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

00:00:07,000 –> 00:00:19,000

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
