ICA Miami introduces Lucy Bull's (b. 1990, New York) first U.S. museum exhibition, “Lucy Bull: The Garden of Forking Paths,” ...

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Garden of Forking Paths" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the narrative at the center of the larger story, the production of a labyrinth as a novel by Ts'ui Pen, and its translation, editing, and explanation by the sinologist Dr. Stephen Albert. The Garden of Forking Paths is that novel, which appears to be contradictory, confused, a chaos, but which represents an image of the universe as Ts'ui Pen understands it, particularly in terms of the dimension of time, which is neither linear, nor cyclical, but a much more complex network of diverging, converging, and parallel timelines To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Get Borges' Collected Fictions here - https://amzn.to/3xZnwHA

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Garden of Forking Paths" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the narrative of the spy or secret agent genre which provides the outer shell of the more metaphysical narrative nested within it. This story centers around a Chinese spy for the German Empire during World War, Dr Yu Tsun, who intends to communicate the location of a British artillery concentration on the Western front in France. Tsun is pursued by Capt Richard Madden, who has already caught one of Tsun's fellow agents, and who catches him at the house of the sinologist Dr. Stephen Albert, who fortuitously has translated and provides an explanation of the labyrinth and novel of Tsun's great grandfather Ts'ui Pen. It turns out that the novel, The Garden of Forking Paths, is the labyrinth. Tsun kills Albert just as Madden arrives, in order to be able to communicate his message to his German spymaster.

An absolutely jam-packed episode on the Tory leadership contest and the US Election VP debate. Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell are joined by Guardian quill-wielder Zoe Williams, US omni-expert Brian Klaas, and More In Common gros fromage Luke Tryl to dig out the genuinely interesting stuff from these debates (and there is plenty of genuinely interesting stuff). We craft two political silk purses from a couple of sow's ears. We're also knitting – see how seamlessly we stitch such disparate subjects together? On both sides of the Pond, important debates; on both sides of the Pond, vaguely competent performances but not so much excitement. But what can we glean from the US Vice-Presidential clash, if it can be described as a clash, and what are the takeaways from the Tory leadership speeches in Birmingham? Brian Klaas: “What is striking about [the VP debate] is what it tells you about the campaigns' goals. Normally, when a campaign thinks it's down in a race, they come out swinging… But both campaigns think they're in a safe position, which is very odd, because one of them is wrong and we don't know which one.” Brian Klaas: “A lot of professional political analysts misunderstand the public, because they think the public views politics in the same way they do. Which is that you win arguments by having better facts and making appeals to policy. A lot of politics is impressionistic.  Zoe Williams: “Kemi Badenoch's pitch is: I'm going to be as unpleasant as I can possibly be and then deny I said it. That is extraordinary. There are huge swathes of the political class in which, to deny outright that you said a thing, which you did say, is disbarring. She's singing to a different hymn book.” Zoe Williams: “Jenrick is not that clever, that's the problem. He does wrong-foot himself constantly. A huge amount of his most controversial output is accidental.”  Luke Tryl: "Our research shows that Reform voters might actually be the hardest group for the Conservatives to win back. Only one-in-ten would even consider voting Conservative again during this parliament. Calls to Action Check out More In Common and their fantastic work to build a more inclusive world.

Renowned social anthropologist Harvey Whitehouse is Director of the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Oxford and has crisscrossed the globe, living in remote parts of Papua New Guinea as well as sitting down with militias during Libya's Arab Spring uprising, in order to learn what it means to be a human. The groups that have largely been the focus of Whitehouse's work could be an organised religion, a tribe or a kingdom – but perhaps key to them all are the concepts of inherited ritual, allegiances and bias. His latest book, Inheritance: The Evolutionary Origins of the Modern World, asks a new question about how inherited frameworks inform these perspectives. As we face an era of environmental destruction, political destabilisation and wars fought by forces with ever deadlier arsenals, could the same evolutionary traits that have pushed the world towards ever more sophisticated societies now be failing us? Joining Whitehouse to talk about it for this episode is Brian Klaas, Associate Professor in Global Politics at University College London and the author of books including Fluke and Corruptible. Klaas is also a writer for The Atlantic and you can read more of him on his substack, The Garden of Forking Paths. We are sponsored by Indeed. Go to Indeed.com/IS for £100 sponsored credit.

We're wrapping up the 2023 season with a final Short Story Club, this time exploring a prime example of Postmodern fiction with Jorge Luis Borges' “The Garden of Forking Paths.” Borges is often considered one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century and credited as an early writer of magical realism, lo real maravilloso. In today's discussion, we take a close work at Borges' popular story and share our interpretations on this text that begs us to stretch our concept of time and causality and consider the infinite possibilities and choices that shape history and destiny. We also share background on Jorge Luis Borges' life as well as discuss the Argentinian writer's contribution to the literary canon. And as always, we can't help but talk about what texts we've read that use tropes and elements developed in Borges Ficciones. If you love our extra nerdy discussion on the podcast today, we have even more content to enjoy over in our Novel Pairings Patreon community.

