Ines Testoni"Essere eterni"Manifesto contro la morteIl Saggiatore Editorewww.ilsaggiatore.comUna delle cose che abbiamo compreso nel corso della nostra storia è che la morte è, tra tutte, l'esperienza più universale e ineludibile. Eppure, nello stesso momento in cui noi esseri umani abbiamo realizzato la sua esistenza, abbiamo anche iniziato a desiderare il suo superamento. Questo desiderio ha dato vita nei millenni a superstizioni fugaci e religioni millenarie, visioni mistiche e fantasie letterarie, sistemi filosofici complessi e ricerche scientifiche postumane, ma ognuna di queste soluzioni ha finito per alimentare una ulteriore voglia di allontanare i limiti che la biologia ci ha imposto. In queste pagine Ines Testoni ripercorre la tradizione del pensiero occidentale per offrire nuove risposte a un presente assieme colmo di disincanto rispetto alla possibilità di una vita spirituale dopo la morte e ossessionato dalla necessità di sconfiggere il tempo. Ripercorrendo le riflessioni di Parmenide sul nulla assoluto, «impensabile» e «inesprimibile», e gli studi della psichiatra Elisabeth Kübler-Ross sui malati terminali, la sensazione di eternità provata e descritta tra gli altri da Jorge Luis Borges e le conclusioni di Baruch Spinoza o Emanuele Severino, Testoni tenta di individuare una nuova via per superare il terrore dell'annientamento senza finire in derive autoritarie o nichilistiche. Essere eterni è un manifesto per liberarci dall'angoscia della fine. Un invito a ripensare il rapporto tra tempo, morte e trascendenza in modo non dogmatico, riconoscendo attraverso la ragione ciò che siamo davvero: esseri in bilico tra il desiderio di assoluto e la coscienza della nostra fragilità. Perché quando riusciremo a scoprire ciò che ci rende, da sempre, immortali, allora potremo anche trovare un modo radicalmente nuovo di vivere questa esistenza.Ines Testoni (Brescia, 1957) è professoressa di Psicologia sociale e Psicologia delle relazioni di fine-vita, perdita e morte presso l'Università di Padova, dove dirige anche il master Death Studies & the End of Life e il corso di perfezionamento di CAT: Creative Arts Therapies, finalizzato al supporto di persone discriminate. Con il Saggiatore ha pubblicato Il grande libro della morte (2021) e Il terzo sesso (2023).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.”Episódio de hoje: Horrores cotidianos do Mundo Flutuante (“Agujero”, de Hiroko Oyamada)Obras citadas: “Agujero”, Hiroko Oyamada (Impedimenta, 2021); “Contos de Assombro”, Alcebiades Diniz Miguel (Org.)

Some attributes of the paranormal mind are dismissed as nonsense, but what can an exploration of pseudoscientific phenomena tell us about accepted scientific and cultural thought? In Parascientific Revolutions: The Science and Culture of the Paranormal, Derek Lee traces the evolution of psi epistemologies and uncovers how these ideas have migrated into scientific fields such as quantum physics and neurology, as well as diverse literary genres including science fiction, ethnic literature, and even government training manuals. Here, Lee is joined in conversation with Alicia Puglionesi.Derek Lee is author of Parascientific Revolutions: The Science and Culture of the Paranormal and assistant professor of literature at Wake Forest University.Alicia Puglionesi is a lecturer in the medicine, science, and humanities program at Johns Hopkins University and is author of Common Phantoms and In Whose Ruins: Power, Possession, and the Landscapes of American Empire and Common Phantoms: An American History of Psychic Science.REFERENCES:Society for Psychical ResearchRoger LuckhurstStargate ProjectIngo SwannStar Fire / Ingo SwannPsitronAdrian DobbsPhilip K. DickWilliam Butler YeatsJoseph E. UscinskiPraise for the book:“Derek Lee engages the ‘pseudoscience' moniker, that ultimate rhetorical insult, and seeks to replace it with a more accurate ‘parascience'—a place where science and that which is other than science meet and express themselves in literally global pathways as distinct as pulp and science fiction, environmental thought, Asian and Indigenous ways of knowing, U.S. secret espionage, and ethnic fiction. Lee shows all of this with consummate skill and rigor, pushing us beyond our present impasses. This thing is not going away. This is a revolution.”—Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of How to Think Impossibly“Derek Lee delves into the rich history of the paranormal to instigate a captivating discussion of its influence on literature and science into the twenty-first century through SF and ethnic fictions with the unproven concepts of parascience—precognition, telekinesis, clairvoyance, spectral communication, and telepathy. A classic in the making!”—Isiah Lavender III, author of Afrofuturism RisingParascientific Revolutions: The Science and Culture of the Paranormal by Derek Lee is available from University of Minnesota Press.

