¿Qué pasaría si una sociedad secreta fuera capaz de elucubrar un mundo ficticio que poco a poco se apoderara de nuestra realidad? Existen infinidad de mundos sin nombre que habitamos en secreto como nuestros, utopías, si quieren, que no podemos tocar o respirar en los albores de su nacimiento, pero que poco a poco empezamos a experimentar a través del imaginario de las ideas… Mensajes encriptados de algún texto sagrado, de una ficción de símbolos murmurados por un grupo secreto de arquitectos de universos, puestos aquí en el plano material para adueñarse poco a poco de los sinsabores de la realidad. Esta fue una de las obsesiones del escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges, el laberinto de espejos que reflejan una y otra vez una historia increíble que aventura esos deseos inmateriales...

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on how the fictional world of Tlön, in the space of a decade, captivates the people of Earth and begins to disintegrate the reality of our own world, replacing Earth and its cultures with those of Tlön 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 "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the philosophical idealism that characterizes the cultures and civilization of Tlön's countries, and the difficulty of framing a heretical or paradoxical materialism. The solution to the paradox of the coins is developed by an orthodox philosopher, who proposes a idealistic pantheism or monism. This video also discusses the production of objects, hrönir as they are called, out of expectation, hope, or desire.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the ways in which the assumption of philosophical idealism, reflected in the very languages of the world of Tlön, affect not just the mindsets of the people, but even the disciplines studied and applied within it. The most important discipline is psychology, with all other disciplines being subordinate to it. Metaphysics is evaluated on aesthetics grounds and is viewed as a portion of fantasy literature.

Building a truly decentralised, peer-to-peer network, based on a built-in identity system, limits the ecosystem's interoperability with the outside world. Onboarding developers and users to Urbit was only the first hurdle. On-ramping crypto was a whole different & daunting task. Uqbar set out to build an execution layer on top of Urbit, enabling smart contracts, which would ultimately settle, via a ZK rollup, on Starknet.We were joined by Tim Galebach, founder of Uqbar, to discuss the different design choices involved, from Hoon programming DevEx to a hybrid ZK-optimistic rollup.Topics covered in this episode:Tim's backgroundUrbit explainedHow Uqbar took shapeIntegrating crypto in the Urbit stackHoon's usability and DevExAI-enabled UqbarUqbar interoperabilityRollup vs. L1 approach for UqbarHybrid ZK-optimistic rollupGetting from programming in Hoon to ZK proofsUse cases for Uqbar & UrbitEpisode links: Tim Galebach on TwitterUqbar on TwitterUrbit on TwitterUqbarThis episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain & Meher Roy.

An experiment I'm running to live tweet my interviews in the forms of questions: The first try is with ~timluc-miptev on Urbit He is constructing and coordinating a DAO that will be a Layer 1 that will start as a ZK roll-up in the Urbit ecosystem. What is a program running on the Urbit operating system? What does it mean to write to the ETH blockchain? What are the main constructs in building what you are building? What will it take to build a full layer 1 on Urbit? What is the deal with hype-farming? What do you need for a full layer 1? How do you get people on board? How do you make sure its secure? How many years does it take to build trust in an layer 1? What use cases can be solved by a layer 1? Why is Urbit the best environment for staying productive and happy as a programmer? How do you balance the money-making hype-farming with staying grounded? How do you not pump and dump? What are the hype-farming paths? What is your marketing strategy? Does Urbit have the most high end mind share like Quora did but no longer has? How can this be nurtured? What is starkware? How do you get developer mind-share in an age when the best is already post-economic? Is raising money for crypto companies better to do in a venture style as opposed to crowdfunding? How do you become an accredited investor? Who do you show the money to? What is the impact of devs being post-economic and post location? How do you do due diligence when people like being anon? Whtat is the value prop of Urbit? What is the future of gaming on Urbit? What is the difference between production programming and fun/tinkering programming? Urbit is the unifying software behind the fun factor for programmers? What is a networking operating system? What will Urbit look like in a thousand years? Behind the scenes network operating system that no one notices. Will your thing eventually work on hardware? What is it like to live in a world of bits? What is your long-term physical location ideal? Nomad? What is the main challenge of building a ZK roll-up? How does it work in ETH? How can we think about in terms of state when it comes to ETH? How do you build a small ETH program as a ZK roll up? What are the main use cases that are being created right now with ZK roll-ups? Make transactions cheaper ZK roll ups seem like strange distributed bots straight out of a Gibson Cyberpunk Novel. What is the metaverse? What will happen to real estate when crypto is fully embodied in our physical life? What does it mean to be Will-maximalist? What are the upsides to living a fully remote work life? How do you balance the upsides and downsides? What is the difference between being grounded and dependent on a physical location? What were doing in Ukraine? Why are you a Russophile? What was it like to be ungrounded quickly by war in Ukraine? How is news different when you are actually in the physical location where the news is taking place? What are input/output matches? Track what the inputs were and what they said. Test whether it turned out to be true. Say to yourself what you think is going on and test it.
This week we speak to ~fabnev-hinmur about Escape, devex with Uqbar, and being Marines in Okinawa.

