But that sentence isn't self-contradictory like "This is a lie", it is just self-referential, like "This sentence has five words". It does have a well-defined meaning and is decidable for all hypothetical consistent people other than hypothetical consitentified Stuart Armstrong.
You're right, I didn't think that one through, thanks!
I still think the interesting thing is the potential for writing down a mathematical statement humanity can't decide, not an English one that we can't decide even though it is meaningful, but I'll shut up about the question for now.