Carrying off of the genius writing of Jorge Luis Borges I rap about choice and direction in a very confounding complicated journey through life's possibilities. What can a series of routes say about how life creates adversity and hostile agencies. Freewill, consciousness, duality, continuity.

Canadian Excellence Research Chair in Autonomous AI. Irina holds an MSc and PhD in AI from the University of California, Irvine as well as an MSc in Applied Mathematics from the Moscow Gubkin Institute. Her research focuses on machine learning, neural data analysis, and neuroscience-inspired AI. In particular, she is exploring continual lifelong learning, optimization algorithms for deep neural networks, sparse modelling and probabilistic inference, dialog generation, biologically plausible reinforcement learning, and dynamical systems approaches to brain imaging analysis. Prof. Rish holds 64 patents, has published over 80 research papers, several book chapters, three edited books, and a monograph on Sparse Modelling. She has served as a Senior Area Chair for NeurIPS and ICML. Irina's research is focussed on taking us closer to the holy grail of Artificial General Intelligence. She continues to push the boundaries of machine learning, continually striving to make advancements in neuroscience-inspired AI. In a conversation about artificial intelligence (AI), Irina and Tim discussed the idea of transhumanism and the potential for AI to improve human flourishing. Irina suggested that instead of looking at AI as something to be controlled and regulated, people should view it as a tool to augment human capabilities. She argued that attempting to create an AI that is smarter than humans is not the best approach, and that a hybrid of human and AI intelligence is much more beneficial. As an example, she mentioned how technology can be used as an extension of the human mind, to track mental states and improve self-understanding. Ultimately, Irina concluded that transhumanism is about having a symbiotic relationship with technology, which can have a positive effect on both parties. Tim then discussed the contrasting types of intelligence and how this could lead to something interesting emerging from the combination. He brought up the Trolley Problem and how difficult moral quandaries could be programmed into an AI. Irina then referenced The Garden of Forking Paths, a story which explores the idea of how different paths in life can be taken and how decisions from the past can have an effect on the present. To better understand AI and intelligence, Irina suggested looking at it from multiple perspectives and understanding the importance of complex systems science in programming and understanding dynamical systems. She discussed the work of Michael Levin, who is looking into reprogramming biological computers with chemical interventions, and Tim mentioned Alex Mordvinsev, who is looking into the self-healing and repair of these systems. Ultimately, Irina argued that the key to understanding AI and intelligence is to recognize the complexity of the systems and to create hybrid models of human and AI intelligence.

"Hush don't you cry In the next life She takes me to the water Don't say a word And when I ask her Is she doing alright She's a rollercoaster And yeah, she's a fire in the night"   In Part 1, Chapter 6 of The OA's "Forking Paths", we find ourselves in Hap's perspective, as he's in conflict with how he perceives himself among OA and the other captives and the deadly experiments he subjects to them. OA and the others have been practicing the movements and are in search of the fifth movement, while OA, in the present day, explains to the Crestwood Five that the movements will open a tunnel into another dimension, but they must do all five movements together and with perfect feeling.  Jason Isaacs spurs a terrific performance in playing a subtle, but menacing antagonist in Hap, who continues to be one of the most compelling onscreen villains of all time.  According to IMDB, the episode title, "Forking Paths", is a reference to Jorge Luis Borges' 1941 short story, "The Garden of Forking Paths". We hope you enjoyed this episode's recap and reaction by @patbertmcgill and @actuallyrichy, as we are now officially two episodes away from finishing part one of the series. Thank you again for listening, and continue to keep your front doors open.

In this episode I discuss three classic short stories by Jorge Luis Borges with my two AI friends - Marie and Charles. The direction of the conversation and their responses are not planned or scripted. This generative auto-regressive model produces surprisingly human like conversations. The two models are based on GPT models developed by Open AI and then fine tuned by me to give the two models distinct "personalities." Their responses are not just regurgitation of facts. Often their responses are extremely creative, analytical, and would pass as very original. We discuss the stories: "The Library of Babel", "The Garden of Forking Paths", and "Funes the Memorious." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bill-parker0/support

It is a homecoming of sorts. Sixteen years after David made Nathan read Jorge Luis Borges, the two return to discuss the great Argentinian writer in an episode that has as many labyrinths (well, not quite) and is as infinite (also probably not true) as every one of Borges' short stories. And while this episode does have a finite beginning and a finite end and can only focus on three of the hits (Tlön, Uqbar, Orbius Tertius, The Library of Babel, and The Garden of Forking Paths), the two still can't seem to entirely wrap their heads around the author's rapid world building, extremely high ratio of ideas vs. word count, and surprisingly playful nature. It's safe to say that we at Books of Some Substance think Borges is pretty cool. Take the litmus test: Read some JLB, then be our friend.  We'll see you at the end (or at the beginning).

