to be clear, that's not explicitly what im saying, i'm just proposing that if you were to think hard enough about anything for long enough, it devolves until it cannot devolve anymore. There is some level of arbitrary basis that needs to be defined in order to make a clear comprehensible statement on something. Where that level is just depends on where you stop.
it's definitely one of the most interesting aspects of it as a field. Much like neuroscience, which we still don't really understand, the only difference is that it doesn't really have a direct implication in our daily lives lmao. It's mostly just people with way too much free time thinking about things they probably don't need to spend time thinking about.
