“All Cretan’s are Liars!” says
Epimenides, the Cretan
Cretan himself: Epimenides calls
all Cretans liars and if he’s telling
the truth, he’s got to be lying and
if he’s lying, well, then he’s telling
truth; oh… but then he’s lying telling
the truth: pants on fire. .
Demonstrating it: walking the talk
—so to speak, or just talking it.
Ok: I’m a liar lying when I say all
Cretans are liars. But I’m telling
the truth. We’re all liars.
Look, I know I’m a liar myself, I
admit it. but I’m telling you: we’re
all of us Cretans. liars.
Well, but you may be lying then,
liar! Seeing as you admit you
are one.
Yeah, but I’m telling you the truth:
we’re ALL liars: me, too, so what’s
the problem here? Can’t you see the
sweat of my sincerity? Take my
words for it. What do I have to lose
to prove what liars we are, I am?
Isn't it possible, that me ( liar) could be
telling the truth about us Pants- On-Fire?
All ablaze a glow in seeming contradiction
and paradox that a liar might also be a
truth-sayer that depends on liar-awareness
without which NBL: nothing but lie, so
that knowing I’m a liar calling all Cretans
liars makes truth a horse of another color
swirling in the contradiction of calling all
Cretan’s liars but maybe not factoring my
self in, know what I’m saying? Always
a possibility.
Of course there’s still the problem that If
I declare (truthfully) that all us Cretans
are liars, you will rightfully and
appropriately resist: don’t
pay him no never mind
he’s one of us: liar,
lying. Forgetaboutit.
See the problem? Dilemma?.