Urbit is an exciting new operating system and peer-to-peer network that's simple by design, built to last forever, and 100% owned by its users. Under the hood it's a from-scratch software stack compact enough that individual developers can understand and control it completely. Urbit deconstructs the client-server model in favor of a federated network of personal servers with built-in, cryptographically-owned identity, each of which is capable of distributing and running their own applications that communicate over the Urbit network. We were joined by the Executive Director of the Urbit Foundation, Josh Lehman, who explained in depth how the Urbit ecosystem was built and now runs, the advantages of the network from user and developer perspectives, the bridge with crypto, and how the roadmap for the kernel is looking going forward.Topics covered in this episode:Josh's background and how he became involved with UrbitAn overview of Urbit and the current state of the systemWhat's changed about Urbit over the last three yearsUrbit's address space consisting of galaxies, stars and planetsWhat Urbit applications are and how they differ from iphone applications or a dAppsThe advantages of the Urbit user and developer experiencesThe connection between Urbit and cryptoThe projects currently being built on Urbit - Holium, Uqbar, TirrelWhat the roadmap for the underlying Urbit kernel looks likeHow you can get involvedEpisode links: Episode 205 - A Digital Republic Reinventing the InternetUrbitUrbit GrantsUrbit on TwitterJosh on TwitterSponsors: Steakwallet: Steakwallet is your new favorite multi-chain, mobile wallet.

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).

This time we delve back into the world of the detective novel, but in a very different way, via the great Argentinian writer, Jorge Luís Borges! We read The Death and the Compass, an amazing short story, that messes around with everything we talked about last time on the Analytic Detective! It's a very fun conversation, and despite having lots of literature talk, we managed to get into politics, of course. We hope you have fun, just like we did in various labyrinths of language, together with detectives and criminals. Stories we talked about in this episode: The Death and the Compass - http://art3idea.psu.edu/metalepsis/texts/death-compass.pdf Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius; The Aleph.

