelves arranged in hexagonal galleries which lead to more hexagonal galleries ad infinitum. Many people are concerned with finding meaning in volumes, but pretty much everything everyone finds is something like dchrmlcmdlf for 410 pages. People search to the point of death/suicide. It's worth reading as it's very short.
