    TLDR: Imagine every random combination of letters in the alphabet. It's something like 215 trillion books, the absolute vast majority of which would be complete nonsense. But practically every so often you may stumble upon one that has a few of those random letters form a coherent word, or even luckier a string of words. But really though, because it's every combination of letters, technically at some point you'd find every single book that could ever have existed since at some point those letters are bound to randomly show up in a row. It's mostly a fun thought experiment about infinity and how even within randomness every so often you'll find a semblance of order.

    ​​@@johnbodreminds me of the infinite monkey theorem. Where a monkey 🐒 hits a type writer an infinte amounts times forever. Eventually, the monkey will write something like, Cormac McCarthy Blood Merdian, word for word or even Jorge Luis Borges' Labyrinths 😅

    How many pages was this book and how long is this video. Learning from the books left behind of who truly knows… how do you apply it? Should you? After you have perceived this, maybe you’ll realize your number amongst infinity in the shuffle. You’ll be back. 😂 -Nth+1

    The Wanderer's Library was directly inspired by this story.

    I hate robot voices, but this book weirdly needs it. It would creep me right the fuck out.

    For every sentence of recognizable thought there were leagues of cacophonies. That must’ve been Joe Biden‘s autobiography
