Paradoxes don't exist, paradox is simply invalid logic. Nature of logic is binary. It's either valid or invalid.

@AKEmon869 paradox can also be shifting logic depending on the answer. The sentence "I always lie" is a good example as if its true then its false and if its false then its true.

@Mugnika "I always lie" if we took the statement on its own? Then it's circular reasoning. It's same as this "This statement is false". Example: let's say there's a chatbot & whatever it states is misformation? Then the statement "I always lie" is valid here cuz it leads to a conclusion & unlike circular reasoning.

@AKEmon869 there is a difference.
the statement presupposes that the person has lied all the time to this point, when he says he always lies he is telling the truth and yet by telling the truth he is lying because that means he does not always lie. So when the statements is true it is actually false, but when its false its true.

@Mugnika I understand. My understanding is that: The opposite of 'Always' is 'Never'.
If the person did say "I always lie" at some point? Then 'Always' lost it's meaning. The person does have the tendency for give accurate information at some point because 'Always' means they'll tell misinformation all the time no matter what. More clear version will be like: "I've lied before always, now I'll lie less often"

@AKEmon869 it's less about that and more that the answer of the paradox changes the outcome. If they always lie then they are telling the truth now but that means they are lying about "always lying" but if they are lying about it now then they are telling the truth but if they are telling the truth they are lying and so on
