Paradox of the Day
"We have only one rule here: there are no rules."
Ok, so obviously the fact that there are no rules is a rule unto itself, especially since it's stated as the only rule. But for grins and giggles, let's play this one out.
Now let's say you attempt to enforce that rule, because apparently someone has broken it by establishing another rule (what a fascist).
Would that action effectively eliminate all rules, including the first, and therefore allow for rules to be made, thus instantly reestablishing that first rule and creating an infinite loop?
Discuss among yourselves.
I will neither confirm nor deny that this kept me up last night.

Well in another aspect I think this would work out with a small group of people but with a bigger group , people are going to always want someone else's materialistic items or their life/position
There's always a lot of loop holes in everything just depends if you find them or not
