The realism paradox: Realism can act as a form of signaling despite being associated with cognitive load.

Paradox, apparently self-contradictory statement, the underlying meaning of which is revealed only by careful scrutiny. The purpose of a paradox is to arrest attention and provoke fresh thought. The statement “Less is more” is an example.

The Romantic Paradox investigates the prevalence of death in the poetic romances of the Della Cruscans, Coleridge, Keats, Mary Robinson, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Landon, and Byron, and posits that understanding the romance and its violent tendencies is vital to understanding Romanticism itself.

If something is paradoxical, it involves two facts or qualities that seem to contradict each other. Some sedatives produce the paradoxical effect of making the person more anxious. Paradoxically, the less you have to do the more you may resent the work that does come your way.

Quick definitions: Paradox is something that seems inherently self-contradictory. Paradigm is a kind of world-view, a set of assumptions on which everything else depends, but so basic as to be almost invisible.

If the statement assumed to be true, it’s a paradox. If the statement is false, it is not a paradox. That is because simply because “I always lie” is false, does not mean that you cannot sometimes tell the truth, and sometimes lie.

The only thing that you can do when someone thinks you’re lying is to just let it go in whatever the situation may be. You and God both know the truth and that’s all that matters. You don’t have to explain anything to anyone else. However if you are lying just try to be honest.

But the best way to forgive a liar is to simply let them go. Letting go will hurt for a while, but don’t be afraid to hold your head up high and walk on. Once you accept that there’s no way to change the past, you can put the lies are behind you, and live your best life.

Killing AI by ‘thinking’ about a paradox would be called a bug in implementation of that AI, so it’s possible (depending how it’s being done), but less likely.

Paradoxes deal with uncertainty and ambiguity. They take us away from the familiar, the control, consistency, and closure we seek. If you crave control you won’t handle paradoxes well.

A paradox is a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth. These questions present you with a paradox and ask you to resolve it or explain how that contradiction could exist. Paradox questions are rare and more common at the higher skill levels.

There’s nothing complicated about oxymorons, they’re simply words or phrases that contain a contradiction in terms. For instance, “bittersweet” is an oxymoron, and it’s also a paradox. A crash landing is also a paradox if you think about it.
