May I present our lord and savior Jay Glerum (RIP). This guy literally wrote the book on stage rigging and was also the nicest guy ever. Seriously this is the place to start

That'll teach you how to do it the right way. Then you can adapt to fit your space.
That is a great book, but really doesn't teach you rigging.

Stage rigging handbook by jay O,Glerum
It's more theatrical but it makes the math and load calculations easy to understand.
Books on rigging!
One Book,
Two Books,
Three Books!
I think you've got a lot of good points in here, but I'm going to nit-pick at one:
>You can also learn about rigging from taking a look at their nightmare rigging pictures on fb.
I don't think you can glean much useful information from a picture on the internet, especially if you don't have any background knowledge to know that what you're looking at is bad. Jay Glerum's book is a good place to start for fundamental stuff - though nothing is a substitute for real world experience. I feel like looking at pictures of bad rigging makes you a rigger like looking at kittens on the internet makes you veterinarian.
Read these books. They won't make you a rigger but you'll have a better appreciation of what you are dealing with.