"...Ciego a las culpas, el destino puede ser despiadado con las mínimas distracciones. Dahlmann había conseguido, esa tarde, un ejemplar descabalado de las Mil y Una Noches, de Weil; ávido de examinar ese hallazgo, no esperó que bajara el ascensor y subió con apuros las escaleras; algo en la oscuridad de rozó la frente ¿un murciélago, un pájaro? En la cara de la mujer que le abrió la puerta vio grabado el horror, y la mano que se pasó por la frente salió roja de sangre. La arista de un batiente recién pintado que alguien se olvidó de cerrar le había hecho esa herida. Dahlmann logró dormir, pero a la madrugada estaba despierto y desde aquella hora el sabor de todas las cosas fue atroz. La fiebre lo gastó y las ilustraciones de las Mil y Una Noches sirvieron para decorar pesadillas. Amigos y parientes lo visitaban y con exagerada sonrisa le repetían que lo hallaban muy bien. Dahlmann los oía con una especie de débil estupor y le maravillaba que no supieran que estaba en el infierno..." FICCIONES - Jorge Luis Borges Vamos a comentar una obra del genial Jorge Luis Borges. Se trata de “Ficciones”, libro de relatos cortos que convirtieron a su autor en, posiblemente, el mejor creador de cuentos de los últimos tiempos. Jorge Luis Borges nació en Buenos Aires en 1.899. Procedía de una familia de próceres que contribuyeron a la independencia de Argentina, pero fue su padre Jorge Borges Haslam, quien rompiendo con la tradición familiar nutrida de militares, se empleó como profesor de psicología e inglés. Su madre, Leonor Acevedo Suárez, era una mujer delicada amante del arte. En su casa del barrio porteño de Palermo, Borges aprendió inglés y desde niño, con apenas seis años, confesó a sus padres su vocación de escritor e, inspirándose en un pasaje de El Quijote, redactó su primera fábula en el año 1.907: la tituló “La visera fatal”. A los diez años publicó una brillante traducción al castellano de “El príncipe feliz” de Oscar Wilde. Poco antes del inicio de la 1ª Guerra Mundial, la familia recorrió los inminentes escenarios bélicos europeos, guiados por su padre que ciego y pobre, tuvo que renunciar a su trabajo como profesor y arrastró a los suyos a París, a Milán y a Venecia hasta radicarse definitivamente en la neutral Ginebra cuando estalló el conflicto. Borges era entonces un adolescente que devoraba la obra de los escritores franceses, desde los clásicos (Voltaire o Víctor Hugo) hasta los simbolistas (Baudelaire, Verlaine o Mallermé), al mismo tiempo que descubría el expresionismo alemán; aprendió el idioma descifrando por su cuenta la inquietante novela de Gustav Meyrink, “El golem”. Hacía 1.918, la familia se traslada a España, donde residen en Barcelona y Mallorca, y el autor lee a autores españoles y escribe versos que nunca llegaron a publicarse. En Madrid trabará amistad con el notable políglota y traductor español Rafael Cansinos Assens, a quien proclamó como su maestro. También conoció a intelectuales y artistas de la talla de Valle Inclán, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Ortega y Gasset, Gómez de la Serna o Gerardo Diego. Gracias a sus traducciones fueron descubiertos en España los poetas expresionistas alemanes. De regreso en Buenos Aires, en 1.921, Fundó con otros jóvenes intelectuales la revista “Prismas” y, más tarde, la revista “Proa; firmó el primer manifiesto ultraísta argentino y tras un segundo viaje a Europa, publicó su primer libro de versos “Fervor de Buenos Aires”, 1.923. Seguirán entonces numerosas publicaciones, algunos libros de poemas y otros de ensayos como “Inquisiciones”, “El tamaño de mi esperanza” y “El idioma de los argentinos”. Durante los años treinta su fama creció en Argentina y su actividad intelectual se vinculó a Victoria Ocampo y Silvina Ocampo que le presentaron a Adolfo Bioy Casares, con quién colabora asiduamente. Ejerce la crítica literaria y continua con sus traducciones (Virginia Woolf, Faulkner, etc.) y publica antologías con sus amigos. En 1.931 colabora en la fundación de la emblemática revista “El Sur”, en torno a la cual se moverá lo mejor de letras argentinas de esos años. En 1.938 comienza a trabajar como bibliotecario en las afueras de Buenos Aires y durante las navidades de ese año sufre un grave accidente, provocado por su progresiva falta de visión, que a punto estuvo a punto de costarle la vida; al agudizarse su ceguera, Borges deberá dictar sus escritos a su madre, a sus amigos. En 1.940 publica junto a Bioy Casares y Silvina Ocampo, ahora casados, la espléndida “Antología de la literatura fantástica” y una “Antología poética argentina”. En 1.944 sale su libro “Ficciones”; es la obra con la que se inicia su madurez literaria y el pleno reconocimiento en su país, y en todo el mundo. En 1.945 llega a la Argentina el peronismo y Borges tuvo problemas al ser crítico con el nuevo régimen. Al caer, en 1.955, el peronismo, el nuevo gobierno lo designará director de la Biblioteca Nacional e ingresa en la Academia Argentina de las Letras; anteriormente, había publicado “El Aleph”, nuevas antologías