K, Josh, and I were postdocs together in Jeff Schall's and Geoff Woodman's labs. K and Josh had backgrounds in psychology and were getting their first experience with neurophysiology, recording single neuron activity in awake behaving primates. This episode is a discussion surrounding their reflections and perspectives on neuroscience and psychology, given their backgrounds and experience (we reference episode 84 with György Buzsáki and David Poeppel). We also talk about their divergent paths - K stayed in academia and runs an EEG lab studying human decision-making and memory, and Josh left academia and has worked for three different pharmaceutical and tech companies. So this episode doesn't get into gritty science questions, but is a light discussion about the state of neuroscience, psychology, and AI, and reflections on academia and industry, life in lab, and plenty more.

Swiftly denying fresh blogger reports of hints about cannibalism in recent episodes, Tony and Kevin deftly divert attention to this episode's sketches. First, it's just as unbelievable to Mr. Skids that he's saved the neighborhood as it us to the listener, but nonetheless we present "Mr. Skids Saves the Neighborhood." Mr. Skids, a hard-drinking, broken man on the wrong side of fifty, is an involuntary center of attention for a coterie of slum neighbors and ne'er-do-wells. Leave the lasagna by the door. Then, we check in with Salesdog Spot, the chatty black lab who can talk and who's trying out a new career--house sitting! But complicating his work are a felonious feline companion and a nosy neighbor who makes Alice Ghostley look like a welcoming, comfy couch. Finally, a trip to the demilitarized zone between the liminal and sparkly lamé with a dramatic reading of an intentionally lost work from Jorge Luis Borges.

Are adolescents' technology use really related to depression, suicide and ADHD, or might it be no worse for kids than eating potatoes? In episode 47, Amy Orben from the University of Oxford discusses her explorations into how researchers' biases can influence their analysis of large datasets. Her article "The association between adolescent well-being and digital technology use,”  was co-authored with Andy Przybylski and published on January 14, 2019 in the journal Nature: Human Behaviour.

David and Tamler go deep into Borges’ labyrinth to discuss the fascinating, multi-dimensional story “The Garden of Forking Paths.” What is the underlying reality of this story? What demands does Borges make of his readers? What is Borges telling us about time, freedom, war, and art? Is the story itself a maze for readers to wander and lose their way? We don’t have all the answers, but it was one of our favorite discussions in a long time. Plus, we give some brief non-spoiler opinions about Boots Riley’s movie "Sorry to Bother You," but a spoiler-filled Patreon episode is coming soon.

This week we go to infinity and beyond with literature's most beguiling librarian, Jorge Luis Borges. After a discussion of his story "The Garden of Forking Paths," we move (at the 39 minute mark) to a check-in on the 1st and 2nd rounds of the NBA playoffs. Join un in a few weeks as we tackle Roberto Bolaño's The Savage Detectives.

No booktalk this week. Instead, we are joined by Lynwood to run down the matchups and results of the NBA playoffs. Take a listen, if only to hear which team inspired Lynwood to burst out in song. If basketball's not your thing, we'll be back in a week or two to discuss Jorge Luis Borges' classic story "The Garden of Forking Paths." Join us!

We finally get around to discussing A Manual for Cleaning Women, the collection of exquisite Lucia Berlin stories that was published posthumously in 2015. In a nod to the years she spent living in South America, next up we'll be reading "The Garden of Forking Paths," by the great Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. (A pdf of the story is available here: http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/files/2012/08/The-Garden-of-Forking-Paths-Jorge-Luis-Borges-1941.pdf)

OCTOBER 23rd, 2017 The Garden of Many Forking Paths - Jorge Luis Borges The Work We discuss Jorge Luis Borges' titular short story from his collection The Garden of Many Forking Paths.  An Argentine, Borge's stories were written in Spanish, and there is some legal dispute that has held the release of English translations done by Norman Thomas Di Giovanni in collaboration with Borges himself. Fans of the author have made these translations available here at the Library of Babel. The Guest Our guest is artist Felipe Posada. He is a Brooklyn, NY based artist who grew up in Latin America. We discuss the experience of growing up within an educational system learning about the Latin American literature in contrast to North American, or European centric literary education. You can find Felipe's work at The Invisible Realm,  where you can also learn about his upcoming gallery shows and purchase prints of his artwork. You can also follow him on instagram @the_invisible_realm. Felipe mentions a few other works to seek out: Carlos Castaneda's The Teachings of Don Jaun Adolfo Bioy Casares' The Invention of Morel The Norse Epic Poem The Song of the Nibelungs Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude  &  Chronicles of a Death Foretold Pairings Spirits "Vortices" A cocktail that can be served one of three ways. 2 oz Irish Whiskey 1 large spoonful Sugar 1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth 2 dashes Angostura Bitters 2 oz Black Tea (hot or iced) 1/2 oz Lemon Juice  Shake, Stir, or Serve Hot: It's up to you.

