Nice read. Anyways ...
Hindu Mythology: Universe emerged from a "cosmic egg" (Brahmanda).
Greek Mythology: Orphic tradition describes a universe hatching from an egg.
Chinese Mythology: Pangu broke out of a cosmic egg, creating heavens and earth.
Big Bang Theory: Universe began from a dense, hot "singularity," conceptually like a cosmic egg.
Symbolic Parallel: Egg symbolizes unity and potential, akin to the universe's origin.
What's a chicken?

- Jerrrrrrry 2y ago>A vessel to cross the street. I literally cannot source this pun, and my ego refuses to believe you can had been this clever. "Ogres are like onions! They have layers, just like onions. You get it? We both have layers" We are all just recursive instances of magnitudes of complexity, and the "automata" we dissuade ourselves into denying we are not is just an ironic emergent property of being able to "think". "Delineation" between these automata is only possible with edges - a membrane, an egg, of sorts.
- CoopaTroopa 2y agoSorry for your ego but that came right from my brain as a joke. It wasn't until after I hit submit I paused to think, "that's actually kinda profound for a Thursday morning."
- Jerrrrrrry 2y agoAh, well, neither of our ego's can take credit, then. Id take the credit for it, but lack the ego.
- CoopaTroopa 2y agoMy ego is in awe. Maybe the credit goes to the Id we found along the way.
- Bengalilol 2y agoSorry but this sounds and looks like a Crossy Road thing ^^
- im3w1l 2y ago> What's a chicken? Well I think the original saying could be expanded to something like "Given that chicken birds hatch from chicken eggs, and chicken eggs are layed by chicken birds, how did the cycle get started?" Or in the case of the article "Given that all egg-layers hatch from eggs and that all eggs are layed by egg-layers how did the cycle get started?" To answer the former question, we know that a bird can lay mutated eggs, but an egg can hatch into a mutated bird. So a not-quite-chicken layed a chicken egg. The article deals with the second question. Returning to your question I guess the answer you are looking for is a watchmaker God? And that if then we continue the analogy the purpose of the universe is to develop into another God?
- Bengalilol 2y ago^^ This or: God is an egg.

- mr_toad 2y agoHumans created chickens, not Gods. Their subspecies is the result of selective breeding, and their existence as a species is coincident with the rise of human civilisations. Without us there wouldn’t be chickens, or chicken eggs.
- Cthulhu_ 2y ago> What's a chicken? A miserable little pile of secrets.
