Analysis of #70

Prove: My opinions are right and yours is wrong.

Theorem: I am right since everybody else is wrong.

Proof of Theorem: It is given that there is only one of me.
Assuming that everybody else is wrong:

Case 1: I am wrong - this implies that I am everybody else, which contradicts the given fact. Thus, I cannot be wrong.

Case 2: I am neither right or wrong - this implies that nobody is right. However, given that there always exist those who claim that they are nobody amongst everybody else, this implies that there exists an arbitrary number of other people who are right, which means that everybody else is not necessarily wrong. A contradiction.

Therefore, since the other two possibilities cannot exist, I can only be right since everybody else is wrong.

Proof: Given that you are not me, this must mean you must be part of everybody else. Then by the above theorem, since everybody else is wrong, you must also be wrong. Since opinions are part of one's self, your opinions must also be wrong. Furthermore, by the same theorem, I must be right, so my opinions are right. QED

By the above proof, anybody who tries to disprove my proof must be wrong.
