<p>What are your favorite paradoxes. </p>
<p>I really like, although maybe clich</p>
<p>That’s not a paradox.</p>
<p>No that’s totally a paradox, how can you learn to swim without touching the water? Ohhh, that’s good lol.</p>
<p>It’s only a paradox if you DO learn to swim. If you don’t learn to swim and you never touch the water, then there’s no problem.</p>
<p>True I suppose, but to carry it out is a logical impossibility lmao.</p>
<p>How is it logically impossible? Under the assumption that it’s impossible to learn to swim without touching water, the advice is clearly that you shouldn’t try to swim at all.</p>
<p>No I mean it’s logically impossible, barring not swimming at all, to learn to swim without touching water.</p>
<p>I guess you could carpet swim, or attach yourself to a harness and air swim… but that’s…yeah</p>
<p>It’s not logically impossible to learn to swim without touching water. It might be practically impossible, but that’s a completely separate issue.</p>
<p>Simpson’s Paradox</p>
<p>we were learning about it in stats one day my Jr year. Later in the day I am half asleep in my Gov class and our teacher is talking about voting and polls and stuff. He started to talk about a situation where Simpson’s Paradox comes into play (but never said the name). I put my head up and go, “oh that’s Simpon’s Paradox” then go back to sleep. He wasn’t sure how I knew it and people were like ***. Haha, all thanks to stats</p>
