Yep, you decide your fate. Or, just post paradoxes/whatever and the like.

I think there is one paradox that goes like this:

you want to go 1 distance

first you need to go 1/2 the distance, but before you can do that, you need to go 1/4th the distance, but before that you have to go 1/8th the distance, etc.

Any paradoxes you want to share?

Actually, if you would take the time to read the actual post instead of just the topic you'll see that it's a perfectly decent thread.

So, let the discussion begin again.

I think that's Xeno's paradox. (Zeno? I dunno). But yeah, I find paradoxes such as that one interesting.

It depends on how, really. The theme of the paradox is that it keeps halving the distance over and over, and goes on infinitely. However, if you were to talk about the half-life of an element, it would keep halving until a certain point where it actually would stop. And, technically, since no person is as small as one point (which is infinitely small), you would eventually reach the distance, ala a half-life. This would be dependant on your shoe size or what have you. It's possible, though.

Thats not a paradox Graviteh, at least, it doesn't seem like one, it just seems like common knoweldge, as long as your word it in your mind right.

Yes to go to your 1, you have to go to the first of course, you'll pass it, thus you went to it. Paradox solved.

And as for solving the paradox of this thread, simply don't vote.

Here's more on Zeno's paradoxes. Like I said before, it's interesting.

If you fail, do you fail or do succeed at failing?

Yes, but if you succeed at failing, then you fail. There's no difference.
