Question


Why is this a paradox? Can you solve it? REDUX people were overthinking this.?
There is a village where the barber shaves all those and only those who do not shave themselves. Who shaves the barber?


Answer


I think the paradox comes from us having certain assumptions.brbrWhat if the barber is female or some other reason and doesnt have to be shaved? What in the sentence says that the barber must be shaved?brbrWhat if the barber is from another village and travels there? Then he isnt included in the quotpeople in the villagequot.

Answer


It sounds similar to creation.brbrGod creates all those and only those who do not create themselves. Who creates God?brbrHonestly, I dont like this paradox though. It hurts my head. gt.ltbrbrbrEDIT The barber cant be a woman because the paradox states that the barber shaves all those who do not shave themselves including women. Im not going to even attempt to understand where the barber shaves women.brbrEDITx Wow, not even in the Philosophy section is anyone getting the paradox and this is one of the smarter sections. This is a good paradox.

Has anyone thought of there being another barber in town? Maybe one that is not discriminate in whom he shaves?
