Feeling paradox

It is when a person feels he should do something, yet he wants to do the opposite. Or when his body is telling him to do something, but he doesn't want to obey it. Examples when you are hungry or thirsty even though you are full. or when you are dead tired, yet you don't feel like sleeping.

Man 1: Woooa, i am really tired
Man 2: Why don't you go to sleep
Man 1: I don't feel like it
Man 2: Dude, you are having a feeling paradox

NBA paradox

NBA paradox references the paradoxical notion that any disparity in a organization's racial composition is the result of systemic racism and/or discriminatory practices. This is the underlying justification for affirmative action and selective, race-based scholarships, grants ect.. An example would be: Because there are proportionally less African American Neurosurgeons than White Neurosurgeons, there must be some form of discrimination preventing African Americans from becoming Neurosurgeons, and to correct this injustice, we should target and support recruiting-efforts for African American Neurosurgeons. The paradox is to look at organizations that are disproportionately African American, such as the NBA. No one believes that discrimination prevents Whites from playing in the NBA, and most conclude that the disparity is due to African Americans having greater skill in this area. But accepting this idea is to also accept that disparities across race can be due to legitimate differences in skill, which are race-dependent. This conflicts with the dogma described above and is a paradox. This paradox is also sometimes used to reference the fact that most of those calling for change in racial-disparities through the active discrimination of other races, are usually serving their own race or will not be affected by the discrimination.

The NBA paradox tells us why constantly trying to socially-correct racial disparities can lead to real discrimination.

Bootstrap Paradox

The Bootstrap Paradox is a theoretical paradox of time travel that occurs when an object or piece of information sent back in time becomes trapped within an infinite cause-effect loop in which the item no longer has a discernible point of origin, and is said to be “uncaused” or “self-created”.

A time traveller who was a big fan of Beethoven goes back in time to 18th century Germany to search for Beethoven for an autograph. Upon reaching the destination, the time traveller cannot find Beethoven anywhere, not even Beethoven's family have heard of him. Not being able to bear the thought of a world without Beethoven's music, the time traveller coincidently has all of Beethoven's sheet music, he copies it up and publishes it. The time traveller has become Beethoven and the timeline resumes as usual, this is what we call a Bootstrap Paradox.

Orphan's Paradox

A child who's raised without nurturing love will behave aggressively towards others to the point of pushing away those who could give love to that child, thereby keeping the child in an unloving environment.

As an orphan I acted out because I wanted a family. No family would adopt me because I acted out. I was trapped in the orphan's paradox.

flying rabbit paradigm

A way of describing a profoundly loose framework of laws and theories in which just about anything you can imagine can potentially happen.

It was clear that she had been living inside of a flying rabbit paradigm since childhood.
