Not to sound stupid, but I didn't realize I was quoting anyone. Which part? I assume you are refering to "Jean Jacques Rousseau", as he appears to be the only Rousseau I could find relating to AI through various searches.
Like many things when I first started my journey into programming, I spent a HELL of a lot of time reinventing a lot of wheels that had been around for ages. (The web was non-existant and local libraries weren't any help).
Didn't have any money for books but I did have lot's of time and hair to pull out in frustration. Once I could afford books, it was quite humbling to discover most of the neat tricks I had "come up with" had been standard issue algorithims and approaches that had been around for years.