Hay cuentos que parecen haber sido escritos para leerse en voz alta, con un vaso en la mano y la mirada fija en una esquina del pasado. Este es uno de ellos.Lo escribió Borges, sí, pero no el Borges de los espejos y los laberintos, sino el del arrabal y el compadrito. Ese Borges que caminaba el sur de Buenos Aires con una oreja atenta a lo que se decía entre vasos, en los patios, en las esquinas de tierra.Hombre de la esquina rosada no es un cuento cualquiera: es un relato que parece contado por un tipo que no quiere contarlo. O que lo cuenta a medias, como quien se limpia las manos en la narración para no quedar pegado.Gracias a los que siguen este podcast, escriben y comparten historias por acá.

The human brain is so unbelievably complex that we barely understand its most basic functions. According to the British neuroscientist Daniel Yon, our brains - which some speculate are the most mysteriously complicated things in the universe - might even have minds of their own. In his latest book, A Trick of the Mind, Yon argues that our brains quite literally create our own realities. So is all reality entirely subjective, then? Not quite. Yon describes the brain as functioning like a scientist, constantly generating predictive models based on past experiences to interpret ambiguous sensory data. Rather than passively receiving information, we actively construct our perceptions through these mental frameworks. This isn't pure subjectivity, though—it's what he calls a "duet" between external stimuli and internal predictions. Our brains need these biases and preconceptions to make any sense of the world's overwhelming complexity. Without them, we'd be lost in what Yon calls "chaotic, volatile, unstable mystery." It all sounds like something out of a particularly fabulistic Jorge Luis Borges short story. Maybe it is. 1. Your brain acts like a scientist, not a camera The brain doesn't passively receive reality—it actively generates theories and predictions about the world based on past experiences. We're constantly creating models to interpret ambiguous sensory data, making perception an active construction rather than passive reception.2. Some biases are actually rational necessities Contrary to behavioral economics' focus on "irrational" biases, Yon argues that preconceptions and biases are often essential for making sense of an ambiguous world. Without these mental frameworks, we'd be overwhelmed by raw sensory data—lost in "chaotic, volatile, unstable mystery."3. We're "prisoners of our own pasts" Our brains use past experiences to predict and interpret the present, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. This explains why changing entrenched thought patterns is so difficult—we literally perceive the world through filters created by our history, both personal and cultural.4. Knowledge-seeking has the same neural currency as basic survival drives The brain treats new information and understanding with the same reward systems it uses for food or water. This explains why humans pursue knowledge even at personal risk (like students studying philosophy under Communist surveillance)—our "wanderlust" is biologically encoded.5. Mental health differences reflect alternative predictive models, not deficits Depression, anxiety, and neurodivergent conditions can be understood as different ways the brain models reality rather than as illnesses or deficits. In unpredictable environments, anxiety might be a perfectly rational response to perceived instability.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Pierre Menard, Author Of The Quixote" which can be found in Collected Fictions. If focuses specifically on the main portion of the story, where the author discusses Pierre Menard's "other, subterranean, interminably heroic production", namely that of writing the Don Quixote, a project which he was able to carry out in part before his death. We look at the inspiration, the motivation and intention, and the method of this work, and the author's own assessments of the superiority of Menard's over Cervantes' Quixote.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Pierre Menard, Author Of The Quixote" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses specifically on the first portion of the story, where the author discusses Pierre Menard's visible work, of which he provides a definitive and chonological listing, supplemented by "a few vague sonnets", and certain portions of Don Quixote. In this video, we look at some of the common themes, features, and preoccupations of Menard's writing.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Shape Of The Sword" which can be found in Collected Fictions. Borges listens to a story told by a former Irish revolutionary, marked by a scar across his face. the narrative centers on a physically cowardly and intellectually arrogant comrade, John Vincent Moon, who the narrator will save and protect and then be betrayed by to the British. It will turn out that the narrator himself is that very person Moon, and that he has told the story in that manner to get a full hearing. He then demands that Borges despise him.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Theologians" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It centers on a (perhaps one-way) rivalry between two Christian theologians, Aurelian and John of Pannonia, in a time when the Christian church is struggling with a number of heresies, some opposed to each other. John and Aurelian both produce refutations of one heresy, and then when Aurelian uses a passage from John's earlier refutation in a new refutation of a different heresy, John is condemned as a heretic. In the end, Borges suggests, there might not be any real difference between the two men 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

