Self- Writeousness | The Library of Babel ROCKS (and also kinda sucks) @SelfWriteousness | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
So I loved the pitch for "The Library of Babel," hated the story upon actually reading it, then loved the story *again* after a lot of thought and soul-searching (see video for details):
00:01 How I heard about this story. Hint: It's Pae Veo's Fault. And by that I mean, "Go watch his videos when you're done with *this* one, please.
01:25 The Library of Babel's daunting in-story size and rubbish concentration
03:05 Existentialism in a nutshell
04:16 A no-good very bad pick-up line / joke that philosophy majors will get but are excused from finding funny
04:50 A brief biography of Jorge Luis Borges
05:42 Why I ultimately love The Library of Babel

Also, if you want to read "The Library of Babel" for free - and let's face it, if you're one true love is philosophy, you could probably use all the free stuff you can get - here's the address for where I read it:

Thanks for visiting the channel.
I am something of an antisocial eccentric, but I am actively trying to be more of a blessing than a curse to my fellow writers.
