The philosopher comes with analysis
And proves it had to be like this:
The first was so, the second so,
And hence the third and fourth was so,
And were not the first and second here,
Then the third and fourth could never appear.
That is what all the students believe,
But they have never learned to weave.
—GOETHE, Faust
 
 
Choose, said the Fool.
—The Book of Odd Thoughts, 17:19
