NP but physics and philosophy I can understand and with Borges

[Jeff Sunbury]

Great article. Thanks. Not just quantum snake oil.

Charles Dodson:
"Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe
impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was
younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've
believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

William James:
"There are no differences but differences of degree between different
degrees of difference and no difference." - William James - from his paper
'On the Effects of Nitrous Oxide Gas' (1902)

Jorge Luis Borges:

The film consists of interviews in English with Borges, as well as short
dramatizations in Spanish of several of his stories. There are no
subtitles, but the dialogue in the dramatizations is fairly sparse.

Dramatizations include:

Funes the Memorious
The Circular Ruins
The South
Death and the Compass
The Encounter
