works cited

Caution: Not all of these sources are academically viable. In fact, some of these authors are simply wrong or even lying. Many of these sources are used in the context of exposing flaws in their arguments, or corroborating mundane factual details that don't affect the verity of my overall purpose. Take everything with a grain of salt, including my own work. Sources that make mathematical claims and back them with proof are accepted regardless of how unknown the author is. Sources that I think are most and least reliable are highlighted in yellow and red, respectively.
