My older brother gave me this book around 20 years ago, and only now am I getting back to reading it. It talks about paradoxes, which often involve contradictions of a sort, such as:
This sentence is false.
Or systems of true statements which collectively form a paradox:
The following sentence is false.
The previous sentence is true.
It reminds me of the many contradictions or seeming paradoxes I seemed to be observing during my self-diagnosed manic state. I would like to return to that state, but under more controlled conditions (or at least not in the middle of the workweek...) I would like to maintain it in a form. Perhaps it is close to the "normal" state of functioning for most people. It seem to me it involved loss of fear. Maybe it had to do with nearly collapsing (heat exhaustion), yet "surviving" the incident, and after that my mind was "tricked" into dropping fear. Almost as if I'd had a few puffs on some good quality pot. (haha...)
Well, I'd better get back to work....
