Hello everyone,

I just joined this subreddit. Before I bore you with explaining how i found this subreddit and how recently i joined this sub etc I wanted to know how the members would react to this weirdly unninentend paradox which made me laugh and then made me think . This is not an attempt to offend anynone, i was just thinking that the statements were condtracitory just as I was trying to solve a similar problem in my PhD disseratation.

By brother went to South Korea recently. He was in a restaurant with self-service, and due to an unfortunate mistranslation, the following contradiction was stated.

1. Water and a side dish is self

2. Please return being dish

I found this absolutely contradictory. But I just finished reading about a very famous individial who made the point that is is indeed very much possible. Does anyone have an idea what this refrers to? Who was one rhe people that saw a perfect coherent logical conslusion? I am wondering, because i just made a complete 180 on this matter.
