"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: "You don't exist physically because I've never seen you before in person"
Person 2: How the fuck does that make sense?
Person 1: it's the Yasuké Paradox, that's how!

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 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!

The paradox takes place when a self destructive personality takes a tab of acid hoping for a bad trip. The bad trip doesn’t take place and the user is left disappointed. By definition making the trip a bad trip but also not.
Can be used to avoid a bad trip, don’t recommend risking it.

“What did you get up to on the weekend?”
“Took a tab of acid hoping to trip balls and believe I’m a giant orange that everyone on earth wants to peel but it didn’t happen so I’m pissed”
“Bro is that like some mad paradox or something?”
“Idk man let’s call it illways paradox”

Paradox in which you are stuck in a situation where you can't decide whether to give hope or reject one's feelings basically having no other ways to deal with something until it dies off.
I.e: Someone who is afraid of commitment but doesn't want to hurt the other's feeling by rejecting them.
Officially named after the person who caused the paradox hypothesis
