The YoungBoy Paradox refers to the ongoing "joke" across many social media platforms that states that "YoungBoy" (commonly known as NBA YoungBoy) is the best rapper ever and that he is simply better than your favorite artist. The paradoxical part of this comes in when your favorite rapper/artist is NBA YoungBoy. This would mean that NBA YoungBoy is better than NBA YoungBoy, but this is not possible since Nba YoungBoy cannot be worse than anybody.
"Yo my jhittaquantavionus have you hear of The YoungBoy Paradox?"
"Nah, whats that?"
"The theory that YoungBoy is better than himself, but can't be better than himself because he is better than everyone!"
"Huh?"

"The scientific observation that until a person can be visually observed to exist, they cannot be proven as a real individual and are assumed to exist within the beholder's imagination.
Which is then cancelled out by the fact that, for the beholder too have an imagination they must exist. But because they haven't been observed by most physical beings they're rendered non-existent"

Person 1: I've never seen you in person before, so you're just apart of my imagination
Person 2: that's kinda backwards logic, wouldn't that mean you don't exist because I haven't seen you?
Person 1: How does that make sense?
Person 2: It's probably The Yasuké Paradox, since you don't exist, I don't exist

The age-old conundrum of "people who seek self-improvement vs. people who need self-improvement" --- generally speaking, the people who are conscientious and unashamedly self-examining enough to actively seek ways to improve themselves do not really need to self-improve very much, whereas the people who truly do need to improve themselves will not admit that they even HAVE a self-inadequacy problem, and so they arrogantly/impatiently refuse to seek or accept help in improving their character or behavior (think, the infamous "getters gettin' got" conversation between Madea and Dr. Phil).
Client, to counsellor, at the outset of their weekly meeting: Breaker one-five for reality check --- come on back?
Counsellor, playing along: Yeah, go ahead, Breaker --- reading you wall-to-wall and treetop-tall.
Client: Thanks --- that's a big ten-four, good buddy. Well, I'm in the process of trying to improve myself, and so I thought I'd send a random shout-out over the waves to check my progress. I've been trying to be more sociable and patient and helpful to everyone, visualize things more from their perspective, and so on.
Counsellor: Well, eights and other good numbers to you on THAT one, good buddy --- that's certainly a positive start. Have you tried self-help books?
Client: Oh, a great BIG ten-four THERE, good buddy --- I've read at least a half-dozen of 'em cover-to-cover, and loved every page; the problem, though, is that I never seem to find any new ideas --- most everything in there is stuff I already know about and am actively practicing, so the books just reassuringly confirm the nature and wisdom of my efforts, not provide fresh perspectives for further improvement.
Counsellor: Ah... well, ten-four, good buddy --- I totally "get you" there... the old "self-help paradox", eh?? The only people who'll read those books are ones who don't need 'em!

Guy 1: Did you hear about Lisa? She apparently wants to date Nick cause he has no bitches.
Guy 2: Wouldn't that mean Nick would have bitches then?
Guy 1: Yeah, they must not know about the No Bitches Paradox.
Guy 2: Wouldn't that mean Nick would have bitches then?
Guy 1: Yeah, they must not know about the No Bitches Paradox.
