You've just moved the "what caused the..." question up another level and then pleaded that your new level is somehow more special than the previous level without any actual justification. It's turtles all the way down and gods all the way up.
- drdeca 4y agoSo what you do is you form a ordinal-indexed hierarchy of “why”s, And then you go up a universe level so that the class of ordinals in the lower universe level becomes an actual set and not just a class, and then you somehow (exactly how... remains to be seen) appeal to Zorn’s lemma , and construct a why-of-all-whys that explains everything in the lower universe level. And you call that thing [ERROR: NOT REPRESENTABLE].
