The point isn't that everything is recursive - the point is that systems that are recursive / self-referential cause breakdowns in logic (they are incomplete).

This is a deep philosophical insight - it rhymes with the Buddhist idea of no-self - the problems that arise because we hold onto a false sense of self.

I wrote an article covering three Bash commands that I find very useful - parameter expansion, `$_` and quick substitution.

Many of you will already use these - hopefully it is useful to a few of you!
