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.

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.

A situation where two people like each other, but do not act upon their feeling because of their nerves and fear of rejection. As a result, neither show that they like each other. Instead of a prime situation where both participants get what they want, both feel rejected and dejected.
John: I really like Alice, but I don't want to get rejected by her, so I'll just leave the party.
-----
Alice: I'd like to talk to John, but he seems too cool for me, so I'll let him be.
---
A mutual friend: They didn't talk to each other in the end, its a pretty unfortunate example of the lovers' paradox.

The paradox that is created when someone tells you that he or she is a liar. If he IS a liar and tells you that he is a liar, then he is telling the truth and can't be a liar. If he is NOT a liar, but tells you that he is a liar, then he is telling you a lie, so he must be a liar.
"Hey George! Don't believe a word I say!"
"Man, that's fucked up big time. If I believe what you are saying now, it means I must not believe you, and if I don't believe you, it means I have to believe you! It's the Liar's Paradox!"
