Kato Balance Paradox

The Kato Balance Paradox: A female companion must be smart and attractive and rank at least a 6 on the patented “thiccness” scale. Such a balance is so rare that it seems almost paradoxical. The alternative male type is much more easily satisfied (hot, rich, nba) giving a gay tinge.

Man that kid seems kinda gay. He’s always fantasizing about Paul George?

No, he’s just suffering from the Kato Balance Paradox.
True. And Paul George is kinda cute.

The Growing Pains Paradox

This is when you find yourself staying up late to do something that seems like a good idea at the time, but you regret it in the morning. Most commonly this occurs during television watching.

Commedian Jim Gaffigan has brought this issue to light during his stand up routines. In particular, Gaffigan goes into detail about staying up late to watch a Growing Pains marathon. This seems like a great idea at the time, but upon waking up...Growing Pains wasn't such a good idea afterall.

So essentially The Growing Pains Paradox is staying up late for anything that seems like a good idea in the evening. However, due to the lack of sleep you regret the decision in the morning.

"Uggh, why did I stay up last night watching a marathon of Ninja Warrior? I hate The Growing Pains Paradox!"

Genius Failure Paradox

Basically a common social disorder in which a person (most likely male) is extremely detatched from the rest of society, due to their beliefs that they are smarter/richer/genrally better than everybody else. They tend to be detatched because they feel that getting help and in
some extreme cases even talking to somebody with less assets than them is below them. People with GPF tend to live
very lonely lives. See hubris, loser.

Ted Kaszinski (the UNABOMBER) is one noted
example of someone with GPF.

Social Accessibility Paradox

A social paradox wherein the population becomes deceived into thinking that by pressing a “like” or a “share” they are physically contributing to change when in fact nothing is changing with the exception of a further increase of awareness of that topic.

Also known as:
“Ease of accessibility paradox” - fueled by apathy, laziness & the ability to press like or share & feel as if they’ve contributed to any change.

It was due to a social accessibility paradox that important issues were never resolved as the actions of so many resolved in the inaction of all.

puffed pastry paradox

This occurs every time something that looks so delicious, so attractive on the surface turns out to be tasteless and bland when tasted. Based on the common experience from eating French pastries.

Dropping a C-note at a disappointing fancy restaurant is an experience of the Puffed Pastry Paradox.
