^So! Must be a stupid American Elephant.

However, it was widely held before Columbus (or was it Copernicus?), that the Earth and a Huge Elephant in fact shared the identity property.

Are you following along now?

How is criminal lawyer a real pleonasm, funny guy?


Tautologically true?



Universally true actually doesn't fit, right? Something can be false and applied to everyone or everything at the same time, no?

Yes

The material world is the imperfect reflection of the real.

Thus everything in the material world is true but temporary.

This why duality exists and simultaneously not ......

So back when Elephant = Earth, then it would be redundant for there to be supporting turtles all the way down, either Earth or the big Elephant would be sufficient.

Similary, the multiplicity of turtles are are also redundant in view of the fact that just one could support either The Earth and/or The Elephant or Both.

The following quote is also redundant inasmuch as it's been stated prevously.

However, redundatnt systems are actually a good thing, since in case one breaks down, there is another one which can step right up to the plate.

Munge, I had dinner with my brother-in-law tonight. He is practicing being a lawyer.

The answer to your question is "horseshoes and handgranades"

Or to be redundant, close enough.
