A forest is a living entity comprised of endless beings. What this means is that if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, what you have is not a forest, but an abstraction. A ghost made of labels and structure. One meaningful answer to that ancient riddle… is that the question was a set-up from the get-go.

Now, go ahead, ask me about ‘the chicken and the egg’…

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The question is also a set-up. It answers itself. What happened first, was that extremely confused people set up a polarity, and then insisted they’d not done so. In fact, “which” is the name of the polarity, and it comes first — not eggs, or chickens.

So the answer is: Correct! Which came first!

Another answer I admire: The Sun!
