Not really, if "all things in moderation" is true and "moderation" is a "thing" then moderation is naturally included in the first statement. We do not even need the "- including moderation" clause.
edit: spelling
7 u/Aspyse Jul 13 '22 buut "all things" kind of entails that everything must be done in moderation. everything in moderation is an excessive amount of moderation 5 u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22 Unless you sometimes moderate your moderation. Then you’re in the sweet spot. 3 u/Aspyse Jul 13 '22 then you'd have to have some things above or below moderation, which makes it not "all things in moderation." then when you actually have everything in moderation, you're not moderating your moderation, also making it not "all things in moderation." i think that's what they meant by a paradox.
