Issue #1 may never be closable.

If I have an existential crisis, does that solve this issue?

Arguably, we could solve this issue by determining if #1 is closable. So I think the metaissue is probably not the same status as the objectissue.

Well, #1 can probably be closed if we reach a number of recipes that satisfies Graham. I theorize that this condition is in fact reachable, but that we might not know the exact number of recipes it would take.

Maybe if we produce more recipes than Graham could possibly ever make in his lifetime? Or more recipes than he could even read in his lifetime?

It's possible that Graham's desire for recipes is different than, and indeed unbounded by, his ability to execute recipes or consume the results of such execution.

Okay, so the actual question is whether or not Graham's desires are finite. I agree that the limit of hs desires and the limit of his abilities are separate issues, and that we're dealing with the former. Is there any precedence showing that Graham's desires have ever been fully satisfied?

I wonder if @gvoysey has noticed this issue yet.

yes.

I think because @gvoysey is finite, issue #1 is closable.

That I am/ that I am finite is a bold philosophical claim.

I claim you are finite for as much as I am practically able to observe in all of the states that I am aware of at this moment.

Also a pretty bold philosophical claim.

I claim that I am bold.
