Paradox discussion thread

A paradox is a statement or situation
or both that is at least (but also can
be) contradictory.

Paradoxes are more than one paradox.

Chat about paradoxes here.

To all what are some paradoxes you love?

Here are some of mine and the paradox in this post below in bold is absolutely first made by me.

#1: The person will do literally all commanded paradox which is where someone will do absolutely all as commanded but then that person (we will name this person Kara) is told to know absolutely all about me and give me freedom of choice, now here is the explaination of how this paradox works,
Kara of course cannot do the impossible so She cannot both know absolutely all about me and give me freedom of choice (for obvious reasons), but since She will do as commanded She will know absolutely all about me and give me freedom of choice, but since Kara cannot do that which is absolutely impossible then Kara will not both know absolutely all about me and give me freedom of choice.

#2: This statement is false paradox
now this paradox works by the statement saying
this statement is false, so if the statement is telling you that this statement is false then of course it is telling you the truth, but since the statement is
this statement is false then this statement is not telling you the truth.

I LOVED Arthur as a kid.

I did too man, I did too.

There was another episode with a stupid paradox.

Arthur and co. were imagining what sort of terrible things teachers did in the Teacher’s Lounge…

*cue dream fade-in music*

Mr. Ratburn: If a person says he never tells the truth, is he lying?

Mr. Haney: Well, I don’t know!

Mr. Ratburn: There is no answer! It’s a paradox!

Both of them start laughing.

Mr. Haney: Put it on the next math test!

i like the grandfather paradox

that is all

Paradox Interactive is a pretty decent video game publisher so there’s that

Just wait, let me manipulate your post.

I think I’ve played something from them, but I don’t know what it is. :p

Arthur can be funny, just like Camping Can Be Cool.

I love how I can just re-edit the post and we can have a editing battle all day and night. :laugh:

Pretty sure you can’t just introduce Kara to the equation and claim you’ve made a new paradox (http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/free-will-foreknowledge/). If you can, Kara’s Cat is one of mine.

I’ve always been a fan of the "Ship of Theseus" Paradox myself.
If a ship is preserved by replacing old parts with new ones up to the point where everything of the old ship has been replaced, can it still be considered the same ship?

Hey, Marc! I’ve been lured back by you and TK. Will try to call into chat for a while over the weekend!
