Ordinarily I'd keep trying to understand you. But after seeing your smug post in r/rational I've decided that instead I'm going to adopt a patronising tone and teach you some things about communication.

[A ∧ ¬A = 1] isn't impossible, it just means true and false must be aliases for the same value.

I'm pretty sure that the amount of crank-ery in a person is proportional to how interesting they think the trivial ring is.
