Another Paradox

[KillerZebra]

If Pinocchio says "My nose is going to grow.". What would happen?

 

[Faron]

nevermind, /revote.

 

[Lord Killington]

Apparently, a Doctor (trust him, he's a Doctor) said this about it.

Dr. Vallicella argues that the future tense sentence cannot generate the Liar paradox because this sentence cannot be ever treated as a falsity. He explains his point with this example: "Suppose I predict that tomorrow morning, at 6 AM, my blood pressure will be 125/75, but my prediction turns out false: my blood pressure the next morning is 135/85. No one who heard my prediction could claim that I lied when I made it even if I had the intention of deceiving my hearers. For although I made (what turned out to be) a false statement with the intention to deceive, I had no way of knowing exactly what my blood pressure would be the next day.

EDIT: Although he said "My nose is going to grow" he didn't say when. And I'd presume that at some point in the future, he will lie.

 

[KillerZebra]

how are you going to say no then say yes his nose will grow lol

 

[takethepants]

Lord Killington's quote is right. Since it's the future tense, it can't be true or false since it hasn't happened yet.

im not asking for a quote no one cares about. im asking what you guys think lol

[The Dude]

His nose will grow.

 

[Perseus Dash Jackson]

His nose will spontaneously explode and implode.

There are 2 possebilities
1. His nose will grow to over 9000 and will make enough wood for the whole world=> we saved the amazon (LIE GOD DAMN PINOKIO)
2. In the future he will lie, so this statment is false.

got to love random

cba to make another paradox poll however i like this one (read it carefully):
if you were to randomly pick an answer to this question, what is the probability you will get it correct?
A) 25%
B) 50%
C) 75%
D) 25%

No, his nose would not grow. If he says it won't grow and his nose is still normal, then I don't see how his nose could grow. Otherwise Pinnochio in real life could be a fail-proof fortune teller/guesser.

 

[DJ Über Space Whale!]

i rly dont care. He is a fictional character and therefore has no effect and me or my future. Leave me be. add that as a choice.
