This one seems like a spiritual successor to my all-time favorite SMBC.

I think that the vast majority of philosophical hair-splitting comes down to the fact that we live in "a universe where all meaningful divisions are arbitrary."

It lends a healthy perspective to a lot of arguments.

i think they mean infinite induction, which is rejected by ultrafinitists and the like - although i think that's more of a fringe position than the other big philosophy stuff
