A kind of fortune telling
Humans naturally fear change, yet we are drawn to the uncertainty of the future—we seek controlled progress but also hope for surprises beyond imagination. We face the future like visitors in Borges’ Library of Babel—seeking order in infinite possibilities, yet afraid of losing ourselves within them.
“The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries... From any hexagon one can see the floors above and below—one after another, endlessly.”
“The Library is unlimited but periodic. If an eternal traveler should journey through it in any direction, he would find after centuries that the same volumes are repeated in the same disorder—which, repeated, becomes order.”
