    I don’t think you’ve quite clocked it. It’s not that one of the statements has to be wrong, because that’s just a point in the cycle. If A is wrong, then B is right, which means A is right, which means B is wrong, which means A is wrong and the cycle begins anew.

    They aren’t wrong, they’re contradictory. There is no logical way to parse the two statements together. That’s what a paradox is.

      I don’t think that “nuh-uh! Uh-huh!” Rises to the level of a paradox.

      The phrases can be contradictory without being paradoxical. It’s only a paradox if both of the phrases are true at the same time.

        You have understood nothing.

        Neither statement can be true OR false. If statement A is true, statement B is true, which means statement A is false. To simplify, if statement A is true, statement A is false.

        “This statement is false” can be neither true nor false. That is the most basic paradox there is.
