Trivialism

Trivialism

Trivialism is the thesis that every proposition is true. A consequence of trivialism is that all statements, including all contradictions of the form "p and not p" (that something both 'is' and 'isn't' at the same time), are true. This view point is advocated by the religion Discordianism.
