Yeah, James, we get it.
Only binary logicians have a problem with this. That’s why I prefer trinary.
There are no paradoxes void of resolution. She asked for a simple paradox, not how to resolve it.

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?

I don’t know if she cares to resolve it.
But I suspect that she preferred that I not know how.
But then again, since I do, why not go ahead (not that I will agree with your version of “trinary logic”).

Well, since you already know, what’s the point?
You guys suck at this…
“Nothing at all”
It’s an impossible phrase to utter.

Yes, stop trying to help yourself out of this paradox, which may be?
JSS,

Oh, you want ME to tell you?
Okay…
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:
… and you are going to have a really, really tough time catching me with this sort of thing.
James,
Why drag this out? :-" Solve the paradox shown in the pic.
There are no actual paradoxes in reality only perceived ones
What is not known or understood is simply that and nothing else
Why are you doing what James should be doing? You are in a feisty mood.
An absence of what you imagine here would suggest otherwise
Asking for a solution where none exists is somewhat paradoxical
James,

As I just explained:
Incoherent statements are neither true nor false, but rather meaningless, often self-refuting.
Thus Trinary/Tertiary Logic:1) True 2) False 3) Incoherent (neither or both)
That goes for questions too.
(3) - Neither came first.
Solve the paradox shown in the pic
No because no paradox requires no solution
A right answer to a question cannot be paradoxical
Perceptions of illusion only exist in the mind not in reality
The paradox being imagined here is therefore an illusion so not real
Here is a non real [ abstract ] non paradox for you : one plus one equals one
Now it is actually very easy but it can be hard only if you insist on making it as such
The chicken and egg scenario isn’t really a paradox, it’s just a mystery (if you don’t know the answer).
Wendy, here’s a good one for you: Russell’s Paradox.
You guys have killed the fun. Never taking any of you out in public.
