Is the following true or false?: ';Everything I write is a lie.';?

Thank you for rediscovering the Liar's paradox.





By the way, it could be both true and false if we get rid of the principle of explosion. Maybe your a follower of paraconsistent logic.Is the following true or false?: ';Everything I write is a lie.';?
False. Because you would have to be lying, and since you say it, it is false so, that is it. Since you lie at least some times, the statement is what it is, wrong. No big paradox.Is the following true or false?: ';Everything I write is a lie.';?
1. Upon a blank 3x4 index card, write the following:


';The statement on the other side is true';


2. Upon the opposite side of the same card, write the following:


';The statement on the other side is false';


3. Flip the card at regular intervals, reflect upon their meaning and import. Repeat as required. Note your own thoughts and reactions.
Did your philosophy teacher use that in class today or what?
What... are you trying to short-circuit an army of evil androids?
don't confuse me or my head will blow up... seriously
until it is confirmed as the truth - yes
you tell us.
...true!


...enjoy!
You'd make a good politician .
yup
just say yes....
