Douglas Paradox

The "Douglas Paradox" describes a situation where improvements to a rental property, while increasing the rent, don't necessarily increase the property's market value in a way that reflects the rent increase. This can happen due to factors like differing valuations between rental income and property value, or when certain improvements primarily benefit tenants rather than increasing the property's appeal to buyers.
We must think about the Douglas Paradox because fitting a luxury bathroom kitchen will increase the rent a tenant is willing to pay but it will not increase the capital value of the property.

Gammon Paradox

Someone that wants to keep their sovereignty yet rejects that very same sovereignty.

This occurs primarily when a Gammon that voted for a hard Brexit to get their sovereignty back, has a fit due to the law of the land (sovereignty) going against their wishes.

Or, when the act of a proroguement was deemed by a Gammon that it was not used for 'particular purpose' (i.e. Brexit), yet the Gammon insists the 'particular purpose' was affected by the deemed illegality of said proroguement.
"This is a prime example of a Gammon Paradox, as he insists the supreme court is the bad ones in all this, but the courts are part of our sovereign state."

Poster Paradox

The never-ending cycle of NBA players being dunked on. Everyone has turned someone into a poster and everyone has been made a poster.
Giannis has been dunked on and has dunked on someone. Therefore that is a poster paradox.

The Brooks Paradox

The Brooks Paradox is a modern slang referring to a mob of people / a group of people (in some occasions , a mob supprting one person) rapidly changing their arguments to whatever sounds the most morally correct regarding a topic they are defensive about or want to "strawman" their opponents in a debate. The catch to it is that , most of the time , it consists in two ideas being proposed that fundamentally condradict each other , but the user doesn't notice it as they focus on trying to sound like the most morally correct one in the debate. The name is a reference to Shad M. Brooks' (older brother of famous artist Jazza) recent controversy on the X/Twitter platform.
Shad says : "AI art is easy to use and is meant to democratize art! Stop gatekeeping art !"
Shad also says : "AI art is a complex tool that requires months of training and skill-develloping ! Not everyone can use it by just pressing a button !"

Everyone says : "The Brooks Paradox strikes again !"
