    00:00:04,000 –> 00:00:07,000
    One, two, three, let’s go.

    3

    4
    00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:23,000
    Welcome back to the Alien Space ship talk show podcast.

    5
    00:00:23,000 –> 00:00:25,000
    In case you just join in us,

    6
    00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:32,000
    we’ll listen to the Alien Space ship talk show podcast with American’s Emily.

    7
    00:00:32,000 –> 00:00:36,000
    [Music]

    8
    00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:44,000
    Then obviously it contradicts itself because the statement says everything I say is a lie.

    9
    00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:52,000
    Right, now if that statement is not true, in other words everything I say is a lie is not true,

    10
    00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:55,000
    then it also contradicts the statement.

    11
    00:00:55,000 –> 00:01:02,000
    So it’s one of those paradoxes which basically if it’s true it’s false and if it’s false it’s true.

    12
    00:01:02,000 –> 00:01:04,000
    So it just doesn’t work.

    13
    00:01:04,000 –> 00:01:10,000
    Now there’s another very quite well known paradox called the crocodile paradox.

    14
    00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:13,000
    And I’ll be interested in your views on this.

    15
    00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:18,000
    Now there’s a crocodile at the zoo and there’s a lady with a little boy.

    16
    00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:27,000
    Now sadly the crocodile manages to grab the little boy and happy has this little boy sort of in its jaws

    17
    00:01:27,000 –> 00:01:33,000
    but it’s a clever crocodile because it can talk and he sees the alarm on the lady’s face on the mother’s face.

    18
    00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:41,000
    So he says, “Look, if you tell me correctly whether I’m going to keep the boy and possibly eat him

    19
    00:01:41,000 –> 00:01:48,000
    or give him back to you, then I will return the boy.”

    20
    00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:52,000
    Okay, so she’s given her two options to choose.

    21
    00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:58,000
    Either the crocodile will keep an eat the little boy or he’ll return the boy to the mother.

    22
    00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:02,000
    Now what she thinks as well, what can I say here?

    23
    00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:08,000
    What she decides after thinking about it she’ll say, “I think you’ll keep the boy.”

    24
    00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:12,000
    She’ll keep an eat him terrible thing for her to have to say.

    25
    00:02:12,000 –> 00:02:17,000
    Now that gives the crocodile a dilemma and this is where the paradox comes in.

    26
    00:02:17,000 –> 00:02:22,000
    So the mother has said, “I think you’re going to keep an eat my little boy.”

    27
    00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:29,000
    So the crocodile thinks, “Well, if I actually do keep the little boy and eat him, then the mother is right

    28
    00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:34,000
    and I said I will give him back if she was right.”

    29
    00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:38,000
    So he said, “That obviously something that wouldn’t work.”

    30
    00:02:38,000 –> 00:02:47,000
    He said, “But if I do actually give the little boy back, then the mother was wrong in her choice of what I would do.

    31
    00:02:47,000 –> 00:02:49,000
    And if she was wrong I was going to eat him.”

    32
    00:02:49,000 –> 00:02:52,000
    Can you see the paradox that’s there?

    33
    00:02:52,000 –> 00:02:59,000
    By giving her those choices, the creative himself, the crocodile, an impossible situation

    34
    00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:05,000
    and there’s quite a lot of these sort of paradoxes of words on a little story like that.

    35
    00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:10,000
    I mean, kind of deal with truth, untruth and so on.

    36
    00:03:10,000 –> 00:03:19,000
    I mean, you could say something somebody might say is the word impossible is not in my vocabulary.

    37
    00:03:19,000 –> 00:03:23,000
    Well, clearly it is, isn’t it? Because I’ve used it in a sentence.

    38
    00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:27,000
    The only rule is that there are no rules.

    39
    00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:34,000
    Well, again, that’s a bit of a contradiction because that fact is there’s a rule which says there’s no rules.

    40
    00:03:34,000 –> 00:03:39,000
    So this kind of leads us a little bit into truth. What ultimately is truth?

    41
    00:03:39,000 –> 00:03:45,000
    Now, we all know these days that people seem to say, “This is my truth.”

    42
    00:03:45,000 –> 00:03:49,000
    A lot of famous people say that, “Don’t make this is my truth.”

    43
    00:03:49,000 –> 00:03:56,000
    So, Kuz, you first of all, what do you think people mean when they talk about my truth?

    44
    00:03:56,000 –> 00:04:02,000
    I think they just say it.

    45
    00:04:02,000 –> 00:04:08,000
    I think what they say is, “This is what I believe.”

    46
    00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:15,000
    So they’re not really saying, “This is my truth.” They own the truth.

    47
    00:04:15,000 –> 00:04:18,000
    I don’t know, it’s confusing.

