CoteD - Chicken or the egg Dilemma - because why not? It's a cool name, ok?!

- Causality dilemma, commonly begs the question "which came first, the chicken of the egg?";
- Anciently regarded as a philosophical inquiry about the beginning of the universe and the commencement of life;
- Aristotle and Plato -- Greek philosophers from ye old time (who the heck could remember what time, like hundreds BC or something) initially evoke this peculiar dilemma;
- Previous "scientists" proved that the egg came first because it is a processed protein compound of some sort (I don't read science) that was hatched by a few evolution of birds and dinosaurs prior (because dinosaurs are birds' ancestors, surprise! 8D).
- However, previous "scientists" also proved that the chicken came first using the same argument aforementioned, that some evolution of birds gradually evolved into the closest form of chicken we see nowadays, therefore, giving birth to an offspring in the form of an egg that continually gain its population.
~> the dilemma remains because "science" is v a g u e a s h e c k

Sony's take on the dilemma:

- it depends on how people view it. Philosophically, it doesn't matter, this is only to symbolize that the universe cannot begin without a start (that sounds dumb hmm...) -- that the universe is an ever-repeating cycle of reproduction and procreation -- like a circle, it has infinite small lines, or dots -- forming into a circular shape -- therefore, possessing no end points or start points, it's just the way it is. Scientifically, it depends largely on the precision of the definition of "chicken" -- a domestic fowl, or just a dinosaur descendant (hence, bearing less resemblance to the modern creature) -- or the definition of "egg" -- zygote-filled organic vessel, or just the most basic form of current eggs (meaning it bears fundamental elements which aid in the evolution of eggs in modern time and not the replica of the egg itself). Thus, there are multiple ways to interpret this scientifically.
However, it all boils down to a fact that this question was raised with a drive towards the humanities, not the sciences, and so, should not be over-analyzed with facts and figure. The question itself should be considered a postulate - which came first, the chicken or the egg -- sophisticated, rhetorical, and indisputable in every way.

~ I have no idea what I just wrote, I was trying to be profound and all that. But that sounds like a hypocritical idiot.

-- written some time around 2014 because I couldn't get on to writing this immediately for the perplexity of the matter and because immortalizing this female chick is hard as fudge.

(this is actually a male chick and it's not even a chick -- it's a Harp, so bear with me because it is pretty).

Update 2015: freaking Harpis CoteD is a hideous name why the heck am I still keeping this creature with a profile overwritten like this lmao bye.

About Harpis Eggs

The feathers located on Harpis eggs, on rare occasions, make musical sounds when touched. Be careful not to touch them too frequently though, otherwise they will fall out. Harpis eggs cannot survive without their feathers.

About the Harpis Creature

The Harpis received its name for its brilliant feathers (because they look like they could be played like a harp). Beyond this, a Harpis' call is distinct and unmistakable; it is often a long melody with elegant dynamic shifts.

The Harpis breeding grounds are located near Ark Bay. Although not classified as formally endangered, Harpises are considered to be the rarest of any swan subspecies. For this reason, Harpis breeding grounds are aggressively protected by the Science and Research Center backed by legislation at the Town Hall.

Harpises, like their swan relatives, mate for life.
