Turtles all the way down.

William James and Bertrand Russell take turns being the Intelligent (White) Man and "A Hindoo", "An Eastern Guru", "A Woman" and "An Old Woman" take turns saying "it's turtles all the way down"; in anecdotes told by others.

If I had a hundred lifetimes I'd spend at least three of them studying how these kinds of stories move through time. Maybe four.

I wish we had a hundred lifetimes. I wish we had a lifetime each.

(Be careful what you wish for!)

This post is done. Over and out.
