The Importance of Infinite Regressors in Philosophy

I do think that there's some benefit to having these conversations to thinking about infinite paint brushes. Like Americans, I think they're just more in your face about stuff. You could swap out any sort of physical objects to only sort of rational concepts and come up with a similar sort of thought experiment. But the person who sits there and says, no, I don't believe that such an infinite explanatory regress can exist is not doing it on the basis of impenetracy. That doesn't seem to me to be empirically informed.
