If someone says "I always lie"' date=' are they telling the truth? Or are they lying?

[/quote']

I've read that somewhere before, and apparently, the answer was "He was lying" But I doubt it...

 

It's a philosophical paradox, therefore unanswerable.

So in response to your answer, if he was lying he must be telling the truth because he said he always lie's, therefore paradoxical -YOU CAN'T FRIGGIN' ANSWER IT!

It's like this one:

Imagine an alien tells you "Aliens always lie."

Which means he said the truth, which means he lied, ...

Yes, that's the idea. And yes, you can apply it to anything.

 

Imagine Chuck Norris tells you "Chuck Norris always lies."

Which means he said the truth, which means he lied...

 

Yet another way Chuck Norris always beats you.

There is no answer because it's a paradox.

 

If what it says is true, means the one saying it is lying, because he's not lying...

If what it says is false, means the one saying it is telling the truth, which means he's lying..

 

In other words, that sentence is self-refuting.

There's nothing wrong with this paradox.

So a person says "I always lie". Which means, he just lied. If he lied as he said he's lying, he's saying the truth. Which means he lied. And it continues like this.

 

But you can see it like this:

"I am always lying" so he lied, so: "I am not always lying."

But this doesnt really work.

What existed first, the egg or the chicken?

 

If god,as an eternal being, is unchanging, then how she can create? If she created something, then that means that she was a god wanting to create something, and then became a creator god, tus changing.

 

If the toat always falls in the side of the butter and a cat always falls on it's feet, what happens if you paste a toast to the back of a cat (with the butter side up)?

Nobody goes to that restaurant; it's too crowded.

 

Don't go near the water 'til you have learned how to swim.

 

The man who wrote such a stupid sentence can not write at all.

 

If you get this message, call me, and if you don't get it, don't call.
