David and Tamler go deep into Borges\u2019 labyrinth to discuss the fascinating, multi-dimensional story \u201cThe Garden of Forking Paths.\u201d What is the underlying reality of this story? What demands does Borges make of his readers? What is Borges telling us about time, freedom, war, and art? Is the story itself a maze for readers to wander and lose their way? We don\u2019t have all the answers, but it was one of our favorite discussions in a long time. Plus, we give some brief non-spoiler opinions about Boots Riley\u2019s movie "Sorry to Bother You," but a spoiler-filled Patreon episode is coming soon.
