The specific thing I found really helpful was Mortimer Adler’s “How to Read a Book”, where he talks about this idea of syntopical reading. There was a project in the 50’s. It was called the Great Books Series, where this guy, Mortimer Adler, and I think it was Encyclopedia Britannica, they got all the books of western canon and they indexed all the places in Hegel and Kant and John Locke and all of those classic books of western thought, and they indexed all of the different ideas that were being brought up in there. And they summarised the core ideas and the core differences of opinion across all these different people and then indexed back to where in each of these books it’s said. I thought that that was a really cool project that would be a lot better if it was digital. And it would be a lot better if it wasn’t just these 50 books based on this editorial decision made that those were the 50 books that really mattered. I was like, “I want the syntopicon or synopticon for physics and for ontology and for the Vedas and Upanishads and things that aren’t just in the western canon.”
