The logic which has developed as a direct consequence of the impact facebook and other social networking sites has on society. Meaningful relationships are undermined as friends are reduced to contacts which are to be collected as commodities in the attempt to appear cool.
The pervasiveness of this ideology legitimates the increasing transience of social relationships.
In layman's terms it becomes cool to have a vast pool of contacts requiring too much time and effort to properly maintain. As such the people worthy of an individual's time and effort are determined by the rewards that come with associating with that individual.

Get the The Facebook Paradigm mug.When you ask your friend to make a choice between 2 things that make no difference to you or your group and they say “I don’t mind” or “I don’t care, you choose”. This results in an argument trying to make them choose before someone eventually gets pissed off enough to make the choice for them.
Joe: “ Hey Liam do you want to play out wide or in the centre on pro clubs tonight?”
Liam: “I don’t care, I’ll play wherever after everyone else has chosen.”
Danny: “Oh shit you shouldn’t have asked him that, you’ve now entered ‘The Lawrence Paradox’.”

I have no condoms, what the fuck am I going to do?
You'll just have to get off at Sydney Parade, my man.

Get the Paradoxasaur mug.In NCAA Division I football (FBS), the "BCS paradox" occurs when a conference simultaneously wins and loses the BCS National Championship game. Despite not winning the conference division and playing one less game while the other team competes for the conference championship, the 2nd-in-division team still competes for the MNC (Mythical National Champion) title.
The resulting game is 100% guaranteed to top any previous games labeled as "The Game of the Century", and ensures that the record of "Most Viewers Falling Asleep" will be shattered.
Note that the "BCS paradox" only applies to the $EC, because no other conference can bring in the same amount of money...er, produce the two greatest teams in the nation.

Despite losing the snoozefest against LSU in the regular season, Alabama's week of rest (while LSU was battling Georgia for the conference title) paid off as the Crimson Tide beat the Tigers in the most boring game in the history of football. The fact that the SEC both won and lost the BCS National Championship resulted in the first-ever "BCS paradox".
