La ciencia ficción ha tenido un impacto significativo en la cultura popular. No solo ha expandido la imaginación de las personas y les ha permitido soñar con posibilidades futuras y mundos imaginarios, sino que también ha inspirado a científicos e inventores a desarrollar nuevas tecnologías y dispositivos que antes parecían imposibles. Pero la ciencia ficción también ha abordado temas sociales y políticos controvertidos y ha ayudado a cambiar la percepción de la sociedad sobre ellos. Además suele abordar preguntas fundamentales sobre la existencia humana y la naturaleza de la realidad, haciéndonos cuestionar y así también, evolucionar. Vamos a hablar de ciencia ficción… desde Mary Shelley hasta las distopías literarias.

 Odcinek #69, w którym z Grzegorzem Jankowiczem wchodzimy w labirynt skojarzeń. Bohaterem naszej rozmowy jest Alberto Manguel i jego książka „Pożegnanie z biblioteką. Elegia z dziesięciorgiem napomknień” / Wydawnictwo Drzazgi/. Prowadzi nas B jak biblioteka. Próbujemy ją nazwać, podążając  śladami autora. Jej ostatecznej formy- nie ma. Szybko pojawia się B jak Borges i rzeka nieśmiertelności. Wracamy do życiorysu pisarza i do księgarni Pigmalion w Buenos Aires. Chcemy to, co spakowane -  otworzyć. Dochodzimy do wniosku, że książka jest utratą, archiwum porażki. Gubimy się i szukamy drogi, bo opowieści potrzebne są tym, którzy tracą. I jest mnóstwo dygresji. Co najmniej dziesięć. Â

David and Tamler happen across Jorge Luis Borges’ “The Zahir” and now they can’t stop thinking about it. What is the ‘Zahir’ – this object that can take many forms and that consumes the people who find it? What does it represent? Is it the fanaticism of being in love? The ever-present threat (and temptation) of idealism? A subtle critique of Christian theology? Is the Zahir a microcosm of everything? Why is Borges so obsessed with obsession?

Plus, it’s the annual drunken end-of-the night Thanksgiving ‘debate’ between Tamler and IDW stepmother extraordinaire Christina Hoff Sommers. Topics raised and then quickly dropped include Bernie for President, Melinda Gates, critic reviews of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and more. Stay tuned for the end when Christina finds her “notes”. (And for special cameos from David Sommers and Eliza).

In the famous words of the idealist philosopher George Berkeley, “To exist is to be perceived.” Our ideas and perceptions are the fundamental objects in the universe; there is no real world beyond them. Hume wrote (I think) that Berkeley’s arguments don’t admit of the slightest refutation, and they don’t inspire the slightest conviction. On Earth, that may be true. On Tlön, it’s false – the people there are “congenital idealists.” Their language, philosophy, literature, and religion presuppose idealism. It’s their common sense. And their philosophy starts to encroach on their reality. But what happens when we read and hear about Tlön – can their idealism invade our “real” world? Will we start to lose our metaphysical bearings? David and Tamler talk about Borges’s invasive, unsettling story “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.” Please listen so we can exist!

(And speaking of things that may or may not exist, we also discuss the metaphysics of holes.)

Poema Instantes do escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges

David and Tamler try to wrap their heads around Jorge Luis Borges' “The Library of Babel†– a short story about a universe/library that contains every possible book with every possible combination of characters. How many books would this library contain? Would some of the books justify our lives (if we could find them)? Can we know whether a book is deeply meaningful or deeply misleading? Why are the librarians so alone and so consumed with anguish? Wouldn’t we all just end up just looking for the porn books? Plus, we talk about the ethics of doing research on data drawn from the Ashley Madison leak. Life is short, listen to this episode.
