Others-First Paradox

In the arrow paradox, Zeno states that for motion to occur, an object must change the position which it occupies. He gives an example of an arrow in flight. He states that in any one (duration-less) instant of time, the arrow is neither moving to where it is, nor to where it is not.15 It cannot move to where it is not, because no time elapses for it to move there; it cannot move to where it is, because it is already there. In other words, at every instant of time there is no motion occurring. If everything is motionless at every instant, and time is entirely composed of instants, then motion is impossible.

Whereas the first two others-first paradoxes divide space, this paradox starts by dividing time—and not into segments, but into points.

Extraphysical Absence Paradox

The extraphysical absense paradox is a stance where there's no clear objective/scientific evidence that extraphysics actually exist or that extraphysics are actually an objective thing and that extraphysics actually makes no difference in people's lives and even that extraphysics would have already been detected by particle accelerators or even by any other kind of objective physical experiment and not just on astral projections, out-of-body experiments and spiritual experiences as well. Some counter-arguments used against extraphysical absence paradox is the same one used against Physical-Extraphysical Dependence Paradox where physics and extraphysics are the same thing on different levels (Extraphysical Monism); other is that physical (classical and quantum) experiments are made only to work at physical level, not extraphysical; and that there are actually (clear) objective/scientific evidences and explanations for extraphysics but it's all a matter of interpretation and understanding of the nature of the interaction between physics and extraphysics.

"The Extraphysical Absence Paradox and the Physical-Extraphysical Dependence Paradox are the two main arguments against extraphysics, if not, the top two ones, and that's nice extraphysics is managing to survive against those arguments and experimentations, and soon, we might detect and prove extraphysics are real and objective soon or later, extraphysics/nonphysics is amazing just as quantum mechanics and physics as a whole."

Discord Server Paradox

A discord server to be active must have its members inherited from a previous community or start out as an already established community. In failure that one of the previous traits is not established the server will ether transition into one of two outcomes:

i. Fade into inactivity

ii. Dissolve into an established community.

When a discord server is nuked a power vacuum is built. Popular associates of the server create their own splinters in an attempt to gain the members of the deceased server. (If successful) the splinters become the new established community so a cycle begins. The community becomes so far distant to its forefathers that the culture of the original server dies and thus the paradox continues.

This paradox in theory would mean that almost all discord servers can traced back to servers created in 2015 when discord first went public.

Person 1: I dont know how to make my server popular, everytime I make one it dies within a few weeks.

Person 2: Have you heard of the Discord Server Paradox?

Baldwin's gun paradox

Baldwin's gun paradox typically occurs when a specific and equal amount of responsibility is distributed to a number of individuals surpassing the sum of 1, usually as a form of repetitive fail-safe (ie verify that a gun is not loaded with real bullets before it is fired at someone or confirming that no one is standing in the industrial oven with a timed locked door before it is turned on), sometimes resulting in each successive person erroneously believing that the person prior to them made the proper verification which they are now themselves certifying without any actual verification from their part as required by their role. Any guilt resulting from a catastrophic failure of the entire verification chain will either be attributed to none of the individuals involved or exclusively to the lowest person on the totem pole.

Thanksgiving Day Parade

Daytime has always been a good enough time for a parade for most people of generation after generation from cities all over countries that celebrate Thanksgiving, yet some people don't feel like they have enough complete control over events, and try to push it to the night time in some areas (the same people that push people with extended mandates and restrictions that force longtime and loved businesses to close so they can purchase the land for cheap and redevelop it into something they see more dollar signs in).

Somebody must think that all the people that held their Thanksgiving Day parade during the day before them were old school idiots that didn't know how to have a good time, even though people always loved the daytime parades and didn't really want their hearts or minds changed for them.

The sacred text paradox

a sacred text is either metaphorical or literal, depends on it's use in a argument.

A clear exemple of The sacred text paradox is:
"No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord."
It's about transgenderism, circumcision or CBT. depend on who is saying it hates the most
