you may use one but don't mention it.
At t1, I come into existence and
say nothing. At t2 I say,
“the cat is on mat” and nothing else. But, at t2, the cat is not on the mat. At t3, I say, “I never tell the truth” and nothing else. What exactly am I saying? Here are some
options:
(1) What I said at t2 is true.
(2) What I said at t2 is not true.
(3) What I said at t2 is true and what I am saying at t3
is true.
(4) What I said at t2 is true and what I am saying at t3
is not true.
(5) What I said at t2 is not true and what I am saying at t3
is true.
(6) What I said at t2 is not true and what I am saying at t3
is not true.
If (1), then what I say is false, full stop.
If (2), then what I say is true, full stop.
If (3), then what I say is false, full stop.
If (4), then what I say is false, full stop.
If (5), then what I say is true, full stop.
If (6), then what I say is false, full stop.
Are there any other options?
If not, whatever it is I say at t3,
it is not both true and false. Ergo, etc.
