Sylvia: Rob, when you mentioned the the term fauxparadox, it reminded me of the classic "chicken or the egg" dilemma. But with modern evolutionary biology, we understand that it's more of a fauxparadox since birds evolved from reptiles, suggesting the egg came first.
Rob: Exactly, Sylvia! It's fascinating how many things we perceive as paradoxes can be clarified with a bit more knowledge or a different perspective. People attach too much weight to what they think is a paradox, when what you have to do is try to solve it with more observation and the scientific method. Most paradoxes are simply hard problems and thought experiments. A Fauxparadox is a playground for grifters the naïve and fools.

Although it started as a joke they were funded by Mark Cuban to build a new tier 2 world soccer team called the Mendacious Fucks.

He's basically calling people liars which is kind of a fun name for an international soccer sports franchise.
