PARACONSISTENT NEWSLETTER - FALL 2009 “Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.”
Guess who said that and win free vacations to the island of inconsistencies! Decision between winners will be made on the basis of further information: title of the book and page number. The winner, if any, will be announced in the next newsletter. The quotation of the last newsletter was: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."
