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.

Temporal paradox

A temporal paradox, time paradox, or time travel paradox is a paradox, an apparent contradiction, or logical contradiction associated with the idea of time and time travel. In physics, temporal paradoxes fall into two broad groups: consistency paradoxes exemplified by the grandfather paradox; and causal loops."

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.
