    Ok, this isnt directly related to weed, but I seem to think about it alot while stoned. Ok, my younger brother is in a logic and theory class in school. He was told to read and reflect on the following 2 sentances:

    The following statement is true.
    The previous statement was false.

    If you really think about it, its tough to reflect on anything about those 2 sentances. Any ideas?

    Meh, that's like saying, "I can speak fluent German, but I don't know a single word of German" no matter how you look at it, it's just asinine in the long run, there's really no deep thinking you can make on it cause there's no answer you can give for it except that it makes no sense.

    It's a prime example of contradiction. They both cancel each other out.

    Thats like saying "yes, but no". Its simply just 2 opposite meanings stuck next to eachother to form a couple sentences over. I wouldnt waste time thinking about it.

    its like a paradox or something. like "all gereralizations are false". but that was a generalization. or everything i say is a lie. i guess
