<h3><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">Yablo in Person</span></h3>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">Stephen Yablo is the inventor of Yablo’s Paradox, and one of the most respected contemporary philosophers in the world. He is also a professor at MIT, so I convinced him to join my class and give a guest lecture about \(\omega\)-sequences. The lecture is both super interesting and super accessible. I <em>highly</em> recommend that you have a look!</span></p>

<h3><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">Dialetheism</span></h3>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">Some philosophers think that the best way to deal with some of the paradoxes we have discussed in this section is to grant that certain contradictions are true. They think that, for some propositions <em>p</em>, it is both the case that <em>p</em> and that not-<em>p. </em>This view is sometimes called ‘Dialetheism’. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Priest" target="[object Object]">Graham Priest</a> is a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at CUNY’s Graduate Center. He is also the world’s most famous dialetheist. In March 2014 I met with him to drink tea and discuss true contradictions. See below for a five-minute excerpt from our conversation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">(If you’d like to learn more about Dialetheism, you can check out <a href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/2564636" target="[object Object]">this</a> paper by Prof. Priest.)</span></p>
