Evertything I say is a lie. Except that, and that, and that....

Alright, so Ren and-then-some proposed that I do a blog about paradox. And boy-howdy, I think I will!

Now, most of you know what a paradox is, but for those who don't, let me break it down for you:

Now, there are several types of paradoxes. I'm not going into a full list, but you can check them out at wikipedia. So, with that in mind, what is a paradox? On one hand, it's a statement that seems contradictory and false, but really isn't. "It is better to give then receive". Now, we all know this saying, but isn't the joy of getting better than that of giving? You can figure that one out for yourself.

A paradox is also a statement of conclusion that, despite a what seems like a valid argument based on what appears to be valid statements, leads to a conclusion that is senseless or fallacious. This goes back to the halfway point theory. If you want to get from point A to point B, you must first get to a halfway point, ect, ect.

Now, with all this in mind, Ren and-then-some has asked me to create my own paradox. But, why not take it a step further? How about we make a "super-paradox". Now, I'm not sure if there is already such a thing, but let's say there isn't. This could very well be the first super paradox of all time, which could bring me fame and fortune (Hot dawg, we have a weiner). So, with this in mind, we have to make it a good one. I don't want to be known as "the guy who tried, and failed, to make a super paradox". Or "the man who ruined paradoxes" because that would suck. BIG time.

So, with this in mind I will be creating notes, and what will now be called super notes, of my adventure into the human psyche to discover, and create a super-paradox.

That's all folks!
