The Liar's Paradox: Solved!

Hey there, if you're watching this, it's because you're on my channel!

Today I want to bring to light a solution of a paradox I woke up with on Thursday, March 23 (2017). This is definitely not what I normally do, but not something I'm going to shy from as this type of thought and debate really intrigues me and is one of my favourite things to do!

This was a different type of editing than I'm used to as well, so I apologize if it is bad or amateur, as well as my descriptions of the logical process (even though they're direct descriptions, it's hard to picture if you're not ready for it, kinda.

If you enjoyed the video or found it interesting, please like and subscribe if you haven't already!

If you want me to try to tackle other paradoxes, let me know, and I will do my best!

Basic principles of quantum mathematics with lots of discrete mathematics! Way to go Draenen!

It's not necesarily true, nor necesarily faue, nor neither, nor both, it's arbitrary.

mindblowing theory that doesnt make sense
to break it down simply : (object)(state)=sentance false
obj=fls
but if x=f then state is tru
then obj=tru
but if x=f then state is fls
x=fls
x=tru
(x is t)(x is f)
(xx is tf and xf is 0)
-two sentances are true and false
-false sentance is none(as in one sentance)
if one sentance connot exist as false
then this sentance is true

I really enjoyed your video but i think there are a few errors especially with your conclusion.
At first you should know that it is wrong to say that all paradoxes are unsolvable.
There have been a lot of so called paradoxes throughout history that actually have a solution. For example Russels paradox or Zenons paradox of motion.
The problem with your particular solution is thath you do not break the "cycle".
When you say that the statement "This statement is false." is true the problem arises again. Because when the statement is true then it is false and so on.

@Draenen I really like your answer to this! I have an answer to The Liar's Paradox too that I just posted with different reasoning! Could you let me know if you think it is a "true" solution?

I liked it, I learned about why we should try to solve paradoxes. Good job at solving it. I agree. I "solved" the grandfather paradox with my own solution and I had the same "wake up" moment you did.

The liar paradox is not a paradox because the act of asserting it breaks a law of logic. Therefore, it's just nonsense and represents no proposition.
