Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

It's only a paradox if you're a mentally handicapped bigot. It makes perfect sense to everyone else.

It's formally designated as a paradox because of the way it is originally worded. Those who you mention will abuse it to make it non-logical andnnon-sensic; those who understand realize it is formally a paradox but to all practical matters it is a contract, as we have expressed here.

Who's in charge of formally designating paradoxes?

A paradox doesn't need a body of certification.

It's far from a formal system, but here's a video I like that this thread reminded me of: "the five kinds of paradox"

Or you could be like the teacher in the post, who loves the concept but never happened to think of it...

Nah, I don't need to think about it. It's an astoundingly easy concept to grasp. And it's not a paradox unless you're a pedantic knob. In a civilized society, you don't tolerate outright hatred. Very very very simple. I don't care if Nazis and bigots and transphobes don't understand, because I don't respect them.
