Which came first...
Which came first the proverbial chicken or egg; the positional insight or the chess move; the object of our reverence and love or our belief?

Mind you, Bobby my Boston bad, in the beginning the chicken (who was not a chicken but merely a kinda birdie) and the egg (that it wasn't a chicken egg I reckon) they were both just one of the possible manifestations that they could indeed take place within the classical realm of the observer known as Planet Earth by means of the well known to us miserable evolutionist atheists as beautiful soup;

Originally posted by BadwaterHowever, my dear friend River, due to the fact that the first tabiya is strictly given, I conclude that the main agent regarding his very first move is not the move itself but the essense of Development which it forces the White to move. Therefore I think that the very first move (action) of the White is merely the result of this abstract concept (Development -and of course Development itself is merely an aspect of Dynamism).
A) The egg.
B) The chess move.
C) Our belief.
So my answer over here to GB is: at first came "the positional insight"
