LIAR LIAR - BRUCE ALMIGHTY UNIVERSE THEORY

The following theory is based on several texts between the hosts regarding the rules of Liar Liar … this lead to the subsequent theory that in an alternate movie universe Liar Liar’s Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is God (Morgan Freeman) in Bruce Almighty

What are the rules of Liar Liar exactly? We know that Fletcher Reede was incapable of telling a lie. But what Exactly does that mean? Does this simply mean that he was unable to knowingly lie or was he unable to say a factually incorrect statement regardless of whether or not he knew the actual truth of said statement?

For instance, let’s say for argument sake, Fletcher Reede was an avid listening of some sort of batshit crazy conspiracy theory talk radio; let’s just make someone up, someone completely fake. Let’s pretend there is an insane conspiracy theorist in desperate need of serious mental health treatment, let’s call that person Alex Jones. And this complete fake, totally insane person, named Alex Jones is going around saying something completely insane like, I don’t know, “The government is putting chemicals in the water to TURN THE FREAKIN' FROGS GAY!” Let’s pretend that this is something someone would say, and in our hypothetical scenario, Fletcher Reede is someone who listens to our fake radio personality, Alex Jones, and truly believes that “The government is putting chemicals in the water to TURN THE FREAKIN' FROGS GAY!”.

In this scenario, when applying the rules of Liar Liar, would Fletcher Reede be able to say the statement above, because in his mind this would not be a lie or would he not be able to utter the statement because the statement is not factually correct?

We determined that most likely the answer is that Fletcher would be able to say a factually incorrect statement as long as he believes that statement to be true. He would actively need to intentionally trying to lie for the Liar Liar rules to apply.

However, this is not necessarily the case … there is a clear alternative option where Fletcher is incapable of making any untrue statement. This splits the two options into two completely separate alternate movie universes.

We see in the movie Fletcher testing out the rules by trying to say that his blue pen was “RED”. This result in a quite funny outcome of Fletcher decrying that the pen was “ROYAL BLUE.”

This brings to question, what would happen if we applied this to other questions. Not only that, but would Fletcher need to know the true answer to have the outcome listed above. For instance, let’s use the same scenario as the movie however we make some slight tweaks. In the movie as is, hereafter “Movie A”, the color of the outside is the same color as the ink. In the real world this is not alway the case. Very often you may have a pen with a black case that may have black, blue, red, or any other color ink. Let’s say in our alternate movie, hereafter “Movie B”, Fletcher is holding a black cased pen with Blue ink, and rather than describing the color of the pen he is trying to say the color of the ink. In addition, to make it fair he grabbed the pen off someone else’s desk, rather than his desk, therefore he would not know before hand the color of the ink. What would be the end result of that test?

Would the Liar Liar rules make it that he would be unable to say any color but the true BLUE ink color? If no, then we’re done here and can move along with our lives. However, let’s say the rules force him to say the correct answer. Now let’s extrapolate that. After enough time with clever enough questions Fletcher Reede may become the smartest most knowledgeable being in existence.

What may come with infinite knowledge?! We posit that with enough time and clever enough questions/situations one in Fletcher’s position could become god-like. British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke wrote philosophical aphorisms known as Clarke's three laws. The 3rd law states “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

Let’s apply that to our situation. Take someone with infinite knowledge, therefore the ability to create sufficiently advanced technology which would give off the appearance of magic or god-like powers. Who knows what could be possible; manipulating elements, changing worlds, shape-shifting?

If we continue with this idea we have the potential for any number of possibilities. One of those possibilities is that Fletcher Reede with his infinite knowledge and advanced technology (god-like powers) will go on to be the God in Bruce Almighty.
