Zeno is very annoying. He is advocating the thesis that we ought not to follow our senses, but reason and logic in formulating beliefs. When the senses and logic conflict, he contends that the senses are the less reliable of the two, so they should be disregarded. His arguments get most of their power from appeal to the foundational assumption of Logic--The Law of Noncontradiction. This law is the thesis that a claim is true or is false.

Most of my claims are both true and false, therefore I do not exist. Not all the ladies were won over by Zeno and his lines.
