the minds arch - a story - about unlearning :: (unlocking logic)

I find myself at an intersection. 

I will never have a (collision) accident there (at this intersection).

One day - I do have a car accident (at the same intersection I predicted I wouldn't) - but it undeniably happened.

But it never happened.

(Because it was a lie.)

Question pertaining to the above narrative: What did I just do, there?

==========

Answer: This is how language works.

==========

When I said I would never have a car accident at the intersection.  (Then, I did.) The rationale I chose to give before it happened was "I would never have an accident at this intersection." Therefore, on the premise that I did have a car accident at said intersection - it could never happen because - as I said: it would never happen. Therefore, when the accident happened it was only a lie.

P.S. only genius can purely reason there way though this.
