ABSTRACT
Outsider: We require a threshold, yes? Insider: Why must we have a threshold? Outsider: So that we can go from outside to inside. Insider: That’s not the problem. Outsider: Nu? What is the problem? Insider: Isn’t the problem one of how to get to the threshold? Outsider: I think we can handle that. Let’s construct a threshold to the threshold. Insider: It would be a great relief if that were the problem, but that’s not the problem. Outsider: Nu? What is the problem? Insider: The problem is, how to get there-to the threshold of the threshold. Outsider: You have a point. What we probably must do is to construct a threshold to
the threshold to the threshold. Insider: That’s not the problem. What you do not seem to understand is that there
can be no threshold at all, because there always has to be a threshold before that, and before that, and before that, ad infinitum.
