*Contradiction*

Sometimes I love thinking about questions that never make sense. I know...I'm weird lol

Here are some examples. I think you've heard of them before.

1. You can answer to this question only by yes or no. "Is what you say next NO?"

If you say YES, then what you said next was YES, not NO, but by saying YES, you meant that what you say next is NO. Contradicting!

2. I am a lier!

Ok, if I am really a lier, it means what I'm saying now, "I'm a lier," is lying, which means I'm not a lier. But it doesn't make sense because we began with the assumption that I'm really a lier.

And if I'm not a lier, and am very honest, then that means I never lie. So, what I'm saying must be true, "I'm a lier." But this makes me a lier, not honest. Contradicting!



How did you think? : P
