Douche Paradox

Doing douchey things to make fun of douches, which in fact makes you a douche. This explains why no one thinks they're actually a douche.

When Blake blows dope vape clowds he thinks he's ironically making fun of douche subculture, when it actually just makes him a douche. This puts him in a douche paradox.

Girthy’s Paradox

This paradox is described as when Male A cannot create sperm to have children and Male B donates a working testicle to Male A. Then when Male A has a child with the new working testicle is the child Male A’s or is it really Male B’s?

Woah that’s crazy, are you sure that’s his child or did Girthy’s Paradox throw us for a loop?

Cognizanthazard Paradox

When inaccurate heuristics or cognizanthazards present a consistent problem to agents, such that experience is detrimental to performance or outcomes, yet experience seems necessary to complete the task.

Jake was told that seeing the movie decreased the ability of his competition to create a trailer for audiences. He avoided a cognizanthazard paradox by requesting random footage from the movie and learning nothing more about its plot while making the trailer.
