An intellectual paradox is the phenomenon whereby professionals and academics acknowledge a concept, practice it, write about it, and promote its relevance individually but as a collective lack a consensus on exactly what it is.

The britannian paradox is a historic situation where in a Roman britannian governor uses the entire britannian Roman army to attack Rome, but while doing so leaves Britannia to rot.
When this happens he loses all his support back home and can't afford to pay his large army(which is the only thing giving him the ability to take Rome).

The britannian paradox played out often, but as Hegel said, all we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.

When you say you want to play a game, any game, but your friends say no to that game. This is also true when your friends say that they want to play a certain game but you don't want to play that game. Thus, the I don't want to play paradox.
Person 1: Yo, dude wanna play Roblox?
Person 2: Naw bro lets play some Terraria.
Person 1: Dude, I don't want to play Terraria.
Person 2: And I don't want to play Roblox.
Person 1 : Then what else do you want to play?
Person 2: I don't know. And I don't want to play what you suggest.
Thus the I don't want to play paradox

The Infinite Shitter Paradox (ISP) is a paradox about how you go back in time to take a massive shit, and when you return everyone you know and love will die, and whoever survives will try to murder you with no sympathy.
"Have you heard of the Infinite Shitter Paradox?" "Yeah man, its scary. I cant believe that its real." "Yeah."

So this is a way to confuse everyone around you in an elevator when you walk in.
When you walk in an elevator, you do not turn around to face the door and continute to stare at the back of the Elevator.
To achieve maximum confusion, you walk out facing the same way untill the people in the elevator can no longer see you.

Me: *walks into an elevator, doesn't turn to look at the door*
Guy 1: Whats he doing, why is it making me unnerved.

“Yax Paradox” is when everyone around consistently NEVER listens to your advice when they ask for it and end up regretting it being an endless cycle.
