Infinitism

Believing in the life of infinity. To never die. To live forever and beyond. To not believe in forever because forming a word means to limit it. AND SERENA REFUSES THAT.
A: dude I don't think we are gonna die tbh.
B: Woah are you one of those infinitism believer?

Infinite Infiniti

An Infiniti luxury vehicle with an Infinity sound system.

A vehicle best suited to go to Infinity and beyond?

...maybe.
I work at a car dealership and I've yet to see an Infiniti make with an Infinity stereo. If I did see one, I would call it an "Infinite Infiniti."

Scientific Infinitism

The epistemological position that justification in science never comes to a final resting point—there are always further reasons, deeper causes, more fundamental theories. You explain a phenomenon with a law, but what justifies the law? A theory, but what justifies the theory? A paradigm, but what justifies the paradigm? Infinitism holds that this regress isn't vicious but productive: science advances not by reaching foundations but by pushing the infinite regress further back, finding ever deeper questions behind answers. The goal isn't a final stop—it's an infinite journey with progressively better views.
"You keep asking 'why' to every explanation I give. Scientific Infinitism says that's not annoying—that's the whole point. We don't need a final answer; we need an infinite chain of increasingly interesting questions. Keep asking why forever. That's science."

Epistemological Infinitism

The view that justification for knowledge never comes to an end—there are always further reasons, deeper grounds, more fundamental principles. You know something because of a reason, but what justifies that reason? Another reason. And so on, infinitely. Infinitism rejects the search for foundations (foundationalism) and the circularity of coherentism, embracing instead the infinite regress as the actual structure of knowledge. We don't need a stopping point—we need an infinite chain of reasons, and that's okay because we can always ask "why?" again and get a better answer.
"You keep asking 'how do you know?' and I keep answering, and you keep asking again. Epistemological Infinitism says: good! That's not a problem—that's the structure of knowledge. We don't need a final answer; we need an infinite chain of increasingly interesting justifications. Keep asking forever."
