I really like the direction of this and your last post. I have only encountered these so-called paradoxes in discussions with people trying to look clever. They get the explanation wrong every time. It makes me think a lot about the so-called 'skeptic' community. It's got nothing to do with the advancement of reasoning and is compulsively looking for clever things to say about everyday ideas. Paradox is TikTok for intellectuals.
My mind is pretty small when it comes to these kind of discussions....the only benefit I can see is that each participant, regardless of which envelope they end up with will be at least $5 richer, and possibly $10 richer. I'll let the philosophers deal with the other stuff.....

Looking forward to reading more about what is behind knowable reality!
