Poe's Paradox

In any fundamentalist group where Poe's Law applies, a paradox exists where any new idea (or person) sufficiently fundamentalist to be accepted by the group is likely to be so ridiculous that it risks being rejected as a parody (or parodist).

Conservapedia: "Reasonable Explanations for Atheism - Moral depravity, ... poor relationship with father, ... scientism."

New Conservative member (who honestly believes this): "They could also be demons sent by Satan to try to convert our children so they'll go to hell."

Conservapedia: "You're not funny. Parodies have no place here."

Atheist member: "HAH! Poe's Paradox!"

Tunger's Paradox

Whether the day preceding an async day that is not a thursday is considered a fake friday or not

neither tuesday nor wednesday are thursday or friday
but wednesday will be async
and tuesday will be last day she will talk to us
does this mean that tuesday is fake friday?
Damn, this is a real Tunger's Paradox

Vikaasian Paradox

Proposition that all singularities are based on dualities. For instance linear cultural time sits on cyclical cultural time; consciousness as a oneness sits on top of a recursive duality of linearity and cyclicality; and momentum (unidirectionality) is a product of tension between two opposing forces ie. all comparisons are contrasts.

The assertion that Western philosophy is driven by the recognition that existentialism (authentic existence) and free will cannot both truly coexist is a demonstration of the Vikaasian Paradox.

Anakin’s Paradox

When the action of one’s doing to prevent something ends up being the catalyst for its occurrence. For example, if I set out to save a fish, and my attempt to save the fish ends up getting the fish killed, then this is Anakin’s Paradox.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith really showcases Anakin’s Paradox.
