1. It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies.
The only variable is about what.

3. Are you a knight or a knave?
If I were to ask this knave if he knew you were a liar would his answer be the truth or a lie?

4. Why would someone let you set a choice like that?
Edited on Sun Jun-19-11 02:58 PM by RandomThoughts
So many times people ask are you this or that.

What if neither a knight, nor knave, is what a person might be.

And there are many paradoxes, that can help people see the futility of certainty. With certainity, you stop learning, and stop being able to see or hear anything you don't already think or know.

I do know I am due beer and travel money, I do not claim to know the complete expanse of all that is good and evil, nor think such a claim is what a person should make.

And most don't make the claim that they know for sure.

I am still standing.

10. You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie,...
then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because you always lie... Illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human - only humans can explain! Illogical!