Jorge Luis Borges was a librarian with rock star status, a stimulus for magical realism who was not a magical realist, and a wholly original writer who catalogued and defined his own precursors. It's fitting that he was fascinated by paradoxes, and his most famous stories are fantasias on themes at the heart of this series: dreams, mirrors, recursion, labyrinths, language and creation. Marina and Chloe explore Borges's fiction with particular focus on two stories: ‘The Circular Ruins' and ‘The Aleph'. They discuss the many contradictions and puzzles in his life and work, and the ways in which he transformed the writing of his contemporaries, successors and distant ancestors.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Deutsches Requiem" which can be found in Collected Fictions. The story is narrated in the voice of an unrepentant Nazi about to be executed for war crimes, Otto Dietrich zur Linde. He claims to be inspired in his life and in his activity within the Nazi party by great people in philosophy, literature, and music, and argues that we are now entering a new age of violence, which Nazi Germany helped to steer the world towards, even though it has to be sacrificed in the process 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

⸻ Podcast: Redefining Society and Technologyhttps://redefiningsocietyandtechnologypodcast.com _____________________________This Episode's SponsorsBlackCloak provides concierge cybersecurity protection to corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals to protect against hacking, reputational loss, financial loss, and the impacts of a corporate data breach.BlackCloak:  https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb_____________________________A Musing On Society & Technology Newsletter Written By Marco Ciappelli | Read by TAPE3August 18, 2025The Narrative Attack Paradox: When Cybersecurity Lost the Ability to Detect Its Own Deception and the Humanity We Risk When Truth Becomes OptionalReflections from Black Hat USA 2025 on Deception, Disinformation, and the Marketing That Chose Fiction Over FactsBy Marco CiappelliSean Martin, CISSP just published his analysis of Black Hat USA 2025, documenting what he calls the cybersecurity vendor "echo chamber." Reviewing over 60 vendor announcements, Sean found identical phrases echoing repeatedly: "AI-powered," "integrated," "reduce analyst burden." The sameness forces buyers to sift through near-identical claims to find genuine differentiation.This reveals more than a marketing problem—it suggests that different technologies are being fed into the same promotional blender, possibly a generative AI one, producing standardized output regardless of what went in. When an entire industry converges on identical language to describe supposedly different technologies, meaningful technical discourse breaks down.But Sean's most troubling observation wasn't about marketing copy—it was about competence. When CISOs probe vendor claims about AI capabilities, they encounter vendors who cannot adequately explain their own technologies. When conversations moved beyond marketing promises to technical specifics, answers became vague, filled with buzzwords about proprietary algorithms.Reading Sean's analysis while reflecting on my own Black Hat experience, I realized we had witnessed something unprecedented: an entire industry losing the ability to distinguish between authentic capability and generated narrative—precisely as that same industry was studying external "narrative attacks" as an emerging threat vector.The irony was impossible to ignore. Black Hat 2025 sessions warned about AI-generated deepfakes targeting executives, social engineering attacks using scraped LinkedIn profiles, and synthetic audio calls designed to trick financial institutions. Security researchers documented how adversaries craft sophisticated deceptions using publicly available content. Meanwhile, our own exhibition halls featured countless unverifiable claims about AI capabilities that even the vendors themselves couldn't adequately explain.But to understand what we witnessed, we need to examine the very concept that cybersecurity professionals were discussing as an external threat: narrative attacks. These represent a fundamental shift in how adversaries target human decision-making. Unlike traditional cyberattacks that exploit technical vulnerabilities, narrative attacks exploit psychological vulnerabilities in human cognition. Think of them as social engineering and propaganda supercharged by AI—personalized deception at scale that adapts faster than human defenders can respond. They flood information environments with false content designed to manipulate perception and erode trust, rendering rational decision-making impossible.What makes these attacks particularly dangerous in the AI era is scale and personalization. AI enables automated generation of targeted content tailored to individual psychological profiles. A single adversary can launch thousands of simultaneous campaigns, each crafted to exploit specific cognitive biases of particular groups or individuals.But here's what we may have missed during Black Hat 2025: the same technological forces enabling external narrative attacks have already compromised our internal capacity for truth evaluation. When vendors use AI-optimized language to describe AI capabilities, when marketing departments deploy algorithmic content generation to sell algorithmic solutions, when companies building detection systems can't detect the artificial nature of their own communications, we've entered a recursive information crisis.From a sociological perspective, we're witnessing the breakdown of social infrastructure required for collective knowledge production. Industries like cybersecurity have historically served as early warning systems for technological threats—canaries in the coal mine with enough technical sophistication to spot emerging dangers before they affect broader society.But when the canary becomes unable to distinguish between fresh air and poison gas, the entire mine is at risk.This brings us to something the literary world understood long before we built our first algorithm. Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentine writer, anticipated this crisis in his 1940s stories like "On Exactitude in Science" and "The Library of Babel"—tales about maps that become more real than the territories they represent and libraries containing infinite books, including false ones. In his fiction, simulations and descriptions eventually replace the reality they were meant to describe.We're living in a Borgesian nightmare where marketing descriptions of AI capabilities have become more influential than actual AI capabilities. When a vendor's promotional language about their AI becomes more convincing than a technical demonstration, when buyers make decisions based on algorithmic marketing copy rather than empirical evidence, we've entered that literary territory where the map has consumed the landscape. And we've lost the ability to distinguish between them.The historical precedent is the 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast, which created mass hysteria from fiction. But here's the crucial difference: Welles was human, the script was human-written, the performance required conscious participation, and the deception was traceable to human intent. Listeners had to actively choose to believe what they heard.Today's AI-generated narratives operate below the threshold of conscious recognition. They require no active participation—they work by seamlessly integrating into information environments in ways that make detection impossible even for experts. When algorithms generate technical claims that sound authentic to human evaluators, when the same systems create both legitimate documentation and marketing fiction, we face deception at a level Welles never imagined: the algorithmic manipulation of truth itself.The recursive nature of this problem reveals itself when you try to solve it. This creates a nearly impossible situation. How do you fact-check AI-generated claims about AI using AI-powered tools? How do you verify technical documentation when the same systems create both authentic docs and marketing copy? When the tools generating problems and solving problems converge into identical technological artifacts, conventional verification approaches break down completely.My first Black Hat article explored how we risk losing human agency by delegating decision-making to artificial agents. But this goes deeper: we risk losing human agency in the construction of reality itself. When machines generate narratives about what machines can do, truth becomes algorithmically determined rather than empirically discovered.Marshall McLuhan famously said "We shape our tools, and thereafter they shape us." But he couldn't have imagined tools that reshape our perception of reality itself. We haven't just built machines that give us answers—we've built machines that decide what questions we should ask and how we should evaluate the answers.But the implications extend far beyond cybersecurity itself. This matters far beyond. If the sector responsible for detecting digital deception becomes the first victim of algorithmic narrative pollution, what hope do other industries have? Healthcare systems relying on AI diagnostics they can't explain. Financial institutions using algorithmic trading based on analyses they can't verify. Educational systems teaching AI-generated content whose origins remain opaque.When the industry that guards against deception loses the ability to distinguish authentic capability from algorithmic fiction, society loses its early warning system for the moment when machines take over truth construction itself.So where does this leave us? That moment may have already arrived. We just don't know it yet—and increasingly, we lack the cognitive infrastructure to find out.But here's what we can still do: We can start by acknowledging we've reached this threshold. We can demand transparency not just in AI algorithms, but in the human processes that evaluate and implement them. We can rebuild evaluation criteria that distinguish between technical capability and marketing narrative.And here's a direct challenge to the marketing and branding professionals reading this: it's time to stop relying on AI algorithms and data optimization to craft your messages. The cybersecurity industry's crisis should serve as a warning—when marketing becomes indistinguishable from algorithmic fiction, everyone loses. Social media has taught us that the most respected brands are those that choose honesty over hype, transparency over clever messaging. Brands that walk the walk and talk the talk, not those that let machines do the talking.The companies that will survive this epistemological crisis are those whose marketing teams become champions of truth rather than architects of confusion. When your audience can no longer distinguish between human insight and machine-generated claims, authentic communication becomes your competitive advantage.Most importantly, we can remember that the goal was never to build machines that think for us, but machines that help us think better.The canary may be struggling to breathe, but it's still singing. The question is whether we're still listening—and whether we remember what fresh air feels like.Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society. Especially now, when the stakes have never been higher, and the consequences of forgetting have never been more real. End of transmission.___________________________________________________________Marco Ciappelli is Co-Founder and CMO of ITSPmagazine, a journalist, creative director, and host of podcasts exploring the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society.

