Neither, it's a paradox. If the first is true, then the second must be false, which makes the first false… it doesn't work.

A paradox

[False] The following sentence is false. [If we believe this then

[False] The preceding sentence is true. [this statement is false]

So if the second statement is false then it follows that the first sentence is not a true statement. If we believe one then we may choose to believe the other.

both are FALSE

the first sentence says that the second is false and the second says that the first is true but if the second is false then the first can't be true.

Reverse the order and the sentences read...

The following sentence is true. [if this is true then it's FALSE]
The preceding sentence is false. [if this is true then it's FALSE]

We have the same dilemma with the same result.

the first says that the second is true and the second says that the first is false

if we believe that one is true - for even a second - then we have the fact that ooops NO IT'S NOT!

These sentences are false.

an unending argument

Both sentences are false.

If the first sentence were true, then the second sentence would say that it was false. If the second sentence were true, then the first sentence would say that it was true. Neither of those work, both are false. :)

the following sentence hasn't been written yet so how do i understand if it really is authentic or not? you have not any comprehension of what you've written fool. Stand contained in the nook with the different fools.

this is really a logical impossibility, not a paradox.
if 1st were to be true then 2nd would be false meaning 1st is false
if 1st were to be false then 2nd would be true meaning 1st is true

This is cyclic and you don't have enough data.

So, you can't come to a conclusion.
