A discord server to be active must have its members inherited from a previous community or start out as an already established community. In failure that one of the previous traits is not established the server will ether transition into one of two outcomes:
i. Fade into inactivity
ii. Dissolve into an established community.
When a discord server is nuked a power vacuum is built. Popular associates of the server create their own splinters in an attempt to gain the members of the deceased server. (If successful) the splinters become the new established community so a cycle begins. The community becomes so far distant to its forefathers that the culture of the original server dies and thus the paradox continues.
This paradox in theory would mean that almost all discord servers can traced back to servers created in 2015 when discord first went public.

Person 1: I dont know how to make my server popular, everytime I make one it dies within a few weeks.
Person 2: Have you heard of the Discord Server Paradox?

A social phenomenon arising in the context of neoliberalism, a specific form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In this setting, individual gains, particularly those spurred by the moralization and normalization of commodified emotional labor, lead to collective losses. These losses manifest in forms such as systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, and perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuits and collective well-being, exacerbated as governments and societal structures exploit surplus emotional labor, further normalizing its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health and well-being.
A: you see that video of the nurse bike incident?
B: A Collective Devaluation Paradox.
A: wa?
B: A social phenomenon w/ often occurs in neoliberalism, a form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In situations like this, individual gains can lead to collective losses.
A: losses?
B: They manifest in various way, eg. systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, & perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuit & collective well-being.
A: I see. So perhaps, in a world where emotional labor hadn't become moralized to become commodified, the men might have recognized the woman's situation - her role as a nurse, her apparent exhaustion & consider letting her take the bike as an act of kindness or empathy. But in our current society, where interpersonal interactions are often viewed through a capitalist lens, there's no societal expectation for them to do so. The moral obligation to consider the emotional state of others is diminished in the face of individual rights & possessions.
B: it doesn't stop there. Societal structures often exploit surplus emotional labor, which further normalizes its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health & well-being. So, while everyone seeks individual gain, we have broader societal loss.

When someone is both stupid and malicious and you can't tell which is the dominant factor driving a behavior.
The boss just assigned Dickhead McGee to my team and I can't decide if he did it because he doesn't know that it's a terrible idea, or he just hates me and wants to see me suffer. It's a real Hanlon's Paradox.

The paradox that results when one smokes or otherwise inhales cannabis then, as a full grown adult, proceeds to watch children shows all the while claiming it is an adult show, despite the show being designed for toddlers.
