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.

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 968 Paradox

The 968 Paradox.

The 968 Paradox originates from the devil’s number "666" and resembles how the opposite of it "999" (the positive) and itself come together (when overlapped) to create “8” : the number of infinity as respected in many cultures worldwide. The 968 Paradox represents the paradoxical nature of positivity and negativity, and how they provoke and complete each other in the universal balance of life.

"My 'demons' started catching up with me when I realised I fell in love with you, feels like the 968 paradox."
