    He doesn’t specify what he will do if the statement is false. Immediately taking a drink if the following statement is false is still a valid option.

      How did you find the bonus panel? I don’t see it on the page anywhere

        This red button

        The design is a bit overloaded and it’s not really clear what the button does.

          Oh cool, yeah I never would have clicked that given it’s surrounded by social media garbage, but I’m glad I learned. Thanks.

              I have noscript set to block everything I don’t whitelist and ublock origin with pretty aggressive filters already, but the icons still show up, and the button was among them, so my vision just passed over it. It’s an unmarked red button surrounded by Twitter and Facebook icons. The scripts and trackers are already blocked on my browser.

        Also… I forgot to paste the img url on the first comment.

        Fixed.

    An excellent demonstration of how paradoxes resolve themselves, because someone will most likely ask him to leave.

    It’s almost like objective truths aren’t necessarily fixed indefinitely. Big paradox

    I’ve read Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth by Apostolos Doxiadis. The protagonist, Bertrand Russell, is my favorite philosopher now.

        Scan on Internet Archive

        I picked it up for the math but it turned out to be rather glossed over. Nevertheless, the epic storytelling kept me hooked throughout.

          I found a copy for 2.50£ on https://www.vialibri.net/ (LPT, great site/meta search for used books). I am totally going to read it online before.

    As a person he is about many things, not just the act of taking a drink, and thus the statement is true. Take a drink!

    Are “about to” and “immediately” synonymous in this case? I feel like there is an English loophole before any conversation on philosophy
