003 - The Pinocchio Paradox (and the Principle of Explosion) - The Weird Math Guy

The Principle of Explosion will be our guiding principle as we cut through the weeds of modern mathematics. I explain how it works by outlining the Laws of Thought and applying the laws to the Pinocchio Paradox, a variation of the Liar's Paradox. I introduce the concepts of completeness and consistency and suggest that we can't have both, meaning that we have to make a choice between the two and whatever choice we make will have profound implications.

ABOUT THIS WEIRD MATH SERIES ♦♦♦
In this series we tackle big math ideas in short weird videos. Or is it weird math ideas in short big videos? Either way, it's going to be a wild ride. I hope you stick around!
