paradoxical phramacology

Administering drugs that will make the symptoms only worse, so that the body can be well-prepared to battle the on-set of disease next time!
Weird...innit?

Doctors gave a weird name 'invert agonists' for those who go through this kind of new therapy called paradoxical phramacology! Go figure!

Blanchard's Paradox

The dilemma that all autogynephilic men must confront: stay a man and remain sexually unfulfilled on account of not being a woman; or become a woman and remain sexually unfulfilled on account of all the hormone therapy nuking your sex drive.

I honestly don't know whether to troon out or not: how will I fap to not having a dick any more if I don't have a dick? It's Blanchard's Paradox all over.

Zeno's Paradox

A paradox in applied philosophy analogous to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

Tenet 1 - Advice or information taken from Zeno at face value will always be wrong.

Tenet 2- Investigation or contestation of any information taken from Zeno will always show it to be correct.

Corollary to Tenet 2- When such a contest is resolved in Zeno's favor (as it always will be) the contesting party will be severely mocked.

Therefore, interaction with Zeno will always result in the interacting party coming away wronged or mocked.

A bargain leather jacket was purchased on the basis of Zeno's insistence that it was real leather. As it turned out, it was not real leather. Forty dollars was lost when a hot fork punctured a whole in it.

But mocking ensued when, despite everyone's doubts and harangues, Zeno's method for estimating hourly television power costs turned out to be completely correct.

According to Tenet 1 of the paradox, if the leather jacket had not been purchased, it would in fact have been real leather.

According to Tenet 2 of the paradox, if Zeno's method for power estimation had not been knocked, the estimates it provided would have been grossly erroneous.

the 69 paradox

the 69 paradox is the philosophical concept defined by the powerhouse philosopher Sealeft. It is derived from the idea of the sex act in which participants are able to stimulate orally simultaneously. The way of breaking the cycle is through orgasm, providing a means to an end, however since it is impossible to cum at the same time there is an imbalance in this chain. The concept makes this applicable to philosophical paradoxes which are technically breakable, but very unlikely, with the more common outcome in attempt most likely creating imbalance.

the 69 paradox was implimented in "the chicken and the egg" problem, breaking this cycle likely through imbalance rather than a direct freeing from the cycle at once.
