If I could "un-know" some things I know, I would definitely be a happier man. There's knowledge that comes with irremediable sadness.
I might be an outlier in that I would not do this, given the chance. If anything, I'd like to know even more; happiness be damned.
I don't know that I would either - I'm not really sure either way, not that it makes any difference anyway - I would be happier, true that, but sometimes intellectual curiosity or the thirst for knowledge are stronger. It's a hard choice and often it's made for you before you understand it

Literature tends to get that way.
I can see how the other people can feel excluded.
I've felt that way, too, when people were discussing esoteric subjects.
My solution: try to learn the esoteric subject so you can have more of a voice.
You want to hear something funny? I went back to college when I was 36 because I thought the Assistant District Attorneys where I work looked down on me because I was just a clerk.

If you stay in the room a while, and settle in, maybe you could go to, at least, adult education at San Francisco City College.

...Last question: Temporary .
I still wonder about my eyes , and the light dazzlement .
And what about the actually good SATs/National Merits I had then ?
Would I ever be able to match them ?
And , right , a college would really pay attention to a " fake " GED<sob> .

One day, you should take a sample GED, and see how you would do.
If you do well, you might as well take the test, and forget about high school records.
By the way: how long will you be able to stay in that room? Is there a time limit there?

...Just accept what Greeley did to me ?
And , again , it would be a " fake GED " .
And...I doubt I'd get as good grades now !
+ I'm crippled , no phone , etc. ~ I do this how ?

Why don't you try to take the GED? That would be indisputable evidence to a college. They have to accept you if you have a GED.
If you're in some kind of GED program, you might get access to a library again.
I don't know what your windows look like--but if you have a large window sill, you could put a piece of cardboard there.
