In a certain village there is a man who is a barber the barber shaves all and only those men in the village who do not shave themselves.
Does the barber shave himself?

that should have been Russell. it's all to do with the use of "all" and set theory and other arcana like that.

this is a different formulation of Russel's (library catalogue) paradox, no? in which case, there is no answer.

2) he does not shave himself. if this is the case, since he is a man in the town, and it is his job to shave every man who does not shave himself, the barber still shaves himself whether or not he fucking wants to. because that's his damn job.
==========================
But he does not shave himself. He can't shave himself if he does not shave himself.

well there are two ways to look at this. both contain the same outcome....
1) by saying that the barber 'shaves only those who do not shave themselves' then you're saying that the men have the option to shave. by giving them this option, you're permitting the men to either shave themselves or be shaved by the barber. So, either the barber shaves himself, or
2) he does not shave himself. if this is the case, since he is a man in the town, and it is his job to shave every man who does not shave himself, the barber still shaves himself whether or not he fucking wants to. because that's his damn job.
so YES...the barber shaves himself.
