The tremendous and infinite amount of equally opposing forces would not be sustainable by the thin wooden toothpick he calls a nose

Now is an instantaneous term only corresponding to the exact instant he states it. His nose will not grow until he finishes speaking then it will grow

A subtle distinction, but an important one.

Now it just depends on the rule that makes his nose grow.
If it is “False statements make his nose grow” then it does not grow
If it is “Statements that are not true make his nose grow” then it does.

There is no such thing as a statement that is both true an false, at least no logical statement. The paradoxes of quantum mechanics are stated as neither nors, not ands.

He seems to almost say it as a sad but inevitable fact;

Alas! My nose will now grow, for I have not spoken the truth’

Consider for a moment that we don’t know any external factors, for example; whether Pinocchio happens to be in a bath of water. In which case his nose would surely grow because being a wooden toy he would expand slightly, given the moist environment, rendering the paradox merely a confusion due to lack of information. Which is common among people who believe in imaginary entities:)

Lying is not necessarily the only way to make his nose grow!

Hope this helps to show that you should always check what you’ve been told. . .
