The Liar Paradox is a statement used in philosophy and logic to describe something similar to the following:

I am lying now.
This statement is false.

If the person speaking says the first sentence is true, then the second sentence would thereby be false.
But that would then mean that the speaker was lying afterall.
But, if the speaker truly is lying, then the first statement is actually false- meaning they are not lying.

PHEW!


"Philetus of Cos am I
’Twas The Liar who made me die,
And the bad nights caused thereby."
A poet and critic known as Philetas of Cos apparently wasted away from insomnia due to his constant fixation on THE LIAR PARADOX.
