Impossiblity Exists (Inspired by a True Story)

Contention 1: Logical Paradoxes1. The Liar's ParadoxI would like to point out that this paradox was never addressed in my opponent's speech. I ask the judges to give me leeway on any arguments he makes against it in his next speech as I will not be able to address them within this debate, and he had the opportunity to make them in round 2 had he wanted to.If the man says he is lying it is logically impossible for his statement to be either true or false. This is because if it were true he would actually be lying, which means it would be false and the statement cannot be both true and false. If his statement is false then it means he is telling the truth, which cannot be the case if he is truly lying and we fall back into the contradiction of a statement being both true and false. It must hold true that impossibility exists if it is logically impossible to do something, giving you an independent reason to vote for me in this debate.2. The Debate.org Double-Win ParadoxMy opponent agrees that the website does not allow for double-wins and then goes on to make the claim that it is not impossible. Let me point out that my opponent does not warrant why, when the programming of the website forbids double-wins, it is not in fact impossible. However, even if it would be possible in an alternative variation of Debate.org with reworked programming for two debaters to win the same debate, it still holds true that under this version of Debate.org, it is impossible. For example, even if in some alternative reality it is possible to swim in molten lava, it is still impossible within this reality. Even if we may some day develop suits resistant to the temperatures experienced inside of the volcano, it is still impossible to do that right now. It will remain impossible until that technology is developed.Contention 2: Impossible ShapesThe Impossible TriangleMy opponent states that it is "oddly reminiscent of the Mobius strip." However, he des not tell us why this being a possible figure to make is linked to my impossible triangle. The picture he shows it not a paradox but rather an optical illusion, hence the multi-colored paper being used to confuse us. My picture is very clearly showing the black-and-white structure of this impossible to construct triangle. He also talks about how the shape would be awkward if made, without telling us how it would actually be made. To prove that it is indeed impossible to replicate as a 3D figure, find a single face of the triangle. Now, follow it around the edges, imagining it as a 3D figure, and continue to do so until you realize that you will touch each side of the triangle on many different faces, rather than on just one, representing the impossibility of reconstruction caused by the juxtaposition of the edges.Contention 3: Concepts ExistIllusions Are RealMy opponent argues that the idea of impossibility is an illusion, but does not address that illusions are still thoughts conceived within our mind, making them concepts. Now, he does try to say that illusions are not real. However, he does not tell us why this is true. I would argue that illusions are very much real. Illusions caused by depression lead to suicide, a very real consequence. illusions of hope lead to acknowledging opportunities, a real effect. Placebo illusions cure patients. Anything that can cause a real consequence must itself be real. Even if the placebo is not a real medication, it still has real effects. Just as even if impossibilities could not exist in a perfect world where everything is possible, they may still exist as concepts within our mind.VotersConduct: My opponent posted an opening argument in the first round when they are reserved for the second.Grammar and Spelling: My opponent fails to use proper capitalization within his speech. He also has grammatically incorrect sentences that are hard to follow.Arguments: 1. The Liar's Paradox2. The Impossible Triangle3. Illusions are Real
