| AGNOSTIC: | Oh, I suppose that's possible,
but it is very, very unlikely. |
| MYSTIC A: | So it is your judgment that
alien mind control is very unlikely? |
| AGNOSTIC: | Yes. |
| MYSTIC A: | But if your thoughts may be
controlled, then the aliens may also be affecting your judgment as
to the probability of alien control. |
| AGNOSTIC (thinking): | That is
true. So let me revise my earlier statement: it is
probably true that alien mind control is
unlikely. |
| MYSTIC: | So it is your judgment that the
probability is high that alien mind control is unlikely? |
| AGNOSTIC: | OK, I can see that this leads
me into an infinite regress. So let me just admit that I do not
know how probable alien mind control may be.
