Quick question, not quite related to weed...

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?

 

*melts brain*

 

oh shit thats a crazy statement to think about stoned
ill have to try it later

 

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.

 

makes sense to me

 

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.

 

somethin's fishy here

 

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

 

the term you're looking for is "logical impossibility" you dolt.....

 

maybe so, but the questions ARE refered to as "the lie paradox"

 

Ok, im not looking for exact answers, my brother needs to read and reflect about it, and write a 2 page paper...
