Is this Jainish?

[Requia]

I cam across an essay claiming that the Discordian quote " All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense." Is Jainish in origin. Is this true? And if so what does it actually mean in Jainism.

 

[nameless]

the philosophy is known as Anekantavada, not sure it existed before jainism....

Anekantavada - principles of pluralism and multiplicity of viewpoints

 

[Valjean]

Simplistic drivel, probably penned by someone too intellectually lazy or ignorant to critically analyse the statements in contention.

Do you mean that the quote I posted is equivalent to this Anekāntavāda thing is drivel, or that what I posted and the (apparently) Jainish philosophy is drivel?

I mean some statements are unequivocally false, true, &c.

Perhaps I'm missing the shades of grey.
