"ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE."
Three is greater than two AND two is greater than three.
Aufgehoben!
Hegel and Nagarjuna deserve honorable mention.
Marx stood Hegel on his head!
"You will eat dust all the days of your life",
He said.
Three is Three.
Two is Two.

These are points of view.
I bid thee a fond adieu.
"There will be a pop Quiz on Tuesday."

A cinch for the polymathic.
The Final is a koan:
