We are faced with one of two possibilities:
- The safe is unopened. Rob @beschizza will never open it.
- The safe has been opened. Rob @beschizza will never tell us he’s opened it.
Therefore, Rob is keeping us in a perpetual state of not knowing whether he has opened the safe, so when we think of the safe, we think of it as simultaneously open and closed, similar to Schrödinger’s Cat being simultaneously alive and dead.
I’m naming this paradox Beschizza’s Safe.
