A statement can be either true or false. A statement just is. We assign to it a degree of truth or falseness. Can we know a statement? Yes. |
Statements are true if they are either truth by definition (like 'all black cats are black') or truth by matching the state of the world ('the cat is on the mat' is true only if it happens int he world, in natur,e that the cat is on the mat). Therefore NO, statements are not true and false, in fact they are either true or false.

That would mean that I'm defining the TOE as an exclamation mark and so this is a true statement.
do you absolutely agree or disagree? |
Someone that realizes the true meaning of ideas knows this one is of the worst. We all have arrived to a conclusion of yours. But it's simply terribly wrong. If it is true, then I can say you are stupid and because I say subversion=stupid you are stupid as it must be true. But I'm sure you disagree that you are stupid, and so do I. Moreover, I can say the theory that everything said is true, is false, then this must be true, so it is false that it is true that everything is true, therefore not everything is true and the theory that everything is true is false.
