One of the biggest flaws with the interest boards, the ones focused on this or that topic, has to be the Donkey Paradox beginners go through thanks to how advice in general works.
You can wait here. Make another thread. Scroll through the archive of this board's wiki, doesn't matter. Either way, at this point youve probably had so many suggested starting lines thrown at you that shopping through them, trying to determine which is really the best, the best for you, the best for you given x, y, z conditions (maybe you work long hours, maybe you're broke, etc.) will take up all your time and effort and leave you exactly where you started.
Ultimately, your rotted brain is rotted from belief in its rot. Your starting line could be anywhere; at this point you are at your freest, not tied down by some seemingly-righteous opinion that locks you out of entire sections of literature. Given enough time and effort, you'll become overeducated enough to develop this. But here, now, with a brain that the internet tells you is ruined, you could probably jump into most books, most articles, fucking Wikipedia, and you'll be soon on your way to reading full novels.
I have a friend who's a personal trainer. People come in, want to get in shape. Their bodies are jiggly and weak, any training at all can give them much healthier physiques. But the youtubers, the influencers, the sports companies that all cater to the athletes and pros that have put in enough effort to earn themselves a plateau, they get into the minds of the fat untrained masses that you gotta buy the exact perfect pair of shoes. Do these exercises, not that. And they end up doing no exercises, while wearing a 200 dollar pair of shoes, scrolling through their phones to get encouragement from others, not to better themselves, but to be told that they just weren't cut out for training in the first place.
Just pick up a book and exercise, you'll have plenty of time to care about the specifics once you gain experience.
