I’m currently reading “Madness & Civilization” by Michel Foucault and there are several paragraphs here that completely elude my intellect and absolutely require the internet for me to fully grasp it. This got me thinking, how did the poor souls from the 60s cope up with books like these? How did the freaks who read these books for fun get their doubts cleared?

you lived with some ignorance. as other said you could get books or magazine. but even those were hard to get as a young person. I had questions about certain topics that didnt get answered for 1 or 2 decades because of the internet. i just always lived with not knowing what something was. For more mainstream things, those were answered easily. Even up to the early 2000s things were hard to find online. search engines operated differently before google came along, so even it was hard to find things on the internet. Before it was like a directory where you had to list your website on search engines.
