hey man, nah it's just a variation of a philosophical paradox from the greeks:
I think the original one was "All Cretans are liars"...
the paradox is, If i say everything i say is a lie, am i telling the truth? If i'm telling the truth (that everything i say is a lie), the truth surely makes the statement a lie...
it's from like 500BC or something (the original quote), and is a semi-famous one, and has been used in many contexts since though, so it could well be in Ghost in the Shell... it would seem like a pretty good place for it really!
I didn't really get into the series, but the film definitely deals with some high-level issues, though more about the nature of consciousness, morality and humanity..
