A wheel that turns in all conditions

שו”תCategory: Talmudic studyA wheel that turns in all conditions
asked 3 years ago

I heard from you in a recorded lesson that Rabbi Shimon’s innovation that every event that occurs, if it occurs, will be canceled, etc., is built on the concept of logical causality as built on the timeline.
Based on this, I had a strange question: A person who sanctifies so that the Kiddushim will be performed, or a gift so that we can clearly know the validity of the Kiddushim, enters into ridicule again. Because causality in the timeline is: conditional validity> The validity of the kiddushin, but the postponement of the kiddushin depends on the validity of the condition and vice versa.
Thanks in advance.

There are more natural loops. It’s just a liar’s paradox or an artificial anti-paradox. And the paradoxicality has nothing to do with R.S. Shkop’s idea at all. His idea allows loops, but not logical ones like this one.

Do you agree that there is a loop?
If so, is there a solution to it?

מיכי Staff replied 3 years ago

Absolutely. It has no solution, just as the Liar Paradox has no solution. It has nothing to do with Shkop. He doesn't offer solutions to logical problems.
