another logical question.Before sentencing a convicted person, a judge said to him, "i will allow you to make just one statement. If that statement is true, you will be fined $50000. If that statement is false, you will be jailed for one month. But you will not be both fined and jailed." Can the person make a statement that will allow him to go free without being fined or jailed?
Yes the lucky man can get free.
He can state a statement which can be neither true nor fasle.
For example, the guy says, I am a lying.
If he says the truth, by what he says, he is lying.
If he is lying, so what he says must be falsh, that is, he is saying the truth.
This is an example of self-contradiction.

And you are here, now, always.
People are not memories that you can put into words. They live.
