I wonder if...

... it's technically possible to make a paradox out of any sentence? I was checking my friend's facebook wall, and I realized that most of his posts were, or could be easily made into through theoretical/philosophical questions, paradoxes.

Re: I wonder if...

Nice paradox, but please post your thoughts on this. Do you agree or think that it's impossible?

Re: I wonder if...

In theory, every thing is a paradox, for if it wasn't, then wouldn't we understand everything?  We do not understand how the world was created!  So tell me is not what i'm writing here a paradox, for isn't it a wonder how this was even typed?

Words to live by. But then if someone asks who the quote was by, how should I respond? Sss? Lol.

The keys you hit send binary code into the computer and translate into the letters on the screen that you see before you
And I say no

Re: I wonder if...

Everything sends binary code to the computer and returns back as something that a human can understand. However, what happens if you type in binary code? Then you get the exact same binary code back. I'm not even sure if thats a paradox or a meaningless puzzle. Or both.

Not really. We really just don't know for sure how the world was created, so it's more of a lack of knowledge than a paradox.

It's just binary code encoded in binary code, so not really.
