Who is Justificational Regress?

Who is Justificational Regress? It’s like when you ask why something happens, and then keep asking why again, forever.

Imagine you have a toy car that keeps rolling forward on its own. You wonder: Why does it move? Maybe it has a hidden battery inside. So you check the battery, why is it working? Because it’s connected to a tiny motor. Then you ask: why is there a motor? It was put there by someone. Why did they put it there? Maybe they wanted the car to be fun! And then you ask: why do we want fun?

That’s justificational regress, when every answer leads to another question, and the questions never stop.

Think of it like reading a storybook. The first page says, "The dragon flew because he was happy." You ask: Why was he happy? The next page says, "Because he found a treasure." Then you ask: Why did he find the treasure? The next page answers, and so on. If the book never ends, that’s justificational regress.

It's like being stuck in a loop of "why" questions, with no final answer, just more stories to read!
