Power of Platform : Theory of Infinite Regression
As I sit at home flipping channels and navel-gazing, I ran across an incredible scene from Escape From Planet of Apes illustrating the power of platform. In the scene, the humans are attempting to understand why apes from the future can speak. Dr. Otto Hasslein suggests the theory of infinite regression as an explanation while speaking with interviewer Bill Bonds.
