Another Example of Goedel’s proof
Okay, I’m being lazy; this is an easy post. I do have some good stuff in the saddlebag, though.
A while back (actually last May) I wrote about Goedel’s proof, about how he proved that it’s impossible to have a completely consistent set of rules about anything. If you skipped the post, you should go read it. It’s not exactly about writing, it’s about a fact of life: We’ll never figure things out completely because contradictions always exist.
So here’s proof. Is this Break of Day comic logical or not?
Answer: Yes, it’s logical, but it’s also contradictory.
PS. I can’t help making a writing comment: It should be “…petition to help stop us.”
