Philosophy and Logic: Argument 1 Paradoxes Part 2 Liar Paradox

Hello, this is Anayah. In this video, I solve the Liar Paradox. Just a special side note, the rule that I discover in this video can be shown to apply in many of the other paradoxes. Okay, so the liar paradox goes like this: It strives to ask a true false question, and, in actuality, everything is either true or false. I agree with this premise. I believe that all things are either true or false. So, the Liar Paradox asks the following: is the following statement true or false: this statement is false. This paradox is intended to create a contradiction and an endless loop. In mathematical equation, it would be phrased as such: X equals not X. Can X not equal itself? The answer to the Liar Paradox is false. How can it be false without creating a contradiction? Let me ask you what words are. What are words? Well, words on their own right have no meaning. In order for words to have meaning, there must be a mind that assigns it is own unique meaning. Thus, we need to ask ourselves, what is this question asking? And the answer is the question is written with the words This sentence is false. But what the sentence means and what the sentence is asking us is the following sentence true or false: this sentence is both false and true. That is what the statement this statement is false means. It is classis reductionism versus holism. And this is holistic. So, the answer is false, because the meaning of the sentence is false, and the meaning is asking us if the sentence can both be true and false. And the answer is no, it can not be both true and false.

@kristijan0kroflin I can see you are a physicalist. You don't understand the true nature of the mind. the brain is not the cause of the mind. the brain merely is a limitation on the mind.

I ask you, hanging around with animals all day long, will you ever learn their means of communication? probably not. but if you do, it is this irst understanding which allows you then to use the empirical data. without the understanding/philosophy, the empirical is useless.

[carlsonap16]

@kristijan0kroflin its not as simple as that. the person has to also make the connections, which isn't simply a matter of copy and paste, but is a matter of philosophical discovery.

[carlsonap16]

@kristijan0kroflin without philosophy, work is meaningless.being an engineer or any other kind of worker has no value if its not guided by philosophy.furthermore, philosophy is what allows for application. without philosophy, you would not have comprehension/understanding. perception is meaningless if there is no understanding. you can hear me speak in my native tongue english all day long, but if you dont understand the language english, it will have no meaning for you, just empty sounds.

@kristijan0kroflin this is true, however, philosophy is superior to empirical, it is not equal to it in any way.

[carlsonap16]

@kristijan0kroflin it appears we are at a fundamental disagreement of philosophy. you remind me of my friend who says empricialism is superior to philosophy.

[carlsonap16]

@kristijan0kroflin it is only logic and philosophy which can find the truth. if one perfectly utizlis the laws of logic, they would not exaggerate, diminuize or neglect any parts, and everyone is capable of this, but few ever come close.

[carlsonap16]

@kristijan0kroflin when someone says they feel cold or warm, that is primarily not a subjective thing, but primairly objective for that person's body, in that their body is composed in such a way that their body is warm or cold under those conditions, also that our interaction with the environment causes our body to react in a crtain way.

@kristijan0kroflin liking blue does not depend on your body, but depends on your will, which is an aspect of the mind and not of the body.  the mind is influenced by the body, but it is ultimately the mind which decides which color to prefer, and any othe rpreference, although a mind might be predisposed to preferring a certain color, it is never inevitably so linked to one as a preferenc.

[carlsonap16]

@kristijan0kroflin truthfully, all colors are equal. it is only when a person submits their personal subjective preference of which they feel is more beautiful at the time does it become lobsided to one color over the other, but this statement is objective in that it is indeed the preference of said person.

[carlsonap16]

@kristijan0kroflin a sentence that is vague is not incomplete, only thtat it is vague and ambiguous. blue is preferrable to other colors in my belief. y?because i like blue. that is an objective statement of my subjective belief. it is not necessary to see something in order to know it is there, only that it needs be deduced as being necessary can you know it is true. i personally doubt so many things that scientists say, that i'm not convinced about most of what they say, including gravity.
