The unanswerable question!
2006-10-23 08:33:53 · 16 answers · asked by Joe 2 in Arts & Humanities ➔ Philosophy
If I answer your question, "Yes", then the answer is "No." Regrettably, if I answer your question "No" then the answer is "Yes." Either way you've got me by the kazatchkes*. If I elect not to answer, you may accuse me of being perverse or ignorant. If I challenge you or retaliate in kind I am being confrontational. If I simply sit here with a vacant stare I am feigning ignorance. Are we having fun yet?
*pleural form of "kazatchka" but rarely spoken of in the singular

'Yes or no' in itself is not a question. However, if the whole is taken as a question, then, by inferring that it is, the answer should be 'NO'.

Yes or no; have you stopped kicking puppies?

if you want a no for your question then you have the 'no', if you want a yes for your question then you have the 'yes' for it. thanks for two points.

This "question", if we can call it this way, is such a fallacy!
