The paradox of Strongman Rule:
The ”stronger” the man on top,
the more submission they require.
The more submissive those below,
the more weakness they let slip.
This is why strongmen always lead their countries to poverty & pitifullness.

#KnowledgeBit: The #Grandfather #Paradox states that if one were to travel back in time and kill their grandfather before their parent's conception, they would cease to exist, thus preventing their own time travel.
It highlights the logical inconsistencies that arise from the possibility of altering the past, creating a paradox where the action both occurs and cannot occur.
#KnowledgeByte: The "#Antarctic #Paradox" refers to the seemingly contradictory observations of increasing Antarctic sea ice extent in some periods, despite the overall trend of global warming and the documented loss of ice mass from the Antarctic ice sheets.

#Complementarity is a fundamental principle that always needs to be accounted for.
Too many of our biases direct thinking toward group think, black & white binaries. This is reinforced & amplified in social (qty) situations, including science, the media, & education.

My solution to the liars paradox is geometry. Especially topology.
A liars paradox is just a linguistic Möbius strip. It has only one side and only looks like having more.
If you follow one path, you will realize it.
The >>whole<< object is a lie.

The #Birthday #Paradox states that in a random group of 23 people, there's a greater than 50% chance that at least two people share a birthday.
This counterintuitive result arises from the fact that we're comparing all possible pairs of people, not just matching one person's birthday to a specific date.

@blenderdumbass Language is multi-meaning in itself and how user uses it... but overall could see this as Freedom from Tolerating people (so Tolerance and Tolerating).
But I haven't read so just a quick one about this #paradox, but also check out #ChickenANDEgg for my post right now!

Höre die #CrusaderKings Tagebücher von #GamesPodcast ("Auf ein Bier") und muss sagen, der (kleine) Hype ist berechtigt! Lange nicht mehr so viel Spaß an einem #Podcast gehabt! Game of Thrones als Hörspiel

For me personally the word "Tolerance" means something akin to patience. Therefor I don't understand how we arrived at using this word to talk about Freedom. I have already written an article suggesting that it is perhaps a wrong word to use, and something like "Hate" or "Lack of Hate" would be a much better word to describe contemporary ...

Vor zwei, drei Jahren erst waren es die Af-dings, die auswandern wollten. Als Arbeiter unter Kollegen hab ich die jeweils kursierenden Verschwörergeschichten erörtert bekommen. Darunter auch von mehreren, die tatsächlich an Auswandern dachten, weil sie die für ihr Empfinden zu viele #Ausländer nicht sehen mochten.
Das #Paradox ,warum sie sich als selber Ausländer dann im Ausland wohler fühlen würden, als wie wenn sie anderen auch eine neue Heimat bei sich gönnten... seltsam
Fermi's Paradox
The SETInstitute, whose business is looking for extraterrestrial intelligence, summarise what they cheerfully refer to as the Fermi Paradox as "if they are out there, why don't we see them" and offer ideas https://www.seti.org/fermi-paradox-0
Some other organisations or web commentators seem to have decided that Fermi had something completely different in mind, or have a clear, different and unhelpful idea of what is a paradox, and go off into weirdness.
Das ist zwar völlig #unlogisch jetzt, als #Argumentation, aber ich finde, diesen #Luxus der #Unlogik können sich auch mal studierte #Wissenschaftler erlauben. Natürlich soll jeder das so machen, wie er/sie möchte. #Logisch ist das deswegen noch lange nicht. Mein Beispiel mit dem #Zeitform-#Paradox hat das sehr deutlich gemacht. Weiterhin fröhliches #Gendern wünsche ich.
