I awoke from a sugar-induced food coma with an ultimately pointless discovery.
The question "Is 'no' the only thing you can say?" is a paradox. |

Well, it doesn't make sense, I guess If you say "yes" to that question, that means that is not the only thing you can answer with, however you are saying it is the only thing you can say.
If you say "no", that means it IS the only thing you can say, despite it being not, I guess?
It's kind of contradicting yourself either way you answer. |

If you answer no to "is no the only thing you can say". You are saying "no" which kind of means it is the only thing you can say. |

| if someone asks you that question and you say 'no' then you are screwed by black magic to make you only say 'no' forevermore, right? |
