| Jul 26, 2022 at 13:14 | comment | added | Speakpigeon | @Schnoz The notion of self-contradictory can be somewhat misleading. Formally, a statement is self-contradictory if it contains a contradiction. Informally, it may be said to be self-contradictory if is contains opposite words. Opposite words are for example day/night, black/white, good/bad etc. The problem with conflating opposition and contradiction is that we often don't agree on whether two words are contradictory, which makes self-contradiction something in the eyes of the beholder. So, it is going to depend on what exactly you mean by "absolute" and "change", and "in this world" etc. | |
