Some paradox may be illusions, but again, it's not really conceivable that all paradox is illusion. Some may also be about the structure of our language. I'm glad to see that you aren't chanting "equivocation" like a mantra anymore. Still, as before, it's not really conceivable that -all- paradox is an issue of the structure of our language. Plus, if we can;t trust our language...we can't actually trust logic built out of it...not even this bit you're offering about illusions and seeming, so..careful...lyou're treading towards your own dialetheism.
In any case, bringing it back round to the self. There are, sometimes, issues with self referential truth statements.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
