The Gray Man who Dreamed (Borges' "Shakespeare's Memory") is the 308th episode of the Very Bad Wizards podcast, released on May 06, 2025.



David and Tamler return to their happy place and talk about two pieces by JL Borges – the story "Shakespeare's Memory" and the [essay/story/poem/literary sketch??] "Everything and Nothing."  What would it mean to have the memory of a supreme artist like Shakespeare? Would it help us understand his work, or how he was able to produce masterpiece after masterpiece What does it mean to have our own memories? How does all this connect to our sense of self? Plus cancel culture comes to Cornell, but don't worry it's about that one thing it's fine to cancel people over. Cornell President's NYT Op-Ed March 31, 2025  "Universities like the one I run aren't afraid to let people argue" Kehlani speaks out after Cornell cancels her Slope Day appearance over 'hateful views' [cnycentral.com] Cornell Musicians Oppose Kehlani's Cancellation [cornellsun.com] Shakespeare's Memory by Jorge Luis Borges [wikipedia.org] Everything and Nothing by Jorge Luis Borges [dilipsimeon.blogspot.com]
