Epistemology: The Preface Paradox

Google Classroom

Everybody has false beliefs, including you. But that means everyone's beliefs are self-contradictory. If we wrote down everything you believe in a book, we'd have to include one more statement in the book's preface: "some of the statements in this book are false". In this Wireless Philosophy video, Jonathan Weisberg (University of Toronto) explains the infamous "Paradox of the Preface", and what it might teach us about belief, reason, and logic.

Actually there is a way to prove that the earth is round,
You stand up a straight pole and measure its shadow from length then you have someone miles away in a straight line away from you do the same and if both of the measurements aren't the same the earth is round because if it was flat then the shadow would be the same because doing the pole side by side your measurements will be the same.(I don't have time to explain it through and through)
