This feels like solving an impossible puzzle only to fall right back into existential despair when you start thinking about it, because an egg is also not just an egg in the same way that not all egg layers are chickens. So if we can remove the chicken from the equation we also have to remove the chicken egg. Else we are cheating. And then we are right back where we started and the chicken and egg question still stands undefeated.
