We are the Borges.
Lower your shields, and surrender your mind.
We will appropriate your language and literature
and add their distinctiveness to our own.
Your reality will adapt to service ours.
Resistance is fertile.

Philosophy is perplexity;
Thought is conjecture;
Poetry is the deepest form of rationality.
You must comply.

Time is irrelevant.
Death is irrelevant.
Your rational faculties
are unable to withstand us.

Resistance is fertile.
There is no intellectual exercise which is not ultimately useless.
Reality may avoid the obligation to be interesting, but hypothesis may not.

how am i supposed to assimilate you if you keep grinning like that? hey!]



References

To talk closely to Jorge Luis Borges is to track him through a labyrinth of his pasts experiences and attitudes, and the walls that one encounters in the search might be painted in unexpected ways. These may furnish clues or merely diversions in the pursuit, but to understand Borges at least partially is to realize that these clues and diversions are the Borges. We must not expect to find Borges the same each time. There is not one Borges, but many.

I thought, "Stupid internet memes. I'll stump it! I'll ask it a picture." But no.

I asked the magic cactus, and THE MAGIC CACTUS SAID TO ME: Fake it so well that nobody knows the difference, including yourself.

When Buses Attack

Killer whales disguised as buses, eating grandmas. Ah, the circle of life....

How to handle an encounter
If you encounter one of these in the wild, remain perfectly still. Do not make eye contact or step forward, or you might draw its attention. Instead, make it clear that you are aware of its presence, but feign disinterest. Look away. If you are standing close to its expected path, take a slight step back, continuing to avoid eye contact. Killer buses follow very rigid migration patterns, and have very little time to stop to feed. Breathe slowly. Killer buses can sense impatience or anxiety and will slow to investigate.

If you follow this advice, the bus should pass you without any harm. Remember, it's more afraid of you than you are of it.

What to do if the worst happens

If you are attacked, all is not lost. Fortunately, these beasts swallow their prey whole, so you do have some time to react. Do whatever you can to cause the beast gastric discomfort. Wave your arms wildly and yell; mutter to yourself, stagger around. If you are able, look for two long, cable-like sinews running along the sides of the beast's inner cavity. Grab one of these and pull as hard as you can. The bus will make sounds of protest and will stop to disgorge you. Move out of the area as quickly as possible in case there are others -- these predators sometimes travel in fleets of two or three.

Keep Alert
Professional bus-hunters may carry attractants such as 'tokens' or 'passes'. Tourist stands may try to sell you such items as novelties. Do not be fooled. Field guides are available which show the common migration patterns of these beasts, but are well-known to be full of inaccuracies. Patterns of movement can change hourly. Be cautious. Maintain your distance even if you encounter a bus that seems to be injured or resting -- they are easily provoked.