    48
    00:04:18,000 –> 00:04:24,000
    I’ve managed to confuse myself now.

    49
    00:04:24,000 –> 00:04:32,000
    You’ve confused me because you’ve now put a situation where I don’t know if this is going on live.

    50
    00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:37,000
    There’s about six of me going up a staircase, the nearer of the top.

    51
    00:04:37,000 –> 00:04:39,000
    Anyway, that’s beside the point.

    52
    00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:43,000
    But yeah, you have confused yourself and I think you’ve confused me.

    53
    00:04:43,000 –> 00:04:45,000
    So what exactly do you mean then?

    54
    00:04:45,000 –> 00:04:51,000
    When people say, “This is my truth.” You just simply say that’s how I feel about something.

    55
    00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:53,000
    Is that what you’re saying?

    56
    00:04:53,000 –> 00:04:58,000
    Yeah, that’s how I feel about it.

    57
    00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:00,000
    This is my take on it.

    58
    00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:01,000
    Let’s put it that way.

    59
    00:05:01,000 –> 00:05:04,000
    That’s a good way to put it.

    60
    00:05:04,000 –> 00:05:05,000
    What about you, Jerome?

    61
    00:05:05,000 –> 00:05:06,000
    What do you think?

    62
    00:05:06,000 –> 00:05:12,000
    I think they’re just trying to say, “The outside of the story of the event or whatever.”

    63
    00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:16,000
    But that’s taking place.

    64
    00:05:16,000 –> 00:05:19,000
    That’s the way I see it.

    65
    00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:24,000
    Someone trying to say, “Easter,” just trying to say, “Easter” in the story.

    66
    00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:29,000
    Because yeah, several sides are doing a story.

    67
    00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:34,000
    So there are two of more people involved in an incident or an issue.

    68
    00:05:34,000 –> 00:05:38,000
    Each of them have to say, “The outside of the story.”

    69
    00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:42,000
    So I’m thinking saying the truth is saying, “The outside of the story.”

    70
    00:05:42,000 –> 00:05:44,000
    That’s the way I see it.

    71
    00:05:44,000 –> 00:05:47,000
    I think that’s a very good way to put it.

    72
    00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:50,000
    I think it recognizes this idea of my truth.

    73
    00:05:50,000 –> 00:05:57,000
    It may not be worldly truth or universal truth, but it’s my truth as I see the world.

    74
    00:05:57,000 –> 00:06:04,000
    It recognizes how actually all of us live in our own minds.

    75
    00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:10,000
    The world is always from, it can only be from our perspective because our existence,

    76
    00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:15,000
    everything we perceive and feel is from within our own minds.

    77
    00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,000
    Actually, sometimes.

    78
    00:06:18,000 –> 00:06:21,000
    We’re going to take a short break now.

    79
    00:06:21,000 –> 00:06:24,000
    We’re back shortly.

  • If I Say This To You, “Everything I Say Is A Lie” – Trevor Gear Introduces Paradoxes And Freewill

    Transcripts

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:21,400
    Welcome onboard to the Alien Space Ship Talk Show Emmy Hikins, Trevor Gear and Femi Madariola

    2
    00:00:21,400 –> 00:00:28,840
    A podcast where no topic is off limits, fastening a seatbelt, stick the cat along, your

    3
    00:00:28,840 –> 00:00:36,840
    ring for a bumpy ride. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

    4
    00:00:36,840 –> 00:00:44,840
    Ah, right, okay, finally. Breath, do you want to do the open introduction for us please?

    5
    00:00:44,840 –> 00:00:50,020
    Yes indeed, well welcome along. Last two weeks, what’s the cast called the Alien Space

    6
    00:00:50,020 –> 00:00:55,920
    Ship where we discuss all sorts of things. Hopefully you’ll find some of it of interest.

    7
    00:00:55,920 –> 00:01:04,080
    I’m Trevor Gear and he calls me, Bruv. And I’m Emmy Hikins and he calls me Cuz.

    8
    00:01:04,080 –> 00:01:13,680
    And yeah, joining today is Jerome from Ramboom. Yeah, so right, Jerome. All the way from Birmingham

    9
    00:01:13,680 –> 00:01:20,920
    and we’re live. Right, so, Breath, paradoxes. Yeah. Yeah, well we’ll see if we can touch

    10
    00:01:20,920 –> 00:01:27,800
    on three things. Really, paradoxes, free will, truth. So we’ll see how far we get with

    11
    00:01:27,800 –> 00:01:34,280
    it. But we’ve looked at a few paradoxes before because some of them may be can’t really

    12
    00:01:34,280 –> 00:01:44,080
    be true. They can’t exist. So if I say to you this statement, everything I say is a lie.

