A paradox is a statement that seems to be inherently self-contradictory.

That is, when we observe that something appears to be some way, even though it's very nature

makes it impossible to be like that.

Now if that isn't already confusing enough, we're going to deconstruct the most famous paradoxes

in history.

And they come from a Greek philosopher named Xeno.

It's coming up next, Unskeptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor.

We're conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

Also surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org-skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org-skep-t-o-i-d.

Thanks.

You'll recognize them.

The most familiar of Xeno's paradoxes states that I can't walk over to you because I

first have to get halfway there.
