Never said I was smarter than them. You must enjoy putting words in people's mouths.

You know how Terrance Howard insists he knows that 1x1=2 and that he knows better than all of the greatest mathematicians in the world? That's you right now.

They've all pondered the "obvious paradox" that you see right through. If you think "it isn't a paradox at all it is just syntax mumbo jumbo" then you obviously think yourself to be smarter than them. That's basic inference, any philosopher of your caliber would accept that basic logic

Keep digging yourself deeper and just citing some other philosopher as if they're infallible instead of engaging with my arguments. If you have nothing to say of substance then stop wasting my time

I already refuted your "arguments" and repeating them won't change anything Terrance. You aren't going to make 1x1=2.

What's more likely, you figured something out that philosophers have pondered for millennia, or you just can't quite grasp the concept?

Come on Terrence, grow up. Just a little.
