paradox

[hawarameen]

a man walking down the road sees an old man sitting on a park bench, the old man calls him over and tells him, "the first thing said to you by the first person you meet today will not be true, trust me dont believe what he says!"

the younger man says "OK...but hang on a minute your the first person i've met today"

"exactly" says the old man.

You just blew my mind :blink:

So basically, whatever the old man says is true, or could be true.

What was the man doing sitting on a public park bench? Did he have the proper papers and authorization from the State? If not he should be arrested at once.

the sentance below is true

the sentence above is false

That's not a paradox, one of the statements is just false. This is a paradox: This statement is false

This is stupid. It's just the more eloquent equivalent of "big litte."

There is a thread here (http://www.che-lives.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=6215&hl=liar+paradox) <http://www.che-lives.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=6215&hl=liar+paradox> on this already based on this (http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/p/par-liar.htm) <http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/p/par-liar.htm> article.

And I think there is another thread around but I don&#39;t know where.
