There are no true paradoxes, IMO, as they are all caused by either language ambiguities (or the fact that we have to do logic with language, and our own language isn't always up to the task with dealing with the ontology of the matter), but there are many examples of so-called paradoxes. The Liar's Paradox being the most classic example, but certainly IMO not being a true paradox. And not only do I not think there are true paradoxes, but I think that I know the solution to dissolving the Liar's Paradox, as do some other people, but the answer that I, and some others, suggest is by no means universally accepted. It doesn't mean the answer isn't correct however, just that the answer isn't accepted or understood by everyone.
Do you really believe that, or do you in fact believe that you sometimes tell lies?