Eis que, seis anos depois, chegamos à edição de número 200 do podcast. É uma marca bem importante. Bom ver o trabalho tendo essa longevidade. Como não poderia deixar de ser, agradeço imensamente a todos vocês pela companhia ao longo dessa jornada. Para celebrar a marca, um episódio um pouco diferente. Um bate-papo entre leitores com um leitor que admiro pra caramba. Falo de Júlio Pimentel Pinto, que já esteve aqui em outras duas ocasiões. No episódio 191 conversamos sobre Jorge Luis Borges, uma de suas paixões. Antes, no episódio 179, havíamos papeado a respeito do livro mais recente de Júlio: “Sobre Literatura e História: Como a Ficção Constrói a Experiência”. Júlio é ensaísta, crítico literário e professor no departamento de história da Universidade de São Paulo e há cerca de 40 anos pesquisa a relação entre nosso passado e a ficção. Espero que curtam essa conversa sobre leitura, crítica, bibliotecas, desafios do dia a dia e, claro, paixão pelos livros e pela literatura. * Aqui o caminho para a newsletter da Página Cinco: https://paginacinco.substack.com/

Deux avions quittent Buenos Aires avec à bord des centaines de membres des familles des disparus, en direction des Falklands selon la dénomination britannique. Au cimetière, que beaucoup découvrent pour la première fois, presque toutes les tombes portent enfin des noms. C'est un très grand moment d'émotion pour tous. Geoffrey Cardozo qui n'a cessé de penser à la douleur des mères, voit l'aboutissement d'une mission.   Avec Julio Aro ancien combattant argentin, Gaby Cociffi, journaliste argentine, le docteur Morris Tidball-Binz de la Croix Rouge internationale et la voix de Jorge Luis Borges lisant un de ses poèmes.   Une enquête d'Anne Brunswic en collaboration avec Yvan Amar. Avec la voix de l'acteur Alain Berlioux (Julio Aro et Borges).

