It wouldn't be letting you down, because the only reason you asked him for a copy of Up in the first place, was to create this paradox, not because you actually wanted it, and so he did exactly what you wanted him to do. And so in fact he fulfilled his promise of not giving you Up and also not letting you down. Or so it would seem at first.... because as a result, you failed to create the paradox after all, and thus NOW he has let you down, which means you have NOW actually succeeded in creating the paradox after all.

My favorite paradox is the “fail” paradox. I learned it from a Garfield comic, by Jim Davis. In it Jon says: “ what if I tried to be a failure…. And failed?”. If he failed to be a failure he would be successful, but a failure to be a failure. So he’s not a failure. But he is since he fails to be a failure. Garfield responded with “we’d be rich!”

The Barber Paradox also starts with a false premise. In Russell's version, it is implied that if the barber chooses not to shave, then he must shave himself, because he only shaves men that don't shave themselves. But he does not have to shave himself. He can choose to not shave, and also to not shave himself, which would allow him to exist, shaving the rest of the men that choose not to shave themselves.

I can see two ways out of the barber paradox. First, the barber lives outside the town, and commutes to work, thereby not being included in the paradox at all, unless the paradox extends outside the town. Secondly, the barber is a woman or a young boy, thereby not included because the barber shaves men.

Doesn't make the second solution completely invalid though as yes, the barber could be a young boy.

Great video, thank you 🙏

6:49 "This statement is false" i correct me if i am wrong, but we can escape this paradox by using other values rather than just boolean. If we say that "This statement is false" is partially false or partially true, then the statement "This statement is false" is false as it implies and therefore escaping the paradox. The same applies to "there is no truth", this one is just wrong. Seeing as it is wrong it must mean something in the existing universe is true which is defiantly the case making the statement "there is no truth" false. I do see where you are coming from, i just believe you should have made a better example. Such as Pinocchio saying "my nose will now grow" in this case there are only boolean values present; either it grows or it does not, meaning there are no "in betweens" and this is one i would consider a paradox. Though i would be more than happy to be corrected on this subject.

I think it's that very definition, changing position, which leads to the paradox and perpetuates it. Yes, it is useful more often than not to describe or report continuous movement between A and B as a series of changed positions, a ship on the ocean, a horse on a course, even an arrow in flight. Yet on the other hand a position only makes sense as a stop for an appreciable time. Usually that's no problem, except in Zeno's mischievous hands where those pseudo-stops seem to have to repeat endlessly.

I'm not certain that the logic holds on the "There is no truth" paradox: If it is true that there is no truth, then the statement itself cannot be true, making itself false. That part holds up. However, if the statement "There is no truth" is simply false, this only implies that truth, of some sort exists. It doesn't force the statement to be true, since there can be other things that are true while the statement remains false. Unless I'm missing something, this is no longer a paradox or contradiction, it simply means that the statement "There is no truth" must be false.

