We're definitely of like mind on this stuff. Truly refreshing as
   I'm honestly not used to it tongue emoticon

   I love recursion. It's so simple to do and you go down as many
   dimensions as you need to, each dimension accomplishing a unique
   set of tasks that don't have to have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with
   the levels above... just spit out a result the above levels can
   use.

   I remember learning about
   [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homunculus_argument in school
   in learning about vision it was taught as a laughable thing.

   But - even then, at the beginnings of programming knowledge, I
   thought to myself, "it doesn't have to be the SAME thing"
   looking at the screen in the same way but it could be somewhat
   similar to it".

   I imagined loops inside of loops inside of loops, each of them
   serving different purposes but altogether were functionally
   _similar_ (but not the same) as a 'man within a man within a
   man".

   So I never saw it as an absurdity, except when it was put simply
   the way they did. Yet in nature there *are* processes inside of
   processes inside of processes inside of processes... and what
   are we but a processes? What processes do *we* feed into? What
   do THOSE processes feed into?

   It amazes me that more people _don't_ think like this... but of
   course I'm biased because of squirting brain chemicals in my
   head that make me feel good when I think I've gotten something
   right. Doesn't mean my certainty is truth - but it leaves a nice
   sensation inside to encourage me to continue believing it tongue
