Borges and Data Sciences in ―The Golem‖

This article consists of an analysis of the mathematical content in the poem” The Golem” written by the Argentinean author Jorge Luis Borges, in 1958. Our analysis takes in consideration the deep reflections on Statistics found on the book: Statistical Rethinking (2020) written by Richard McElreath. We found relevant similitudes between the mathematical content of Borges' poem, and the innovative approach to Statistics, and in particular the explanations of Bayesian statistics, as they are presented on the book authored by McElreath.
