All beginnings are paradoxical, for how can a thing begin, without its seeds having already been present? Yet things do begin, notwithstanding philosophers proving that the arrow does not move, that learning is but remembrance of forgotten knowledge, that an omnipotent, self-caused being must have started this universe, that none can do good of their own volition, or that we are machines that cannot do at all.
If you’re screwed enough, you’re screwed, as the saying is, but if not then one can learn to do such things. Sometimes an outside stimulus may help one to start.
You can do that only if you are a coherent entity, to begin with—or at least close enough to it that this model works.