    13
    00:01:44,080 –> 00:01:51,520
    Now, can you do you think that’s a logical thing to say and tell me what you think is. Incidentally,

    14
    00:01:51,520 –> 00:01:57,160
    I can’t really see you. I’ve only got your sign in stuff for what we were doing before,

    15
    00:01:57,160 –> 00:02:01,760
    but I guess that doesn’t matter. Alright, I’m going to minute. Oh, I need to stop this

    16
    00:02:01,760 –> 00:02:11,600
    share. That’s probably being shared live as well. Oh, dear, man. So stop sharing. Let’s

    17
    00:02:11,600 –> 00:02:21,400
    see that. Let’s see that. No, it’s not sharing actually. So I’m surprised. Yeah, it’s not.

    18
    00:02:21,400 –> 00:02:30,360
    Can you see me, Jerome? Yeah, I can see you at the very top. You’re half hidden, but my main

    19
    00:02:30,360 –> 00:02:36,840
    screen is signing to VK what you were doing before. I mean, if we can’t change it, don’t worry.

    20
    00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:46,920
    Alright, I’m going to close that. Oh, yeah. Um, signing to VK. Alright, so let me see. Let me see

    21
    00:02:46,920 –> 00:03:03,560
    how we can do that. Okay. It’s very well. It’s strange. Now, if I quit Safari, that’s

    22
    00:03:03,560 –> 00:03:11,880
    strange that you can see signing to VK. What can you see now? Oh, we got something else to do with it.

    23
    00:03:11,880 –> 00:03:22,600
    Okay, that’s strange. Because you’re not, we’re not even, it’s not even showing, I’m going to

    24
    00:03:27,160 –> 00:03:35,080
    exit for when. What about now? Can you still see signing VK? It’s a different page, but it’s still

    25
    00:03:35,080 –> 00:03:40,840
    down. It’s still to do with what we were looking at before. Wow, that’s strange. Okay. I’m

    26
    00:03:40,840 –> 00:03:53,400
    wondering. May just have to leave it. It’s strange. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So we’ll just carry on. Let’s see.

    27
    00:03:56,840 –> 00:04:03,160
    Okay, well, let’s just carry on then. And I’ll come back to the question I asked you. I asked you both.

    28
    00:04:03,160 –> 00:04:06,920
    Right. Does this sentence make sense? Is it a possible

    29
    00:04:06,920 –> 00:04:15,640
    sentence that does make sense? Everything I say is a liar. Can that be true? We’re talking about

    30
    00:04:15,640 –> 00:04:21,240
    truth as well here. Can that statement be true? Everything I say is a liar.

    31
    00:04:23,080 –> 00:04:31,400
    I think it’s, I think it’s, I think it’s true. I believe everything you say is a lie. So

    32
    00:04:31,400 –> 00:04:39,160
    there we go. Are you taking that question seriously?

    33
    00:04:39,160 –> 00:04:47,080
    Everything I say is a lie. What about you Jerome? Do you think that sentence? Does that sentence

    34
    00:04:47,080 –> 00:04:56,600
    make sense? It for me it doesn’t because it doesn’t for me doesn’t because there’s no way you would have

    35
    00:04:56,600 –> 00:05:04,760
    come to someone the wrong good morning cause and it’s definitely morning. So not everything,

    36
    00:05:04,760 –> 00:05:11,720
    there’s no way everything you would have said would be a lie. Yeah. Yeah. No. Let’s say comment.

    37
    00:05:11,720 –> 00:05:19,000
    That’s true. But the other thing about it is if how can I say this? If everything I say is a lie,

    38
    00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:28,600
    if that statement is true, then obviously it contradicts itself because the statement says

    39
    00:05:28,600 –> 00:05:36,840
    everything I say is a lie. Right. Now if that statement is not true, in other words,

    40
    00:05:36,840 –> 00:05:43,080
    everything I say is a lie is not true. And it also contradicts the statement. So it’s one of those

    41
    00:05:43,080 –> 00:05:50,520
    paradoxes which basically if it’s true, it’s false and if it’s false, it’s true. So it just doesn’t

    42
    00:05:50,520 –> 00:05:56,600
    work. Now there’s another very quite well known paradox called the crocodile paradox.

    43
    00:05:56,600 –> 00:06:04,040
    And I’d be interested in your views on this. Now there’s a crocodile at the zoo and there’s a

    44
    00:06:04,040 –> 00:06:12,120
    lady with her little boy. Now sadly the crocodile manages to grab the little boy and he has this

    45
    00:06:12,120 –> 00:06:18,920
    little boy sort of in its jaws but it’s a clever crocodile. We’re going to take a short break now,

    46
    00:06:18,920 –> 00:06:25,000
