Well, I'd break it into a question of semantics. "If this statement is not X, it is Y", is basically all it says.
if(not(X))then(Y)
Has a table that looks a little like this:
code X Y | Statement T T | T T F | T F T | T F F | F This looks the way it is because of the NOT X. So, we can see that the bottom case of X false and Y false corresponds to the case where the sentence is not a shrimp but is a paradox. This evaluates to a sentence that is false overall. Sorted!

What makes this statement untimely confusing is the fact that it is not a shrimp. This would have us conclude that it is a paradox.
I have a problem with this. I would not be haved to conclude any such thing. I'd be all like, "It is not a shrimp, it is also not a paradox. It is just wrong."

code X Y | Statement T T | T T F | T F T | T F F | F I don't quite get your table. What does X - True, for example, mean? That it is a true statement?

Triple post!
John Locke time:
Quote: If a man born blind, and able to distinguish by touch between a cube and a globe, were made to see, could he now tell by sight which was the cube and which the globe, before he touched them?

melloyellow582 said: The fact that is IS a paradox makes it not a paradox. The sentence (if it can define itself, which is another matter entirely) basically states that it is a paradox; however, a paradox is basically something that doesn't make sense. So, logically it is true that if the sentence is not a shrimp (which it is not), it "must" be a paradox. That leads to the problem, because a paradox shouldn't make sense. That means that the sentence is NOT a paradox after all! Still, I am fairly confident that the sentence still is not a shrimp.
Again, it is very silly and doesn't stand have much true intellectual merit, but it is fun.
But, couldn't the actual paradox be that the sentence is a paradox? I mean, its a paradox that a paradox makes sense?
I'm a worker not a thinker. Whenever somebody has something that needs to be built or whatever, I sit back and let them work out the details. I jus' pick up a hammer and start nailing stuff together. I guess that makes me Mexican?
...then I got some ap, and shot a big ass lazar at everyone.

Just because something claims it is a paradox doesn't make it a paradox.

Very nice.
Yes, I reckon if he thought about it he could. Spheres have no discontinuities but cubes do, so I guess using that knowledge you could. I was going to make arguments about visualising based on the data from your hands, but that's not correct.
Rockbomb: I'd assume something visual, maybe, like "seeing"text, but you're right, head asplode.
