chuckle love the handle, and its an interesting point. Let's think about this.
When you say "the entire block after your colon", you are reifying a new object, and then observing that that object is self-referential. For sake of argument, let's say that's a valid move.
But what are the rules to this game? I mean, can I just say "I'm lying" and then, by fiat, construct a new object consisting of me and you, and claim that this new object is self-referential and therefore you are participating in a paradox too?
What about the object which consists of the totality of what the human race has written thus far? Since one of the things we've written is the liar sentence, does that condemn the human race, for all eternity, into hopeless paradox?
