Question of life: Failure or Success?

[Svenne]

Wait a minute: If you failed at failing, you have succeeded.

It's obviously success. If you fail to fail, then you succeed. If you succeed to fail, you fail. If you succeed to succeed, you succeed. ez maths r ez dawg

This is getting interesting :D

Your question answers it self. By saying you fail, you don't success at what you were trying to do, which is failing. So if your trying to get an F in a class, and you get an A, then you failed at what your trying to do. thus Fail :D

But you succeded to fail thus Success.

But you succeded to fail thus Success.

success and failure is determined by what you consider to be the desired outcome, therefor anything you want to happen that does is a success, anything else is a failure.

if you want to fail and don't do so, you failed to do so.

Yeah if you fail at failing you get it right but if it's fail at failing you still fail :O
Confusing?

[zz_tophat]

Look, it's not a question of semantics as the meaning of the words fail/success is pretty cut and dry. It's also not a subjective argument because success/failure means the same thing to everyone to varying degrees.

So the question is: Is something that happens that your don't want to happen, even if that thing is good, still something that you didn't want to happen?

The answer is of course yes, because you didn't want that to happen.


So, failing to fail is a failure.


There is no logical way it can be interpreted as anything else.

[Daedalus]

It could mean either of these things:

1. You failed, when trying to fail, so, SUCCESS!

2. You failed at failing, so, FAILURE!

It depends on how you interpret the second fail in the question.

[Annihilation]

Divide the question with 0 and see what's the answer is.

[bikerdude3000]

If you fail at trying to fail then you succeed at trying to fail. however that means you are succeeding at failing and failing means you didn't succeeding so that means failing. but if you were trying to fail in the first place and succeeded at failing, you've failed at trying to fail by succeeding. yeah, think that over. cuz it's correct :D