Episode press release, teaser promo, promotional photos, plus an episode title on our spoiler-only podcast of 7x03 "The Garden of Forking Paths."

Since 2008, Big Think has been sharing big ideas from creative and curious minds. Since 2015, the Think Again podcast has been taking us out of our comfort zone, surprising our guests and Jason Gots, your host, with unexpected conversation starters from Big Think’s interview archives. Today, for the first time, we welcome TWO guests to Think Again – writers Neal Stephenson & Nicole Galland – and talk to them from New York to a Los Angeles hotel room over a horrible wi-fi connection. And it all works out beautifully. Nicole’s typically a writer of historical fiction including The Fool’s Tale and Iago, and Neil’s known for complex, speculative science fiction  including Seveneaves, Snow Crash, and many other novels. Together, they’ve written a new novel: The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. – a massive and massively entertaining epic involving magic, time travel,  quantum physics, secret government organizations, and an ancient banking family called the Fuggers — with all of the jokes that implies. In this episode, we delve into Schroedinger's Cat, why humans make such terrible decisions, and how linear a story has to be to be a story at all. Surprise conversation starter interview clips in this episode: Salman Rushdie on video games and the future of storytelling, Robert Sapolsky on brain regions and impulse control Learn more about your ad choices.

Infinite Gestation goes contemporary in this episode featuring John Darnielle's debut novel, Wolf in White Van, nominated for the National Book Award in 2014. Though many know Darnielle as singer-songwriter and member of The Mountain Goats, he is making a well received foray into fiction. His first novel is in no way a vanity project and despite some flaws, stands as a fine specimen of a freshman novel. His sophomore effort Universal Harvester was released in February of this year.

Martin and Keith react to The OA Episode 6 "Forking Paths" contrasting the Beatitudes with Leon's maxim "uncover what you can, destroy the evidence, and turn a profit," exploring the multiverse, and reflecting on stories as a form of time travel. Music by Poddington Bear.

Borgescast Subcast 01! - Jeff Patterson, John E. O. Stevens and Fred Kiesche welcome back Kate Sherrod and Jonah Sutton-Morse to discuss Jose Luis Borges! Perhaps optimistically, we “assigned” four stories: Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius; The Circular Ruins; The Library of Babel; The Garden of Forking Paths—and ended up only really scratching the surface of one! It is clear that we will be back to this subject many more times (before we even start to branch off into “authors that we also like”!). Sit down, pour yourself a good port and settle in. And please let us know what stories (or essays, or poetry) you would like to see us cover next! Jorge Luis Borges on Wikipedia.

Statistician, blogger, and author Andrew Gelman of Columbia University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the challenges facing psychologists and economists when using small samples. On the surface, finding statistically significant results in a small sample would seem to be extremely impressive and would make one even more confident that a larger sample would find even stronger evidence. Yet, larger samples often fail to lead to replication. Gelman discusses how this phenomenon is rooted in the incentives built into human nature and the publication process. The conversation closes with a general discussion of the nature of empirical work in the social sciences.

Jorge Luis Borges "The Garden of Forking Paths" with Jordan Cline And C.J. Eller by Luke Johnson

Dave, Tony, and Jami discuss meta media (that is, self-referential works of art) such as Jorge Luis Borges' short story The Garden Of Forking Paths, Kurt Vonnegut's novel Breakfast Of Champions, the documentary film American Movie, and the novel House Of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.

Italo Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler is in a class of its own. This postmodern exploration of the novel contains substantial sections written in the second person (yes, SECOND person), so that the reader themself becomes a character in a quest to find (initially) the remainder of the novel begun in the first chapter. A literary adventure thus ensues, carrying on throughout the subsequent first chapters of ten different novels, stringing said reader along a series of plot lines, deceptive (and duplicitous) characters, novels within novels (within THE novel), multiple points of view and so on. Short of complicating things further, check out the episode and then read the book.

On this episode, we discuss various stories found in Jorge Luis Borges' "Fictions," and in the process might have created a labyrinth of our own. In thinking about what many “boom” writers of Latin America were playing with in their fictional work, we draw upon Kafka, parallel universes, and some other-worldly music (made on Garage Band) to help us out. Some of the highlighted stories are "The Garden of Forking Paths," "Death and the Compass," "The Library of Babel," and "The Aleph," (taken from a different collection of short stories).

Black Friday is right around the corner so we're dedicating this week's show to a conversation about the shopping habits of gamers.
