Paradox

Probably you all know what a paradox is, but you just know a few of them. For all of you that don't know what it is, a paradox is a question which has no answer, or at least not a logical one. Today, I'm gonna show you all some questions that can make your mind explote so easy. Let's go!


I wanted to start slowly, I promise, but this surpasses me. Let's analize.
Here we have Pinocchio saying that his nose is going to grow. Pinocchio's nose grows just when he's lying, but if he says that the nose is going to grow, he's not lying...Your turn.



Another one, this can't be sane. This has no logical sense. My god, I'm a scientist, I'm an empirical guy, and these questions with no answer annoy me. If one is true the other one can't be false... Let's move on.


Okay, I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I quit, no more paradox. This one beats me. Its just...Mindblown.

Are videogames art?

This is one of the biggest questions for all the gamer community, are the videogames art or not?
Well, to answer this, we may know the definition of art, which is the expression or aplication of human skill and imagination. It isn't a very complete definition, but it's enough to our little work today.
In reality, videogames are just an upgrade of the cinema, the music and the paints. Why? So simple. The videogames are a mixture of these three arts adding also the quality of being playable. So, then we have that by the definition it can't fit in, but it's just an improvement of the other arts, so, what then?
Being subjective, I would say that not every game is art, as not every film is it, or every painting as well. It's a lot more for your own to determinate it. So, I would say a big big YES.

Mosh?

Maybe this title doesn't make any sense for many of you but, what about this?

This, is Eminem. If you don't know him you may life under a rock, or under the sea... or maybe you are just still using Internet Explorer. He has many songs, but recently I've been hearing to one called Mosh, upon which he expresses his dissapointment with the Iraq war, and trying to open people's eyes:

I give my sight to the blind, my insight through the mind

I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time

I also found really fun the way how he finally culminates his song by saying:

Stomp, push, shove, mush, Fuck Bush! Until they bring our troops home (c'mon).

I don't know if he would do something like "Fuck Obama!" actually, but definetly our dark skinned president is a thousand times better than Bush, or at least he doesn't show without any kind of respect his economic interests.

I also asked my father about the reaction of the war in Iraq, and he told me that in general, it wasn't really accepted by the average people, so my question is why did the government accepted that carnage? Aren't we a democracy? So now, more than ever..FUCK BUSH!
