Search the Garden

Jorge Luis Borges

  • "Under the trees of England I meditated on this lost and perhaps mythical labyrinth. I imagined it untouched and perfect on the secret summit of some mountain; I imagined it drowned under rice paddies or beneath the sea; I imagined it infinite, made not only of eight-sided pavilions and of twisting paths but also of rivers, provinces and kingdoms. I thought of a maze of mazes, of a sinuous, ever growing maze which would take in both past and future and would somehow involve the stars."

By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth!

Coming to this very blog, a display of mystery, illusion, and philosophical prestigiditation! The Haifan Illusionist (aka Saul Smilansky) will expound on the recently discovered text "How To Think about the Problem of Free Will." Ancient sources attribute the text to the Mysterionist of South Bend, Peter van Inwagen.

The prestige will be unveiled sometime during the week of April 30th. Prepare to be amazed.

Warning: The Garden of Forking Paths is not responsible for any fainting that should occur from laws of nature being defied or the revelation of other arcana best not seen by the weak of mind. Indeed, the Garden may not be responsible for anything at all.

(Thanks to Saul Smilansky and Peter van Inwagen for agreeing to comment and provide the paper, respectively).

Was "hyphy Haifan" just too obvious?

I have to admit that it did cross my mind, but then I thought I couldn't really do multiple hyphy-themed posts. Sorry.

Wow! This should be pretty good! Thanks for arranging this!
