Upon having a few readings of "The Garden of Forking Paths" IT didn't quite connect with me until the professor mentioned that it could deal with the internet, and to check out wikipedia.
It soon made a little more sense, but not quite.
My thought was that it had something to do with the manipulation of logic, and how words are spoken. How things can come back on to themselves, or how people can interpenetrate one thing different from some one else.
My last thought was more correct at least. I couldn't help but on my secondary reading after digesting the story itself, think of Choose-your-own adventure stories. The ability of people to enter a situation at two different places and achieve different outcomes is one of the bigger themes in the story.
Alright, cool. Then something about infinate possiblities. And the internet, I still don't quite understand. I Suppose the internet is filled with infinate possibilities, anyone can post about anything. A link can take you thousands of places. Say, stumbleupon? Yeah. I guess that makes sense.
I'm so terrible with words. -.- I think in pictures, and short statements.
