"I am lying"
So will the philosophers of Apolyton please tell me why I should care that this is a paradox?

Is there an acutal answer Ash?

Probably not. I'm in the mood to have fun with the philosopher kids some more, they're a great bunch.

Asher -- you and a couple of others are already continuing the long-winded dead horse in the other thread.
So I doubt this one will be open much longer.

This is a tangent, and I would hate to threadjack a threadjack with it like some sort of branching thread...

Here's another one for the philosopher kings: how can a dead horse be long-winded?

But you guys pratically TURNED that thread into your own topic -- so why not maintain the thread-jacked topic in the other thread rather than open a new one?

That topic is going, this is a different one.
Think about it MrFun: I would head to threadjack a threadjack...

Why should any of us care about whether you care about said statement is a paradox or not?

What if I thread-jack this thread, so you have to go back to your original thread-jack, before someone thread-jacks your thread-jack into something else?

Re: "I am lying"
The moral of this is the following: self-referencing loops may be dangerous. If subprogram A refers to subprogram B, whilst B in turn refers to A, the resulting dead loop may cause your computer to explode.

ummm......i don't understand why you caring about it being a paradox has anything to do with philosophy

 Apparently Asher had followed your advice well before it was issued.

OTOH, "I am lying" could also mean "I am lying in bed".  It turns out quite philosophical.

Bah, I only enjoy taking pot shots at the Logical Positivists these days.

Nah, circular linkage is standard fair these days.
It seems computer scientists have solved this problem while the philosophers couldn't.
