The following statement is true:
The above statement is false.
WHO'S RIGHT?
liar paradox. such as "i am lying now"
THE TOP ONE CAUSE HES THE ONE ACCUSING FIRST.
neither the top sentence says the bottom one is true, the bottom one says the top one is false.. if the top one is false, then the bottom one cant' be true.. it just goes back and fourth, it's unsolvable....
oh yeah, i love that movie.
What if they wrote it in japanese?
It has to be the fucking second one, I just know it, man! Because the second one follows the first. And it is the latter....shit I'm fucking stoned. I don't have a clue what the answer is.
This reminds me of a story I learned about in school, it comes from Cervantes' Don Quichot, and it goes like this:
There once was a land divided by a river. Over this river was only one bridge, and at the other side of it were 4 judges. They questioned everybody who went over the bridge, having them make an oath about what they were planning to do on the other side. If they lied, they would be hanged, otherwise, they could go. Many passed the bridge, and, most of the time seeing that they weren't lying, the judges let the people pass.
One day this guy crossed the bridge, and, when asked what he was doing there, he said he only crossed he bridge to be hanged. The judges thought about this and concluded: "If we let this man go, he will have lied, and we will have to hang him by law. However, if we hang him, he was telling the truth and thus that same law sets him free"
I always remembered this story, kinda freaky, isn't it?
the above statement is true because it is made false by the one underneath which means the false statement is false so the above statement is true......i think
There is no statement...
Think about it, it simply says something about the other sentence, they both refer to each other. They can't be true or false.
If the statement was
The below statement is true
Bunnies jump up to 7inches.
Then that would be a statement capable of being true or false. However, each statement really has no purpose to it, other than enforcing a statement which...doesn't even really exist. A statement can't enforce another statement that enforces the first unless there is a subject to it.
EDIT: I guess my answer would be, both statements are false.
But if both statements are false, then surely the second statement must be true.
The true answer is that the sentences are rationally invalid, and they have no logical truth or falsehood.
"theres money in the ghetto"
The second. The first statment states that "The following statement is true" which means that "this statement is false must be true.
"Everything I say is a lie."
wow this is weird, i was thinking about this yesterday. Both statements are dirty liers
ok how about this one(not a contradiction but i've been thinking about it). when you take mushrooms or other hallucinogens(most) it disrupts your seritonin which, among other things, regulates unneeded nerve impulses which could be the reason we trip(no one is totally sure). when you are born you do not have this ability to block unneded sights, sounds and nerve impulses. you have to develop it. think about this and look at a baby to a young kid. they are trippin!
i guess that would explain why they're fascinated by bright colors and sounds lol probably why they laugh at stuff even a stoner, that just smoked a half oz of NL wouldn't think to laugh at lol..
The mystery is solved. :DQuote:
