The Crocodile's Dilemma:

A crocodile kidnaps a child and it tells child's father that it will return the child if father correctly predicts what it will do with the child. If the father predicts that the crocodile will return the child, the transaction becomes easy. Had the crocodile planned on returning the child, the prediction is correct and the child is returned. Had the crocodile planned on keeping the child, the prediction is incorrect and the child is kept.

What happens if the father predicts that the child will be kept?

Neither Pinocchio nor his nose are an omniscient being that. The nose "mechanic" doesn't reveal the ultimate truth, but only applies to Pinocchio's own truth.
Pinocchio is a dumb kid, and he doesn't understand consequences and paradoxes. This statement was not said in bad intention to screw with the system.
When he says "my nose will grow", he's trying to predict the future based on past events and current trends. He saw that as a regular liar, an upcoming lie is inevitable and will, at some point, occur. This statement of "Shit happens, yo", is true as far as the little dipshit is aware of. His nose will not grow at that point.

If he says it WILL grow, he could be talking about a point in the future, an estimation. He didn't say "My nose will grow despite me saying truth", he just said "It'll grow".

And even IF it does grow for an untruthful statement and in hindsight turns this statement into truth, so what? The nose isn't held responsible to anyone. It's not a sentient being. It's a nose. At the moment of the statement, as far as the nose is concerned, a lie was being told and the nose grew. Anything beyond that is irrelevant.
Like I said, neither Pinocchio nor his nose are omniscient beings. Pinocchio says what he believes is truth or false, and the nose only reacts to that belief.

It's called the liar's paradox. The first sentence says that the second sentence is true, and the second sentence says that the first sentence is false. So, according to the first sentence, if it were true, the second sentence would be true, which says that the first sentence is false, and that means that what the first sentence says is wrong i.e. the second sentence is not true, so that makes the first sentence true again.. and goes on and on etc. The point in this paradox is that you cannot give either of the sentences a truth value (you cannot call them true, nor false), thereby questioning our common sense about everything being either true or false. (if it is not true, then it must be false, and vice-versa)

Okay, no i don't understand. How is saying he's going to eat him is the wrong answer if he WAS going to eat him?

They're both right.

If God can do anything, then he can make a rock so incredibly heavy that even he cannot lift it. But then that means he cannot lift the rock. Which means he can't do whatever. But if God can lift the rock, then that means that he can't make a rock so heavy that he cannot lift it.

No, that's not a paradox, that's just stupid. The agator says he'll let the kid go if the mom guesses what he was going to do to the boy (which was eat him). If she says "you were going to eat him", then the crocodile should let the kid go. It's not a paradox, it's just a dirty jew crock lying in front of her face.

If you don't believe this is a paradox then you're either a tranny or a faggot which is also kind of a paradox because you can only be a tranny AND a faggot.

The egg. Dinosaurs existed far before chickens. Also so did other types of birds.

>>671788534
This one is a bit dicey because if relies heavily on semantics. People will tell you that a 'sound' by definition isn't complete until it hits an eardrum or a microphone, etc.
>>
>>671788534
The presence of a human being does not affect whether or not sound waves travel through the air.
>>
>>671788608
Evolutionary: The egg, because the egg was from another animal and evolved into a chicken.

If you look from God's perspective: The chicken because God created the Chicken.

Friction in air. If something were to move air, it makes a noise, no matter what. Swing your arm as hard as you can, you'll ear a woosh. Now, imagine that in a place where no one hears it. It's still a noise, it's just that no one hears it.

The transaction is logically smooth but unpredictable if the parent guesses that the child will be returned, but a dilemma arises for the crocodile if the parent guesses that the child will not be returned. In the case that the crocodile decides to keep the child, he violates his terms: the parent's prediction has been validated, and the child should be returned. However, in the case that the crocodile decides to give back the child, he still violates his terms, even if this decision is based on the previous result: the parent's prediction has been falsified, and the child should not be returned. The question of what the crocodile should do is therefore paradoxical, and there is no justifiable solution.

The Fermi Paradox falls apart under many ideas, first off, FtL may not be possible so even travelling great distances would be so monumental they don't bother and become sedentary.
Maybe they are but have put in regulations not to mess with undeveloped sapients.
Maybe they are assholes.
Maybe we don't have the correct instruments to detect them yet.

Thats an oxymoron, I dont know if that nig knows what a paradox is

Artificial intelligence is programmed to think there fore it isnt sentient, BUT... it thinks therefore it is, but it was programmed to think it is sentient. This is a truly modern paradox
