"Deep Thinking 001"

I'm one of nature's thinkers. I usually come up with random thoughts that no one else actually wants to talk to me about.

Anybody care to discuss:

"If you try to fail, and succeed, what have you done?"

I'd say fail, but I don't know for sure.

Yes, but failing at what exactly?

See my point?

It depends on what emphasis you place on the word succeed.

If you try to fail and succeed in failing, you've achieved your objective.

If you try to fail and succeed instead of failing, you've failed to fail so I suppose you failed.

it's one of those catch 22 situations. If you set out to fail and you fail, you succeed. If you aim to fail and you succeed, you've failed. But can you succeed in failing if you aim to fail.

It's actually not possible to do that.
