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 !"

Get the Melancholy Phile Paradoxmug. The decision faced when prompted with a low battery on a device such as a phone or ipod you wish to use later. Brought on by the fear that by going through the energy-consuming act of turning off the device you may actually use the last of the battery you are trying to conserve.
As Jenny needed her phone to call a cab later but had minimal battery left, she was faced with the Battery Conservation Paradox. Did she dare attempt to turn off her phone lest it die completely?

Get the The Battery Conservation Paradoxmug. "(The) Opposition Paradox" is a term credited to the philosopher C.M. Nutter for describing when people are unwilling to try new things that others recommend without a logical reason other than to simply provide opposition to the idea of trying something new.
Donna recommended her and Steve go to Chinese food for dinner. Steve opposed the idea even though he never tried Chinese food. Donna pushed and eventually Steve conceded and they had Chinese food for dinner. After trying the food Steve fell in love with Chinese food wonder why he opposed it and was never willing to try before. Therefore being a victim of the Opposition Paradox.

The act of committing a crime knowing full well you are in the wrong however, doing so regardless because of your addiction to committing said crime but eventually, when you are caught for the aforementioned crime you attempt to disparage the crime which leads to you believing the crime was justified despite formally understanding that that was not the case.
Adrian tried to disparage the acts committed against his Brazilian friend despite knowing that his actions were iniquitous; It seems he is trapped in the Lawrencian Paradox

No matter how much technical detail you can use to explain the genetic relationship between you and that chick you kissed, I know she's your sister, and I'm not listening to your Zeno's Paradox Fallacy nonsense.