The logic of a paradox is imbued by the words used that follow logical progression. That's why it becomes a 'loop'. What you're adding is something that is not allowed by the simple fact that 'no' is a finite term. It doesn't allow for maybes, perhaps', tomorrows, laters, befores, almosts, sometimes, always' or otherwise. Anything else added outside of the statement is not allowable because of the finality of the statement no. Saying that 'there can be other things that are true while the statement remains false' is an additive to the statement. No means no. It's a finality. This is where, in language, the strength of definitions of words becomes so very important. Take this statement for example. The woman had blonde hair. We know that two of those descriptors are finite; woman and hair. We know be the statement that the person in question was a woman and that she had hair. Now, depending on who you ask, blonde can have varying degrees of coloration. Depending on the perspective and position of the person making that descriptive statement, other questions can now come in to play. What time did they make this observation? Morning? Noon? Night? Was she in the shade? What was the lighting? Dark blonde? Light blonde? Platinum blonde? Strawberry blonde? Etc.. ad infinitum. And then there's the even deeper questions... does the person making this description define blonde the same way you do? This is why police investigate and interview to find as many witnesses as possible to corraborate information. But even then; there can be differences. But all of this goes out the window when you use finite terminology. There is no truth means simply that. Period, end of statement, closed-ended, no allowance for addendums; which is what you're attempting to do. Add to the statement. That's where other philosophers would stop you immediately and ask, "where does it say that?", "Where does it limit the time frame?", "Where does it limit the scope of reference?" and that is the crux. Compartmentalizing the statement and staying true to the variables or limitations afforded. It's the exact opposite of the old math joke, You have $10000 dollars. Your friend has $5000 dollars. Your friend takes $8000 dollars from you. How much do you have? (It's a subtraction problem, right? NO!) I have $15000 dollars and a dead friend. That one, you add in your own character of FTG, I'm keeping my money and setting things straight real quick even though it isn't part of the equation at hand. But in paradoxical situations, the thing that makes them as they are is the self-limiting factors that must be applied to test the statement. Like in computer programming. The line code that says A=C can never be A=C and maybe D or J or L. Unless it was written like that in the first place. Or your blood type. I'm type O negative. Finite statement. You can't say I'm type O negative, but maybe tomorrow I'll be type O positive. The word 'NO' is not an elastic term. It doesn't imply anything. It stamps it, codifies it, affirms it concretely. There is zero abstract nature to 'no'. The statement is being made as a simple statement of fact. There is no truth. But it is itself made as a statement of truth. It cannot, based on its own merit be true; because if it was it would undo the statement altogether. To say that it simply means that the statement "There is no truth" must be false then leads you to the next iteration of the logical process; the fact that the statement is false actually makes it true and so on and so on and so on... A loop. 'of some sort' is your own editorial additive. There are no trees. Well, we know that is a false statement and can be proven very quickly. There are no trees on that hill contains an additional variable and allows for further investigation to be proven true or false. When does an acorn become a tree? Was it a tree all along? When it sprouts? When it grows it's first leaf? branch? When you can climb it? Is a seedling a tree? Is a sapling a tree? Is a bush a tree? Terms then need to be defined and have their denotation agreed upon. But No is no is no all day long. And without any other available information, you're stuck with dealing with what's in front of you. Sorry so long winded. Hope this helps! tl:dr You're adding stuff that isn't part of the statement to make it work for yourself. No means No.

@@benwelchiv You wrote all that just to be totally wrong? The negation of "there is no truth" is "there is truth", i.e. there is at least some truth, but not necessarily all truth.

My favorite paradox is when Pinocchio says "My nose will grow now"

My favorite paradoxes include: The Pinocchio paradox: "My nose grows now." Since his nose grows whenever he lies, it would not grow. However, since it would not grow, it would make it a lie and it would grow. The time travel paradox: If you go back in time and prevent something devastating from happening (say 9/11), in the altered future your friends and family won't even recognize you and everything you talk about will likely be confusing to them. You will be sent into one of a quadrillion potential futures.

I don't know if I can accurately convey this, but you're right about having to break logic a bit to resolve paradoxes. With the "this statement is false" paradox, I think you have to get a bit meta to resolve it. If the statement is false, then that makes it true, which makes it false again. If you contain that loop and observe that the statement is broken, then you can truly say that the statement is false from the perspective of the higher layer. It's false because it's unresolvable, I guess. I don't know how to concisely put meaning to my brain words.

They boggle our brain because it's like a fire. Within fire, fire thrives but outside of fire fire dies so how does it continue to stay lit? Giving proper context of the experience is crucial in understanding the elements we value and how we evaluate these individual pieces of information and put them together to create a continuation is what truly happens. There is no solution to any question outside of our words so a paradox is just an exception in words.

The problem here, is in the underlying assumption that such statements must be either true or false... there is, however, a third category: "broken!". Broken or internally inconsistent statements should be reformed or else discarded. The sorts of questions a Zen buddhist might answer... "mu!" Take the "Barber" paradox... it's perfectly acceptable to answer "impossible! No such barber could exist!". It is NOT a paradox until you can add the observation "Yet, it can be seen that such a barber exists!" ... only at this point do we have a paradox... ... till then, we have an internally inconsistent statement that may be discarded. "I always lie" isn't in this category, as the speaker clearly "sometimes" lies... but being capable of lying "sometimes" does not force the statement to be true. So, the statement resolves unambiguously to false. "This statement is false" falls into the "broken" category - as it is internally inconsistent. We do not consider broken statements... we reform them or discard them.

