Can you think of any knowledge that could not be expressed in true statements?

I cannot understand your question. Please explain.Can you think of any knowledge that could not be expressed in true statements?
Knowledge: Result of absolute logical insight in recognition of the truth.





Truth: The effective compliance of knowledge with Logic, which is Creational power and the absolute of all consistancy.Can you think of any knowledge that could not be expressed in true statements?
How about love?





I've heard when people are in love, they just know it but can't explain it.





Is ';I love you'; a true statement? How can one prove it? By buying chocolates and flowers and teddy bears? By giving up your own dreams to live in theirs? Is that hard proof or just undecipherable hieroglyphics? But it's knowledge to the one who says it and means it.





But of course, I'm just speculating here, as I have never been in love.

It is raining


It is not raining





Therefore:





Pigs fly.





This arises from the principle of explosion, a law of classical logic stating that inconsistent premises always make an argument valid; that is, inconsistent premises imply any conclusion at all. This seems paradoxical, as it suggests that the above is a valid argument.





unfortunately, knowledge is usually defined as ';true justified belief'; and therefor no knowledge can be classified as ';untrue';, this example i have give is only the antithesis to truth as defined by the ';system'; used.





you can define a system of knowledge and then find the antithesis.





I personally enjoy finding them and then making jokes about what they intern define but people generally disapprove. (why...well that direction is full of things that our minds are bad at ';understanding';)

The only example I can think of is a koan. The knowledge that is learned is an intuitive awareness that comes from the shock of the mind from a (usually) meaningless statement.





Since the statements are impossible or a paradox...then I feel they lack the integrity to be declared 'true'.
Truth is a criterion of knowledge. so the answer to your Q is NO!