de cuentos y numerosos ensayos. A partir de entonces, Borges recibe múltiples premios, doctorados honoris causa y su celebridad ya es universal. En 1.974 el peronismo vuelve a trunfar en Argentina y, dos años después, Borges, cuya autorizada voz resonaba internacionalmente, saludó el derrocamiento del Partido Peronista por la Junta Militar Argentina, aunque se arrepintió enseguida cuando la implacable represión de Jorge Videla comenzó a cobrarse numerosas víctimas y empezaron a proliferar los desaparecidos entre los escritores. El propio Borges, en compañía de Ernesto Sábato y otros, se entrevisto con el dictador para interesarse por el paradero de sus colegas “desaparecidos. De todos modos el mal estaba hecho; su actitud inicial le granjeó firmes enemistades en Europa y un académico sueco manifestó públicamente que jamás recibiría el Premio Nobel por razones políticas. Sin embargo se alzaron voces, cada vez más numerosas, denunciando esa actitud y pidiendo ese preciado premio para Borges, merecedor, sin duda del mismo. Pocos años antes de su muerte, ya octogenario, Borges contrae matrimonio con María Kodama, una mujer mucho más joven que él, y que fue su secretaría y lazarillo y a la que nombraría su heredera universal. “Ficciones” es un libro de relatos compuesto de dos parte: “El jardín de los senderos que se bifurcan” y “Artificios”. En la primera, siete cuentos: “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”: Borges junto a su amigo Bioy Casares discuten una noche sobre literatura cuando, al observar un espejo al fondo de un corredor, este recuerda una frase memorable de un heresiarca de Uqbar sobre lo abominable de los espejos y de la paternidad; esto los lleva a investigar sobre ese antiguo reino y descubrir un terrible secreto.”Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote”: Borges narra el intento, por parte de Pierre Menard, de reproducir la obra de Miguel de Cervantes. “Las ruinas circulares”: relato de los acontecimientos disparados por el desembarco de un anciano en una isla que posee unas ruinas circulares dañadas por el fuego. “La lotería en Babilonia”: en la antigüa Babilonia existe una lotería que comienza premiando determinados números, y que luego, debido a la nula moral de esos sorteos, instituye las suertes adversas para así enfrentar a los compradores de los números al doble albur de ganar una suma o sufrir alguna multa. Al multiplicarse los fraudes contra la Compañía, institución encargada de los sorteos, esta cambia las multas por día de cárcel, y así comienza a ganar poder hasta llegar a ser omnipotene y ubicua. “Examen de la obra de Herbert Quain”: este cuento empieza con la mención de la muerte de Herbert Quain, y continua con el análisis crítico de su obra. “La biblioteca de Babel”: Borges analiza las posibilidades de esta biblioteca, compuesta de galerías hexagonales que poseen, cada una, un pozo en su centro, cuatro paredes recubiertas de veinte anaqueles distribuidos a razón de cinco por cada una de ellas. Cada galería conecta con otra idéntica; cada anaquel alberga 32 libros compuestos por 410 páginas que contienen 40 renglones con ochenta letras cada uno. Los libros son uniformes y el alfabeto consta de 25 caracteres...”El jardín de los senderos que se bifurcan”: se trata de un relato policial que cuenta el hallazgo por parte del doctor Yu Tsun, de un laberinto infinito, mientras escapa de un hombre que está dispuesto a matarlo. En “Artificios” 2ª parte de la obra: “Funes el memorioso”: trata de la historia de Ireneo Funes, un muchacho que, tras un accidente con un caballo, queda tullido y sufre una modificación de su memoria. “La forma de la espada”: se narra la historia de la cicatriz de un hombre que constituye, según confiesa, la seña de una traición y de una cobardía. “Tema del traidor y del héroe”: Irlanda, 1.824, Fergus Kilpatrick relata su traición en una conspiración para derrocar a los ingleses. “La muerte y la brújula”: relato policial en el que la investigación de tres crímenes entrelazados entre sí acaban en uno último, cuya víctima será el detective protagonista. “El milagro secreto”: tras el arresto y posterior condena a muerte por la Gestapo de un intelectual judío, ocurre un milagro instantes antes de su ejecución. “Tres versiones de Judas”: Un miembro de la Unión Evangélica Nacional realiza una apología de Judas Iscariote, una vindicación de sus actos. “El fin”: Recabarren miró en el horizonte que un jinete llega a la pulpería; era a quien llevaba esperando 7 años….”La secta del fénix”: Borgen narra la historia y los secretos de una secta que es ubicua y cuyos miembros son insospechados. Su único rito consiste en una acción juzgada como penosa, vergonzante. “El Sur”: se narra la desventura de Juan Dahlmann, iniciada una tarde de Febrero cuando, por un descuido, la arista de un batiente en las escaleras de su casa le produce una herida en la frente y cae enfermo. Su suerte quedaría sellada por ese hecho y por el viaje posterior, al sur, para convalecer en una estancia de su propiedad.
