Hay tortugas-tortugas-tortugas todo el rato

William James, father of American psychology, tells of meeting
an old lady who told him the Earth rested on the back of a huge
turtle.
"But, my dear lady," Professor James asked, as politely as
possible, "what holds up the turtle?"
"Ah," she said, "that's easy. He is standing on the back of
another turtle."
"Oh, I see," said Professor James, still being polite. "But
would you be so good as to tell me what holds up the second
turtle?"
"It's no use, Professor," said the old lady, realizing he was
trying to lead her into a logical trap. "It's turtles-turtles-turtles,
all the way!"



A domesticated primate philosopher on an oxygen-supported
carbon based planet circling a Type G star—namely, the present
author—was once asked, "How do we think?"
"Well, we have a built-in bio-survival circuit which distin-
guishes nourishment-giving Things from predatory Things..."
"But can that circuit do all our thinking?"
"Well, no, but then there's an emotional-territorial circuit..."
"But, but, but—"
"It's circuits-circuits-circuits all the way," I said.

What the Thinker thinks, the Prover proves.

RAW.