The two biggest answers to the Fermi paradox are that a) the inverse square law is a thing, and b) space is _big._ Our farthest piece of technology is barely outside the solar system, and the machinery we have that's purpose built to communicate with it has trouble communicating with it already, because radio signals get lost in background noise extremely quickly. On top of that, even if radio signals maintained their strength indefinitely, ours have only covered 0.2% of the width of the Milky Way.

You do realize the Fermi paradox takes into account how many times intelligent life has developed on earth right? They take that number with all the species known to man, even plant life, and consider how many of them became intelligent, under what living conditions, and basically searched for such conditions on other planets, now we have a general number of how many planets are capable of hosting life, than we take in account how much life earth has had and give it the same chances, under the same conditions. Now obviously this number isn’t exact but it’s a guesstimate as to what “should” be out there….the thing is scientists have discovered anything, much less than the numbers they have come up with. Now we have the problem of why? The dark forest theory? The great filter theory? Something everywhere obviously prevents life from becoming advanced enough to communicate to other planets. Ask yourself why? And look at human nature. Funny joke to end this. Aliens discover earth. Alien pilot: captain we have discovered complex life on this planet Alien captain: incredible, are they intelligent Alien pilot: well sir, they are intelligent but not smart Alien commander: what the hell are you talking about? How can one be smart and stupid at the same time? Alien pilot: well sir, they are smart in the sense that they have developed nuclear energy and weapons Alien commander: oh shit, we better be careful than, so what makes them stupid?

No, the meaning of a word is dependent on the context in which it is used, not equivalent to its dictionary definition. That sentence means: "Not all things commonly referred to as paradoxes actually meet (my/the speaker's) definition of what is paradoxical". It is a true statement, given the context of it being a response to other people calling non-paradoxical things "paradoxes". The word "paradoxes" refers to "everything that people call a paradox", not actual paradoxes. You can take it out of context to make it paradoxical, but what for? It's just a recolored version of: "A is not A", which has no meaning whatsoever. There are infinite falsidical paradoxes. Just think fallaciously and you'll always create one.

One is that the Earth would have been closer to the sun and therefore would have received a larger dose of that 70%.

Zeno probably would have called his paradox an antinomy. ... EXAMPLE 1: ("This statement is false") Language is used to model and communicate concepts, but every kind of model only works when used in the correct way or correct domain. "This statement is false" is a purely linguistic construct devoid of any ties to reality, and devoid of a core idea to communicate. It LOOKS like it is communicating an idea because it has a subject and predicate with the grammatically and structurally correct way of describing a noun, *but* by referencing itself for the subject, any "idea" it would communicate relies on deciphering the sentence first, which quickly devolves into an infinite regress. We can never reach a core idea. Math also models reality, but I doubt many people would take it seriously if someone simply wrote "1 = 0". There's nothing profound about reading/writing a contradiction. You just cause problems if you accept a contradiction as an axiom and try to work with it. In math, we actually use proof by contradiction to check the validity of our starting axioms. Here, it seems like the false assumption, aka the hidden axiom, is that the sentence communicates a logical insight. Speech can be nonsense and completely lack any coherent concept to be communicated. (Keyboard mashing "Soadfra nak janbapf.") or ("Goat purple elevation.") or ("This sentence isn't this sentence.") It's only after you accept the false dichotomy that the sentence MUST be either "true" or "false", that you encounter problems. That should simply be seen as the proof that the sentence is incoherent. ... PS: The examples after that don't even seem like paradoxes. They are just examples of gaps in knowledge, seemingly contradictory evidence, intimidating problems to investigate/solve, or questions that aren't posed in logically rigorous terms. (Logical rigor just means it is perfectly defined and unambiguous. How can anyone answer whether or not souls exist, if we haven't precisely defined what a soul is in the first place?)

Right on. Most people don't realize math and equations are the basis of language. This statement(1) is(=) false(0) is: 1=0: That is just bad math and incorrect language used.

7:13. "There is no truth" if this statement is false, there is truth. However this does not mean that every statement must be true. I can't see the paradoxon here.

the barber simply doesnt cut his hair, ever.

