Did not the message say ‘then’ is not a idiom but a parodox.
Since you like to debate on parodox, give you a parodox that happened in my life. Back in the Winter of 1992 when going to college, was working security in a nursing home. Had to work with the very old and very ill. Can tell you stories after stories how the old leave this middle earth, that is not the parodox.
Had to go to work, as nobody could take my shift; the nursing home would not accept anyone from security not working. Did have a major flu, it was weeks before feeling better. Only worked a two day 16 hour shift on the weekends, the first week of my flu, one nursing station had 7 people expired because they got my flu, the next weekend the other nursing station had 5 people expired because they got my flu.
Back in 1992, being a strong and young man, with a flu that lasted weeks before feeling myself again. Going to work, with that flu that became a air born virus, the death of 12 people or more because of myself having this flu. There could have been more but nobody had the final numbers, so it looks to be only 12. Did I kill 12 people – no; the virus in my body did it kill 12 people – yes. Think of how many times you ever had the flu, how many people have you ever given the flu to someone else. Then who you gave that flu, that ends in the deaths of so many. That person that gave me that flu, never understood how they were one degree of seperation from the death of so many. Now think of that parodox, been thinking about it for 12 years.
Correct. Would love to be at you’re tournament, at this time I do not have the flu.
It looks like your quote is a oxymoron, “I always lie”, if it is true you always lie then your statement is true. If you always lie, then all your statements are false.
As you do like the word ‘I’ in a great deal of you’re prose. One term comes into my organized beliefs over you’re state of mind, megalomania.
No Doug. Read the post carefully before you say anything. I specifically cited my sources.
This is what the people at the Princeton Unicersity wrote, not me. As most of us know, Princeton University is a prestigious Ivy League school. So if you are going to challenge the definition of a paradox, call the people at Princeton.
It can be a paradox or a oxymoron. The term is not the best term to use for a paradox. As paradoxs are very complex, even if they can out live the person that started the paradox. Lets say you are dating this woman. If you build on the relationship with her, you could get married and have a child with her. That child could grow up and become the World Chess Champion. Or, you can say to yourself, break up with her for a different woman. A paradox, is something that could have happen.
Lets take a different paradox, lets say with the new data from Bobby Fishers mother. What if she did not come to the United States, then have a affair with the biological father to Bobby Fisher. Bobby Fisher would not have been born, Spasky would more or less retained his title in 1972. Then would have looked at the Spasky - Karpov match of 1975. There would not have been the best of six games with draws not counting, as Karpov would have won the best out of 24 games against Kasparov. If it was not for the birth of Fisher, then Kasparov could have been World Champion from 1975 - 1987, or Spasky could have been World Champion from 1969 - 1975. If Bobby Fishers mother kept her marriage vows, then Bobby Fisher would not have been born. That is a paradox that she on her own broke, making a paradox of that birth.
A oxymoron, is something that it is not. The statement ‘I always lie’ is a oxymoron. Have you always lied in you’re life time, that would be false. The statement ‘I always lie’ is a lie, it is something that it is not.
Do not have a few years. The way my health is going, should be in the grave oh lets see soon. Do not worry I have my cemertary plot all paid for, only need to get my marker in the spring.
