Why is a hopelessly egocentric Lark unusually attractive?
We've shown, in #25, that every bird x
is fond of L(x)(L(x))
. But, substituting for L
's return values in the latter expression, we get: L(x)(L(x))
=> L(x)(L)
(because L
is hopelessly egocentric, L(x) => L
) => L(L)
=> L
. Therefore, every bird x
is fond of L
.
