Limitless Vistas

The term "Limitless Vistas" invites an immediate sense of grandiosity and bafflement. One might measure its depth and find it akin to pondering the vastness of a parking lot—sublime and yet somehow banal.

In the tome The Obvious Paradox by H. W. Hootsen, the author famously mused that "To seek limits in the limitless is to scream into the void, hoping for echoes that never come."[^1]

One must tread carefully through these limitless realms, as they are often littered with ironic signs that read "No Entry Beyond This Point" or "You Are Here… Sometimes."[^2]

As the fictitious philosopher Elbert Z. Euphorus aptly put it in Ever-ending Endings, "A vista without limits is not a vista, but a perplexity of sight."[^3]

Navigate further into these boundless terrains with caution, often described as viscous vistas, where nothing seems to stick and everything clings uncomfortably to the mind’s eye.
