Paradoxes (Thanks
to Wikipedia!)
"If this sentence is true,
then Santa Claus exists."
Without necessarily believing
that Santa Claus exists, or that the sentence is true, it seems we should
agree that if the sentence is true, then Santa Claus exists. But then this
means the sentence is true. So Santa Claus does exist. Furthermore we could
substitute any claim at all for "Santa Claus exists". This is Curry's paradox.
Exception paradox: if every
rule has an exception, then there must be an exception to the rule that
every rule has an exception.
Variation: The only rule is
that there are no rules.
"Practice moderation in all things. Including moderation."
"Is the answer to this
question no?"
