No, Zeno is just proof that follow-through is important. You aim PAST what you mean to hit and thus hit your target!

Algid posted:


In order to complete a cut the blade must move from its starting position to its end. However each cut must arrive at the half-way stage before it arrives at the goal. Thus a cut will finish 1/2 of its motion before it must then finish an additional 1/4 of its motion, followed by an additional 1/8 of its motion and so on. Thus a cut is not a singular continuous motion but an infinite series of discrete cuts which can never reach its goal.

The secret nature of Cutting is an impossibility. (This is a lie).

The fact that you guys think you need a blade or a sword to cut means that you will never reach royalty.

The fact that you can still cut and kill with a bladeless handle means that you have been irrecoverably poisoned by the sword.

Philosophers using flowery language to contemplate the true nature of cutting is infinitely less royal than hitting said philosophers with a thrown brick.

I don't think bluffing is the same as telling an affirmative lie, and also she wasn't in her shell pretty much at all at the time.

That and depending on when she could have been said to have made the "lie", she might have been having her shell ventilated by a Thirty Cubit Spear™, which I could see

The brick, the broken hilt, the gun, the bomb, the fist... they are but training wheels used by novices to channel the terrible fires of Want. True Royalty need only desire a Cut to occur and impose their Will upon creation; creation shall gladly part before them.

The Paradox of Motion is meant to serve as a form of reductio ad absurdum. This is similar in intent as to stories about hypothetical cats and how that relates to the Copenhagen interpretation.

Suppose a cat is released into one of the trapped halls of the Fortress of Yre. The traps that are present will either trigger and kill the cat or fail to do so and allow the cat to pass. After a certain amount of time, it must be said that the cat is simultaneously alive and dead.

However, if a Devil were to follow the same path, he would observe either a living or dead cat and not a cat that is both living and dead. At what point does the quantum supposition of realities merge and collapse into one state or the other?

This too is a paradox and a lie.

I feel like this is the kind of statement that gets interrupted by someone throwing such an object at the speaker to prove them wrong, followed by an indignant "WHO THREW THAT?!" from the bruised speaker.

The Devil would be dead because it would become too greedy and think it was far enough in to pilfer some money.

The cat would appear dead but then return to shoot the Devil.
