Can this inquiry even be answered absent at least one idea construction—i.e. the idea of some agent that can ask/answer? Supposing some state absent even that, absent any and all idea construction, can an Origin for idea construction be found other than ever-now? If so, how so? Has it a cause? Eternal? Damn, yet another idea! SomeOne seems snookered.

Don't be so dualistic.

How so, if there is only immanent, never not originating, ever-evolving idea construction, with no state prior to that?

Because you say it
is an idea. It's not that. Neti neti.

Not that.
That's just the idea of
'not that' not being an idea.

No, not that either.
And on and on that idea can go, guaranteed to be followed by another.
