Psychologism holds that logical assertions are percolations of brains. Thus logic is a set of rules for how healthy brains operate. Aside from the infinite regress of a brain determining whether a brain is healthy, we have the infinite regress of the idea 'All concepts are brain percolations' being itself a brain percolation, on its own terms.

Psychologismus ist der Ansicht, dass logische Behauptungen Perkolationen von Gehirnen sind. Logik ist also ein Satz von Regeln, wie gesundes Gehirn funktioniert. Abgesehen von der unendlichen Regression eines Gehirns, die feststellt, ob ein Gehirn gesund ist, haben wir die unendliche Regression der Idee "Alle Konzepte sind Gehirnperkolationen", die selbst eine Gehirnperkolation sind, nach ihren eigenen Bedingungen.

The seductiveness of war derives in part from its location on this boundary of the human, the inhuman, and the superhuman. It requires us to confront the relationship among the noble, the horrible, and the infinite; the animal, the spiritual, and the divine.

Here I am, safely returned over those peaks from a journey far more beautiful and strange than anything I had hoped for or imagined - how is it that this safe return brings such regret?
