Paradox champions, I beseech your assistance. I need a real simple puzzler that has only a few words. Any suggestions would be appreciated and word-less zingers would be the best.
We may be a collection, without noticing it, and that collection includes everyone. We only select whom we wish to emulate. Everything else blocked. It a no brainer, we pick up everything directly or, by association.
For instance, we don’t have to go to Greece to be there, and that’s discounting the possibility of Astro projection, Eckenkar soul travel, or the idea that we live in the eternal time of this second.
And quite frankly, I’m impressed you delivered. I thought to myself: now how can you give a paradox in just a few simple words? Most require at least a paragraph. But yes, the liar’s paradox is quite an elegant response.
So should I explain trinary logic, or do you think it would be obvious to her what it is and how that resolves the paradox?
Coherent logic statements can only be either true or false. That is what leads to the appearance of a conundrum, a paradox. But there is always the incoherent statement, void of rational meaning, such as;
“The color of my dog is cat.”
“There are absolutely no absolutes.”
and “This statement is false.”
Incoherent statements are neither true nor false, but rather meaningless, often self-refuting.
Thus Trinary/Tertiary Logic:
True
False
Incoherent (neither or both)
… and you are going to have a really, really tough time catching me with this sort of thing.
