These aren't paradoxes. These are sophomoric reasoning errors. https://angryfaic.wordpress.com/2011/02/25/four-paradoxes-involving-infinity/ … Is this stuff really taken seriously?

Notably, to point out that there must be an error in reasoning was the original purpose of Xeno's paradoxes. And he was correct.

Idk I had the same reaction when I first saw stuff like that as a kid.
-
Me as a 7 year old: -Why do adults walk all the time? Short sprints are fun! -Why do adults eat all the time? Who cares about skipping meals if you’re having fun thinking! -Doughnuts are delicious! Ok, I was wrong here.
-
I rather suspect doughnuts used to be delicious. E.g. bread is delicious, as are apples. They simply don't sell either of those things in supermarkets.
-
(Is that historical doughnut you’re talking about?) Anyway, they are delicious, but I keep wishing my parents had told 7yo me they weren’t healthy (they whispered to each other when I asked for more doughnuts and I couldn’t figure out why). Bread, sugar, etc. :(
-
(Well, aside from half a dozen other health interventions I wish my parents had encouraged, such as Mewing.)
-
Now doughnuts are both unhealthy and untasty. So I guess that's progress?
