[FRIAM] why some people hate cops

Excellent! So, the idea is to place a higher order operator in amongst the lower order operators over which the higher order one operates, thereby making the expression impredicative. Damnit, there's a name for sentences like that ... not merely recursive or iterative. I can't remember it, though. "Reflective" maybe?

Ordinarily, I'd argue that such loopy definitions aren't extraordinarily expensive. I tend to think it's necessary for what we normally think of as "alive" or "conscious". But I suppose there are pathological cases, neuroses, or OCD, where the reflection swamps the rest of the machine.

Religion is a virus and a fundamental cause of that mess of proliferation.   All we've come up with in this country so far is to make them tolerate each other, no thanks to the best efforts of Bill Barr and so on.    I would say it is slightly pleasing how they tend to eat each other.   But man it is an expensive soap opera to produce.