Trev Downey reads and then discusses The Gospel According To Mark by Jorge Luis Borges

Born from grief, exile, intellectual ferment and the ‘year without a summer', Frankenstein is a creation myth with its own creation myth. Mary Shelley's novel is a foundational work of science fiction, horror and trauma narrative, and continues to spark reinvention and reinterpretation. In their fourth conversation together, Adam Thirlwell and Marina Warner explore Shelley's treatment of birth, death, monstrosity and the limits of science. They discuss Frankenstein's philosophical and personal undercurrents, and how the creature and his creator have broken free from the book. Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

Nous sommes en 1941. Cette année-là est publié, à Buenos Aires, un recueil intitulé « El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan » (Le jardin aux sentiers qui bifurquent). L'ouvrage est signé Jorge Luis Borges qui, à l'époque, à quarante-deux ans. Parmi les textes proposés par l'auteur plusieurs fois nommé pour le prix Nobel de littérature, on retrouve « La bibliothèque de Babel ». L'Argentin y conçoit un univers où serait rassemblés tous les livres pouvant être produits par combinaison aléatoire des lettres d'un alphabet choisi. Ce fantasme d'une bibliothèque totale, contenant tous les savoirs de l'humanité, n'est pas neuf : on en trouve des sources chez certains philosophes de l'antiquité gréco-romaine, plus tard chez le philosophe allemand Leibniz ou chez les Encyclopédistes du siècle des Lumières. Borges, d'ailleurs, attribue la paternité du concept à l'un des pères de la psychologie expérimentale, Gustav Théodore Fechner. Quelle est, réellement, la valeur ajoutée d'un tel savoir ? La bibliothèque de Babel, parce qu'elle contient tout, n'est-elle pas parfaitement dénué de sens ? Internet, aujourd'hui, par sa volonté totalisante, en est-il l'effrayante réalisation ? Si toutes ces choses nous dépassent, tentons, malgré tout, de ne pas les ignorer … Avec nous : Jean-Louis Migeot, professeur d'acoustique à l'Université Libre de Bruxelles au conservatoire de Musique de Liège.

Pete Townshend is the songwriter, guitarist and co-founder of The Who. The band first stormed the pop charts sixty years ago, with teenage anthems including I Can't Explain, Substitute and My Generation. Broader songwriting ambitions led him to create the rock opera Tommy in 1969, and the concept album Quadrophenia four years later. Both projects were adapted as films, and Quadrophenia has now been staged as a ballet by Sadlers Wells. Throughout the seventies, The Who were regarded as the biggest and loudest live act in the world. They played at Woodstock, at Live Aid, Live 8 and the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony. Despite the deaths of drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwhistle, Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey continue to perform as The Who. Pete Townshend talks to John Wilson about the influence of his parents, who were both musicians. His father, the saxophonist Cliff Townshend, played in the popular dance band The Squadronaires, but it was his mother Betty, a singer, who was most supportive of Pete's early musical talent. Seeing Bill Haley and The Comets at Edgware Road Odeon in 1956 was another formative moment that introduced the teenage Townshend to the possibilities of a rock 'n' roll performance. Pete also reveals how his art school tutor Roy Ascot, who was head of the Ground Course at Ealing Art School, shaped his his approach to his band that was to become The Who. He also recounts how reading Labyrinths, a book of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges on the first US Who tour in 1967 opened his imagination and helped him expand his musical storytelling.
