Me and my Consciousness

We sit there, with our pints of Hobgoblin ale, pondering the quantity of time that will elapse before the endless debate begins. An endless process has a beginning. That's what I just said. Let's think about that... The process begins and then continues forever, as time goes to infinity. Now before the beginning there was a time without the process that we can call BP (before process), but the process continues for an infinite time after BP. An infinite time is a quantity of time larger than any other. Therefore, for the endless debate to happen, it must have been happening before the process begun. Concluding that really, there was no beginning of the debate, it had already been happening and our ponders were in fact just an unavoidable pond of nonsense thought.
