No-Pill #28 The Big Question: Existence?

— It’s Turtles All The Way Down; Or Whatever

The 114 No-Matrix/No-Pill Advantages Course. Start here.

In a universe so profound,
Where mysteries and wonders abound,
There's a tale that astounds,
Of turtles in mounds.
A scholar, with a frown,
Asked, "What holds the world round?"
An old lady in town,
Replied without a sound.
"On a turtle, it's found,
No pillars or ground,
But wait, don't confound,
The mystery is compound."
"For the turtle, so round,
On another is bound,
A stack of turtles, renowned,
In an infinite countdown."
The scholar, spellbound,
In thoughts he was drowned,
The answer he'd found,
Was profound and unsound.
For in wisdom, he'd drowned,
In a truth so compound,
The reality around,
It's turtles all the way down!
