Interesting clip of Borges being interviewed by William F. Buckley. Many people don't know Buckley grew up in Mexico City and spoke Spanish as a first language.

Despite not agreeing with his politics, I think Buckley represented a type that today is almost completely missing from conservatism. For example, he was usually loath to willfully misrepresent his opponent's arguments in the way that Republicans do now as a matter of course.

#ChatGPT told that #Hallelujah is from Jeff Buckley instead of Leonard Cohen. Cohen took 15 YEARS to compose this music, and this should be well-known, but is not, since Buckley's angelical voice made the music famous.

More about this? I strongly recommend the film 'Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7600742/