In the case of " this statement is false" i think we could apply the same logic as for the arrow, since we are supposing that the statement is just being proposed to us as a metaphysical question it becomes hard to create a logic around it, but as the arrow must account for existing in time so we must consider that a statement has to be created by a thinking mind and so we can add to the logic of the parox the intent and maybe also the intentions of the entity proposing said paradox, giving us a chance with methodical scrutiny of all known motives and logics to create an appropriate response to each possible explanation for that word to be creted, such as " the entity has inverted knowledge of the word false" or " the entity have said the wrong word" while they may seem like unsatisfing answers to a impossible question what is intresting is that even on a problem easily considered impossible for anyone we can still apply a logic to it and make it so we can actually interact about something that is completly outside of human grasp

In psychology there exists a word called the "shadow". Its basically the unknown unknown in which needs to be known inorder to solve a given conundrum. Finding the shadow between any debate often creates a paradox. It's been described by finding the false positive or the positive falsetivity in a given situation. It's like playing a game of paper rock scissors where both opponents are well versed in a pattern so using reverse psychology would be a wise pick but both players will have the same idea right? In a competitive game this game could go on forever but in psychiatry the only way to win is to pick its counter part and know why right? Now add a 3rd player because often times psychological problems involve another person. It's only if all 3 players believe false positives are positively false before the shadow can be established and result in a positive.... (hopefully) The psychiatrist loses a patient and potential money so its actually in their interest to never find the shadows positive. Schizophrenically we cant trust anyone knowing this! ^^ Bye

Quite interesting. I heard the one about the barber some 40 years ago while in high school. At the time I chocked it up to a riddle with no clear cut answer. I had no idea it was some deep paradox until tonight.

My head has exploded. Thanks. 😂

It's impossible to have nothing when there's always been something

I'm a barber, as was my father. I remember the barber paradox presented by a math teacher and customer in my father's shop when I was 8 years old. I've loved math and science ever since. A similar paradox was used by Spock of Star Trek fame to flummox a group of androids holding the crew hostage to their service. I know many myself. Paradoxes that is, not androids. Lol!

Can you explain somethin? Im having trouble figuring out the barber paradox :(( I am not an english speaker the following question confused me.. " so does the barber shaves himself? if he does not, then he's part of the group which he does shave " i am so confused here like it says " if he does not " how is he part of the group if he does not shave..?

@@mike_theskinny8646 it like this- all men must be shaven and no man including the barber is allowed to shave himself. Only the barber can shave people. He is the only barber, wich means there is no barber to shave him. How can the only barber be shaven when he is the only person allowed to shave people but is not allowed to shave himself? Only a second barber can resolve this but these people can have only one.

Funny thing about Zeno's various paradoxes is that a lot of them brush very close to ideas that are now well known in quantum mechanics. I feel like he would have done well as a quantum physicist in modern times.

The Arrow Paradox is actually true when you account for special relativity. An arrow moving at light speed is not experiencing any time, therefore in its reference frame it is at rest. But to an outside observer the arrow is moving at the speed of light and therefore in motion.

@@donovanives2963 if you calculate observed time dilation at light speed you get infinite time. This makes more intuitive sense if you think of light speed as the rate which entropy can occur. Once at light speed things are moving in equilibrium with that rate so you have zero entropy occurring. You will not perceive any time as passing because two particles moving at the same velocity will never interact with each other.

@@xcskier29 This is speculated, and theorized, with no proof behind it. For starters, there is no way for us, at this point in time, to accurately calculate light speed to begin with. You mentions special relativity, but failed to state the full name. It is the widely accepted Special THEORY of Relativity. This is the closest we have come to possibly understanding the relationship between space and time. So like I said before, there is no PROOF that something traveling at the speed of light does not experience time. This theory also suggests that something traveling faster then the speed of light will be going backwards in time, even though it is not widely referenced in the Special Theory of Relativity. There is only speculation.

I just want to know why we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway.

Decided to randomly watch this video and now I need a bottle of vodka. Thanks for that.

to address your point at around 4:00, time is movement. in other words, time is energy itself. as the small little bits that make up the small little bits that make up the less small little bits and so on bump into one another, time progresses one stage. if time is infinitely divisible, then it's easy to conclude that every activity of "bit bumping" as i like to call it happens at an individual point in time. considering that is the most rapid activity possible, that can be easily concluded to be the smallest measurable unit of time. the problem with "bit bumping" is those bits could be thousands of lightyears apart if not further from their leader and follower in the "time line" or "cosmic algorithm" as i like to call it. each "bit bump" is the transitioning of one node to another. sets of nodes (not necessarily next to one another on the cosmic algorithm) are events, things, people, ideas, and so on as we recognize them as such.
