Mysterious book (11)

1 Name: V1C : 2015-11-12 12:19 ID:f1WvktCy [Del]

Hi guys,

recently I stumbled upon something very mysterious that I would like to share with you.
I am talking about Being or Nothingness, a mysterious book that contains mostly white pages and was sent to many universities all around the world from Sweden.
Here is an article about it: http://lukemuehlhauser.com/the-riddle-of-being-or-nothingness/

It might be a simple joke, an elaborate marketing campaign or maybe it is just a riddle waiting to be solved.
What makes it even more mysterious is that there does not seem to be much information about it - a few articles, some photos and one or two reddit threads.
I was wondering whether there are some people here who are equally obsessed with riddles and mysteries as I am and who have not heard about this.

This is interesting. I love weird, out place books with no history. I still go nuts for the Voynich Manuscript!

This made me remember about forbidden books like the Book of lies by Aleister Crowley and the books written by Aggripa (did I write that right? ) the most recent I can think of is The anarchist's cookbook.

Its about a guy who get's the authors block asking a lot of people to help him overcome his situation and make him able to continue to write the unfinished publish book. Or was it like, the guy was hoping for those people to continue his work? Either way, you people think too much.

But isn't overthinking the road to new knowledge?
Thoughts are the food of the curious.
