Unexpected Hanging Paradox (wikipedia.org)
11 points by dloss on June 26, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments


I studied philosophy for several years and love paradoxes. So much time is wasted debating stuff like this though which is just people arguing about ambiguity and is a great example of philosophical naval gazing.


I fantasise about sending a philosophy buff back in time to ancient Rome and setting them loose in the Greek schools. Those Roman senators will have their children return to them with ideas so advanced and so convoluted that they might as well be speaking another language
