If reality contradicted itself it wouldn't exist. Logical thinking (forget my usual statements of rational thinking because you don't even need to go to that lvel, logic will do) tells us this. But if reality doesn't exist how could I be saying this? And isn't the definition of reality "that which exists"?

To put in prospective I'll give an obvious example: squares has four even sides. If we see something with round we cannot realistically say it is a aquare because it has no sides. There can be no contradiction of a case of a square with more or less than four even sides.

I know that's a simplistic case and many of you will say it's different with other things, but here's my pre-response: no it isn't.

Also I'm curious to see if you can come up with any examples at all let alone realistic ones.
