Current Garden Reading
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."

I find this point about prepunishment fascinating, but for a reason perhaps particular to me: I tend to think that the force of the prepunishment case doesn't depend upon whether the ability to learn of future crimes is metaphysically possible. Do others have different intuitions about this?

This video at The Onion is not quite on topic, but I think you'll enjoy it all the same.
