How can you claim to live in a paradoxical world?

Pick any paradox. How can it be true of the world that you're a part of? Paradoxes are just what happen when human brains try to put human rules to an inhuman universe.

How can you claim to live in a paradoxical world?

Seems easy enough. I could take those words you just used and slightly rearrange them, throwing in some personal pronouns.

I wouldn't do that, though. Just because a thing is called a paradox, that doesn't mean the universe is messed up. I cited Zeno's paradox, then explained how it's not a contradiction.

But you're just shuffling words. Words are the things we use to share ideas with one another.

Zeno's paradox shows how people can stumble into problems that aren't there.
