You can say the statement. Doesn't mean the statement is true. You might be a habitual liar and that particular statement is a lie.

this statement is false
I'll go with true.
A fun detail is that all the franken cubes fry and die after hearing the paradox, but Wheatley is still fine.
Yeah, the implication being that in a typical Sledgehammers-To-Crack-Nuts solution to a nonexistent problem, Aperture put full-blown, totally sentient AIs in their cubes/turrets that were at least as intelligent as Wheatley.
Also I only just noticed that Bagley from Watch Dogs is very, very similar to Wheatley.
Really? I didn't notice that.
I didn't either till someone mentioned it in a speed running video
Was that Msushi? I think I heard that same fact from him.
I think so. I've been watching a lot of his videos recently, so that's make sense.
but then it wouldn't be false
"I don't always lie." wink
"I lie a lot" would also work.
i always lie
"Starting at the moment this statement ends, I will always lie."
How do I know that wasn't a lie and that you will occasionally still be telling the truth?
You'd just have to trust me.
"Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid."
Not quite. You missed the fact that it doesn't need to be the entire statement. "I always lie when I say that the sky is green"
Technically you can't always lie ("always" is the key here) so the statement can't be true. Besides that you can say the words in that specific order, no problem.
Couldn’t you just say that you’re a politician? IMO that would be close enough.
I DON'T always lie
You could be saying the truth or lying in this instance.
I'm a habitual liar. close enough 🤷♂️
I'm a compulsive liar.
I don’t think that’s a problem because it’s impossible to ‘always’ lie and not be noticed. I don’t even know it’s possible to always lie. May be most of the time, but then you can say ‘i lie most of the time’ without any issues
